Market Overview

The global passive authentication market was worth USD 1620 million in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 10439 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 23% during the forecast period (2022-2030). 

Passive authentication is a procedure or method that uses behavioral patterns to verify a customer's or user's identification. Biometric, contextual, correlative authentication, and device identification, are among the most common behavioral authentication patterns. Multi-factor authentication is included in passive authentication to provide further protection and control and assist enterprises in removing the need for password-based security methods.

 Within the overall market expansion, factors such as increased demand for passive authentication solutions in various business sectors have emerged as a crucial component. Purilock, a Canadian provider of passive authentication services, provides advanced authentication solutions which improve the security factor while also making authentication considerably faster. Furthermore, the market has benefited from massive advantages in terms of user accessibility and time savings over the predicted period.

Market Dynamics

Drivers: Increase in Demand for Passive Authentication in Modern-Day Businesses

Passive authentication techniques have helped enterprises expand their reach in recent years by integrating new capabilities and providing new chances to their customers. One of them is the provision of easy-to-use authentication services. Purilock, a Canadian provider of passive authentication services, provides passive authentication to facilitate rapid authentication. The invisible MFA system from Plurilock ADAPT is a type of passive authentication that adds numerous more identity verification elements to existing login prompts. Alternatively, identification signals are captured as users enter their login and password, allowing for stronger identity authentication.

Furthermore, passive authentication services are now easier to implement due to the rapid progress of the personal digital electronics technology business, which has allowed users to carry a range of sensors and resources in their pockets. This simplifies and speeds up user authentication, which impacts the passive authentication market's growth. 

Drivers: Improvement of User Accessibility and Saving Time

By swiftly verifying known users and customers utilizing seamless data gathering and pattern recognition, passive authentication saves time for the company and its users. These instruments determine writing/typing patterns, walking habits, and other characteristics. For example, regardless of their typing, each person has distinct movement patterns. When these patterns are integrated with machine learning, a clear and precise identity signature for that person is created—sensors on smartphones, wearables, and PDAs track users' walking and movement patterns similarly.

These are then used to identify and authenticate the individual user, granting them seamless access to specific services like faster monetary transactions and quick sign-on. Therefore, the market is anticipated to experience steady growth due to enhanced accessibility and time-saving capabilities.

Restraint: Data Confidentiality and Trust Issues

There has been a rise in data privacy concerns among consumers in the past few years, owing to the rise in cyberattacks and data theft worldwide. This has increased the awareness about data privacy and thefts and raised concerns about the use of personal data. In addition, faster passive authentication methods are anticipated to necessitate tracking and storing various user data, such as their location, mouse movements, walking & running patterns, and others. These data collections can cause ordinary users to become concerned about their data usage.

According to a 2018 survey published by the global security firm RSA Security LLC., more than 49% of U.S. citizens have agreed that data breaches and their detection have become more accessible than in past years. Furthermore, 62% of these consumers say that the company is at fault for data breaches. As a result, companies are projected to concentrate on protecting user data, which can be done by reducing data collection and reliance on third parties. These factors limit the growth of the passive authentication market.

Future Growth Opportunities: 

  • Advancements in Passive Authentication Techniques

Recent advances in passive authentication technology have created numerous opportunities to grow the stagnant authentication market in the coming years. The capabilities of the passive authentication technologies have been extended by modern high-performance servers that allow for real-time processing and much faster response times that are essential for the users to have a seamless experience without the need to remember different login credentials for various services in a single platform or environment. Furthermore, the surge in popularity and advances in cloud computing solutions, the presence of the Internet of Things, sensor technology, and other similar technologies, as well as high versatility in passive techniques, foster the development of passive authentication technology, in turn boosting the market growth.
