The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated digitalization and digital service delivery across the world, as well as in China. The pandemic highlighted the suitability of different work models for businesses, thereby adding to their popularity. The digital model has become increasingly popular among customers and businesses of all sizes. This sudden rise in digital activity led to a huge growth in Internet traffic in China, generating an unprecedented demand for multi-factor authentication to tackle security risks. Moreover, the rapid adoption of collaboration and network security tools during the pandemic resulted in the increased use of multi-factor authentication (MFA) to ensure protected access to resources. In China, the number of cyberattacks and their severity has surged in recent years. According to AAG, the country recorded 14.15 million account breaches from the Q2 to the Q3 of 2022. Such breaches underline the necessity of multi-factor authentication solutions in China.
Japan has been a major target for cybercriminals. According to AAG, the country experienced a 40% increase in cyber-attacks in May 2021 compared to previous months that year. Further, it reported 1.24 million account breaches in the Q2 and Q3 of 2022. According to VPNNippon, nearly 42% of internet users in Japan have experienced at least one form of cybercrime. Furthermore, Japanese police recorded 887 cases of suspected cybercrimes related to COVID-19 in 2020.

Based on authentication type, the multi-factor authentication market is bifurcated into password-based authentication and password less authentication. The password-based authentication segment is estimated to hold largest multi-factor authentication market share by 2031. Password authentication continues to play a crucial role in the multi-factor authentication market as one of the primary factors for user identity verification. While MFA solutions often incorporate additional factors such as biometrics, SMS codes, or hardware tokens, passwords remain a fundamental component due to their familiarity and ease of implementation across various systems and platforms. Additionally, password-based authentication can be augmented with other factors to enhance security and provide a layered defense against unauthorized access. As the MFA market evolves, there is a growing emphasis on combining multiple authentication factors seamlessly to balance security and user experience.
