The global advanced authentication market size reached USD 18.3 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, the market is expected to reach USD 48.2 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 11.33% during 2025-2033. The growing utilization of online payment gateways, rising occurrence of cyber security breaches, and increasing adoption of remote working models represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Advanced authentication refers to the authentication strategy that relies on real-world identity signals adaptively to present significantly stronger identity verification. It includes software tokens, hardware tokens, and biometric systems, which are used in conjunction with traditional methods of verifying identity, such as names and passwords. It is configured through a database or an application server that emphasizes providing protection to organizations and business units from a wide range of security breaches and threats, such as hacking, identity theft, and online fraud. It grants the authorization or permission to access a particular virtual or physical space to an individual after verifying a set of specific factors. It evaluates a wide array of verification factors, which are either possession, knowledge, or inherence-based variables like fingerprint, personal identification number (PIN), retinal scan, passwords, security questions, and one-time password (OTP). Furthermore, it enables account managers to define rules or policies to control the access of users from different domains.
