The Advanced Authentication In The Financial Service market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for advanced authentication in the financial service sector is projected to experience substantial growth in the forthcoming years, escalating to $13.28 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.4%.
The projected growth during the forecast period can be credited to factors such as the broadening of open banking, the globalization of financial services, the consistent escalation of cyber threats, implementation of tokenization for payment security, a rise in digital transactions, and regulatory evolution. Notable trends during the forecast period encompass the adoption of biometric authentication, growth of multi-factor authentication (MFA), the embracing of risk-based authentication, efforts in securing customer identity verification, password-less authentication strategies, and the utilization of blockchain for identity management.
The burgeoning amount of non-cash payments or transactions is projected to drive the growth of sophisticated authentication in the financial services industry. The primary motivator for going cashless is the easy facilitation of financial operations. Consumers enjoy the smooth progression offered by digital payments extensively. Tools like encryption and biometric protection are integrated with the intention of making non-cash payments or transactions safer. As an example, a study from the National Informatics Centre, an Indian science and technology organization, stated in April 2023 that there was a 72% year-on-year growth in 2021, with over 1.49 billion transactions amounting to INR 5.6 trillion being processed in June 2021. By the end of 2022, the total transaction value of UPI had risen remarkably to INR 125.95 trillion (1.498 trillion USD), demonstrating a 1.75 times year-on-year increase. Remarkably, the total transaction value of UPI accounted for almost 86% of India's GDP in FY22. Consequently, the rise in the volume of non-cash payments is spurring the advancement of authentication in the financial service industry.
