Identity Verification And Authentication Market Growth Momentum: Which Factors Are Influencing Demand?
The increasing number of identity theft cases and cyberattacks is projected to drive the future growth of the identity verification and authentication market. These incidents entail the unauthorized acquisition and misuse of personal information, as well as malicious activities targeting computer systems and networks. The significant rise in identity theft and cyberattacks is attributed to the escalating reliance on digital platforms, which widens the attack surface for hackers and cybercriminals, making sensitive personal and financial data more susceptible to exploitation. Identity verification and authentication aid in preventing such theft and attacks by ensuring that only authorized users can access sensitive systems and data, thereby reducing the risk of unauthorized access and fraudulent activities. For instance, in February 2024, according to a report from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), a US-based consumer protection agency, in 2023, reported fraud losses exceeded $10 billion for the first time, representing a 14% rise compared to losses reported in 2022. Therefore, the rapid rise in identity theft cases and cyberattacks is driving the growth of the identity verification and authentication market.
