Multifactor Authentication Market by Model (Two-, Three-, Four-, and Five-Factor), Application (Banking and Finance, Government, Military and Defense, Commercial Security, Consumer Electronics, Healthcare), and Geography - Global Forecast to 2022
MarketsandMarkets forecasts the multifactor authentication market to grow from USD 6.0 billion in 2016 to USD 12.5 billion by 2022, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.52% during the forecast period. The major factors that are expected to be driving the multifactor authentication market are increase in data breaches & cyber-attacks and growing adoption of bring-your-own-device (BYOD) among enterprises. The objective of the report is to define, describe, and forecast the multifactor authentication market size based on model, application, technology and region.
By model, the five-factor segment is expected to grow at the highest growth rate during the forecast period
Five-factor authentication is the most complicated and expensive type of authentication models. This model is used in applications that require high levels of security. Five authentication models can involve smart cards, PIN, and biometric technologies. This model provides a high level of security to top secret information, which is of high importance. This model has a good potential in the near future, as it is a good solution for government applications such as homeland security services, access to top secret national data/files, safeguarding data, and technology in national research centers. Although this model is very low in terms of shipments, it is one of the most powerful authentication models.
By application, the banking and finance segment holds the largest share of the market
Banking and finance application accounted for the largest share in the MFA market in 2016. The major factors for the growth of this market are increasing online traction and the growth of e-Commerce for which secure transactions are required. Many regulatory bodies have passed regulation for use of MFA technology in this application. For the security of banking and financial applications such as core banking, online banking, banking cards personalization systems, trade finance, international payments, foreign exchange, bank guarantee, and other banking and financial services, MFA plays an important role in the authentication resulting in the largest market share. On the other hand, healthcare application accounted for the highest growth rate in the MFA market due to the stringent government and industry regulations and requirement for highly secure infrastructure. This Industry is expected to rely more on MFA solution in the near future for protecting sensitive information.
The Americas to account for the largest market size during the forecast period.
The Americas is one of the largest markets for MFA. The Americas uses different MFA models from the most basic to the most advanced model. Countries such as the US and Canada use MFA in almost all the applications. Healthcare is the largest application in the US. At present, North America, which comprises the US and Canada, is one of the top users of MFA products at a global level.
As security issues have become vital in the government sector, local, regional, and national government organizations are deploying biometric systems owing to advantages such as high accuracy, convenience, and time efficiency. The need for solid security to tackle fraudulence, illegal immigration, and criminal activities has made it necessary for government enterprises to resort security solutions.
Market Dynamics
Driver: Growing adoption of bring-your-own-device (BYOD) among enterprises
Automotive The growing bring-your-own-device (BYOD) movement continues to draw authentication concerns for the enterprise security, which is dealing with the ways to seal the cracks that exist between employee authentication and enterprise security.
Companies can implement MFA to allow employees and consultants to use BYODs to access firm applications securely while saving on company-issued devices. For easy onboarding, firms can implement MFA to manage employee access on enterprise applications. In the context of providing high security, secure authentication and authorization of a user are as crucial as applying strong authentication techniques/methods to protect the user's personal information, where in the end, the security of the whole infrastructure is involved. Thus, the growing adoption of BYOD concept acts as a driving factor for the growth of MFA market.
Restraint: Increasing response time in higher order authentication models
The average time required to handle a single query for two-factor authentication systems is less, as compared to that of three-, four-, and five-factor authentication. Authentication system has to be simple and perfect, to implement it successfully. Authentication systems with multiple factors are being designed and prototyped with the advancement of technology, but this would increase the time required to handle a single query as it would involve multiple processes for the authentication of data or user. As a result, this would result in long queues and increase service/response time. The impact of this restraint is currently high but will reduce in the future because of the ease in access techniques.
Opportunity: Demand for MFA for data security in the cloud environment
The adoption of cloud is rapidly increasing among industries, giving rise to many security challenges for the cloud service providers and other ecosystem vendors, especially in dealing with the complexity of privacy and data protection regulations. To guarantee the security and safety of data on the cloud, the cloud service providers are adopting technologies such as tokenization, biometric authentication etc. by implementing various models of MFA which can provide authentication for the safety of data stored on the cloud. The demand for MFA for securing the data and information on the cloud environment is likely to provide huge opportunities to MFA solution providers and the cloud service providers.
Challenge: Uncertainty and pushback from end users
The general perception is that there has never been a serious security breach, which requires robust authentication methods. This ignorance results in the lesser adoption of MFA solutions for the authentication purpose, which acts as a major challenge in the MFA market. Small and mid-size organizations find it difficult to integrate the existing IT infrastructure with the MFA solution. Thus, the uncertainty and pushback from end users for the adoption of MFA solutions act as a major challenge for the MFA market.

The overall multifactor authentication market size has been used in the top-down procedure to estimate the size of individual markets (mentioned in the market segmentation based on model, and application) via percentage splits from secondary and primary research. For the calculation of each type of a specific market segment, the most appropriate parent market size has been used for implementing the top-down procedure. The bottom-up procedure has been implemented for the data extracted from the secondary research to validate the market size of concerned segments. Then, the market share of each company has been estimated to verify the revenue shares used earlier in the bottom-up procedure. With the data triangulation procedure and the validation of the data through primaries, exact values of the overall parent market size and each individual market size have been determined and confirmed in this study.
Data Triangulation
After arriving at the overall market size from the market size estimation process explained above, the total market has been split into several segments and subsegments. To complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all segments and subsegments, the market breakdown and data triangulation procedures have been employed, wherever applicable. The data have been triangulated by studying various factors and trends from both demand and supply sides. Along with this, the market has been validated using top-down and bottom-up approaches.
