Published

on

fraud-detection-&-prevention-market-to-reach-$2527-billion,-globally,-by-2032-at-24.3%-cagr:-allied-market-research

The introduction of big data analytics, cloud computing services, and an upsurge in mobile payment drive the growth of the market.

PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Allied Market Research published a report, titled, “Fraud Detection & Prevention Market by Component (Solution and Service), Deployment Mode (On-Premises and Cloud), Organization Size (Large Enterprises and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises) and Industry Vertical (BFSI, IT and Telecom, Retail, Healthcare, Government and Defense, Manufacturing, Transportation and Logistics and Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2023-2032″. According to the report, the “fraud detection & prevention market” was valued at $29.5 billion in 2022, and is projected to reach $252.7 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 24.3% from 2023 to 2032.

The introduction of big data analytics, cloud computing services, and an upsurge in mobile payment drive the growth of the market. In addition, the rise in the adoption of banking & financial sectors across the globe fuels the growth of the market. Moreover, continuous technological advancements are expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the growth of the market during the forecast period. On the contrary, the high cost of fraud detection and prevention solutions limits the growth of the fraud detection & prevention market.

Request Sample Pages: https://www.alliedmarketresearch.com/request-sample/2142

The solution segment held the highest market share in 2022. 

By component, the solution segment dominated the market in 2022, this dominance is driven by the increasing demand for advanced technological solutions that can effectively detect, monitor, and prevent fraudulent activities across various industries such as banking, e-commerce, and insurance. Solutions like AI-based fraud detection, machine learning algorithms, and behavioral analytics have become critical tools in identifying potential fraud in real time and reducing financial losses. However, the service segment is expected to witness the largest CAGR of 28.0%, this growth is driven by the increasing need for specialized services such as consulting, implementation, and maintenance to help organizations effectively integrate and optimize fraud detection solutions.

The BFSI segment held the highest market share in 2022.

By industry vertical, the BFSI segment accounted for the largest share in 2022. This is primarily due to the high frequency and sophistication of fraud targeting financial institutions, making fraud detection and prevention solutions a critical need in the BFSI sector. Financial transactions, online banking, and digital payments are particularly vulnerable to cyberattacks, phishing schemes, and identity theft, driving the sector’s substantial investment in advanced fraud detection technologies. However, the retail segment is expected to witness the largest CAGR of 32.7%. This anticipated growth is driven by several factors. Retailers are increasingly targeted by fraudsters due to the high volume of transactions and the sensitivity of customer data involved. As e-commerce and digital transactions expand, the need for advanced fraud detection and prevention solutions becomes more critical.
