According to a new report, published by KBV research, The Global Digital Security Control Market size is expected to reach $31.81 billion by 2032, rising at a market growth of 9.4% CAGR during the forecast period.
The global digital security control market has developed rapidly over the past two decades, shaped by the acceleration of digitalization, the rise of connected devices, and the growing importance of data protection. Initially, digital security solutions were largely focused on securing IT networks and protecting sensitive government or corporate data from unauthorized access. Early adoption was concentrated in defense, finance, and large enterprises where the stakes of data breaches were most significant.
The Biometric Technologies segment captured the maximum revenue in the Global Digital Security Control Market by Hardware in 2024, thereby, achieving a market value of $10.0 billion by 2032. The strong adoption of biometrics worldwide is driven by their growing integration across smartphones, laptops, banking platforms, and government identity programs. Countries such as India, with its Aadhaar biometric system, the U.S. with widespread use of facial recognition in airports, and European nations implementing biometric e-passports, have accelerated global adoption.
The User Authentication segment is experiencing a CAGR of 8.8 % during the forecast period. This leadership reflects the central role of identity verification in securing digital transactions, online services, and enterprise systems worldwide. The surge in cybercrime, identity theft, and account takeover incidents has made multi-factor authentication (MFA), biometric login systems, and identity access management (IAM) platforms indispensable across industries.
The Finance & Banking segment led the maximum revenue in the Global Digital Security Control Market by End-use in 2024, thereby, achieving a market value of $9.3 billion by 2032. The sector’s leadership is attributed to the rapid growth of digital banking, mobile payments, and fintech platforms worldwide, which require robust security frameworks to combat fraud and cyberattacks. Financial regulators across regions—such as PSD2 in Europe, PCI DSS in North America, and emerging digital banking guidelines in Asia–Pacific—have mandated strong customer authentication (SCA), driving the widespread adoption of encryption, fraud detection, and multi-factor authentication systems.
The Two-Factor Authentication segment is growing at a CAGR of 9 % during the forecast period. Banks, e-commerce platforms, and government agencies have adopted 2FA as a baseline requirement to safeguard against credential theft, phishing, and fraud. Common implementations such as SMS one-time passwords (OTPs), push notifications, and biometric verification have become integral to digital ecosystems, particularly as mobile-first services expand globally. Regulatory mandates like PSD2 in Europe and PCI DSS in North America have further fueled adoption, making 2FA the most widely deployed authentication technology worldwide.
The North America region dominated the Global Digital Security Control Market by Region in 2024, and would continue to be a dominant market till 2032; thereby, achieving a market value of $10.3 billion by 2032. The Europe region is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 9.2% during (2025 - 2032). Additionally, The Asia Pacific region would witness a CAGR of 10% during (2025 - 2032).
