Multifactor Authentication Market Trends

Increasing Security Threats to Boost market growth

An increase in data breaches and cyber-attacks is expected to drive the growth of the multifactor authentication market CAGR. A cyber data breach is unauthorized access to a computer system or network to obtain customers' or users' private, sensitive, or confidential personal and final information. With so many breaches planned, multifactor authentication must be implemented through endpoint detection and response (EDR), biometrics, cloud security, code auditing, and embedded system security assessments to prevent data breaches.

Furthermore, launching new mobile banking platforms presents high market growth opportunities. Today, there are thousands of digital platforms where payments can be made. The emergence of e-commerce businesses has led to greater adoption of digital payments. In the next few years, online shopping will become the main preference of customers. As a result, digital payments are expected to grow significantly. Growing mobile banking will bring huge opportunities to the two-factor authentication market. In particular, the two-factor authentication market will have more demand for OTP generation and network security. These market opportunities will amplify the growth of the overall industry. Thus, driving the Multifactor Authentication market revenue.
