The rising incidence of cyber threats is projected to drive the growth of the fast identity online (FIDO) authentication market in the coming years. Cyber threats encompass various dangers and risks posed by malicious activities aimed at compromising data through tactics targeting computer systems, networks, and digital information. FIDO authentication mitigates these threats by eliminating the need for passwords, offering robust authentication methods, and storing biometric data locally. This results in fast and secure logins, supported by cryptographic credentials that remain on the user's device. For instance, in November 2023, the Australian Signals Directorate, a federal agency, reported in its 2023 ASD Cyber Threat Report that nearly 94,000 cybercrime reports were received during the 2022-23 financial year, representing a 23% increase compared to the previous year. Thus, the surge in cyber threats is propelling the growth of the FIDO authentication market.

The increasing use of web and mobile applications is anticipated to drive the growth of the fast identity online (FIDO) authentication market in the future. Web applications are software programs that function within web browsers, while mobile applications are specifically designed for smartphones and tablets. FIDO authentication facilitates the adoption of these applications by offering secure, password-less access options that improve user convenience and enhance cybersecurity. For example, in August 2023, RipenApps Technologies, an India-based software company, reported that global consumer spending on mobile applications reached $129 billion in 2022. Additionally, mobile advertising experienced growth, reaching $336 billion, reflecting a 13.8% increase compared to the previous year. Therefore, the rising adoption of web and mobile applications is fueling the growth of the FIDO authentication market.

Major companies in the FIDO authentication market are concentrating on developing innovative technologies, including cloud-based authentication solutions, to offer reliable services to customers. Cloud-based authentication solutions utilize a cloud-based infrastructure to authenticate users securely. For example, AuthenTrend Technology Inc., a Taiwan-based fingerprint-enabled authenticator company, launched AT.AuthFi for FIDO authentication in March 2022. AT.AuthFi enhances security, resists phishing attacks, and supports password-less login and two-factor authentication. It provides a monthly billing cycle for usage and offers a fully manageable FIDO cloud server API and administration dashboard. These solutions simplify FIDO integration for administrators and enable secure, convenient password-less logins.

In April 2024, Entrust Corp., a US-based software company, acquired Onfido for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to enhance Entrust's FIDO-compliant identity authentication solutions by incorporating Onfido's advanced AI-powered identity verification technologies, which will improve secure, passwordless, and multi-factor authentication capabilities. Onfido is a UK-based technology company specializing in digital identity verification and authentication solutions.

Fast Identity Online (FIDO) authentication comprises open standards and specifications aimed at enhancing online security through a robust and user-friendly authentication method. This approach replaces traditional password-based authentication methods, which are often susceptible to security risks such as phishing attacks, credential theft, and password reuse.

The primary types of FIDO authentication include password authentication, biometric authentication, hardware token-based authentication, and others. Password authentication is a method of verifying a user's identity before granting access to a system. It involves FIDO authentication devices and FIDO authentication software development kits (SDKs) deployed in both cloud-based and on-premises modes. The organizations involved range from small and medium-sized enterprises to large enterprises, spanning sectors such as banking and finance, healthcare, government and defense, e-commerce, information technology, and telecommunications, among others.
