The increasing need to minimize fraud losses and maintain revenues from genuine transactions is propelling the growth of the fraud detection and prevention market. The advent of advanced technologies, such as big data, data analytics, predictive modeling, deep learning, cloud computing, machine language, and AI, is proliferating the market growth. The growing number of online & mobile banking services coupled with the increasing number of real-time transactions is supporting the market growth.

The burgeoning e-commerce sector coupled with the growing use of digital payment methods is helping fraudsters to target certain loopholes and commit frauds. 
 

The enterprises present in the U.S. and Canada are facing cybercrimes such as email hacking, account stealing, credit card identity theft, ransomware, DDoS attacks, and phishing, resulting in monetary losses for enterprises. For instance, in February 2018, according to the White House Council of Economic Advisers, the U.S. economy lost between USD 57 million to USD 109 million in 2016 due to malicious cyber activities. As a result, enterprises in the region are growingly adopting FDP solutions to mitigate monetary losses, resulting in market growth. Gains due to a decrease in card-present frauds are anticipated to be completely overshadowed by the rise in loss related to card-not-present (CNP) frauds due to the implementation of EMV chip technology in the country. For instance, in 2018, CNP fraud losses in the U.S. are forecast to be double from more than USD 3 million in 2015 to USD 6.2 million in 2018.
 

Fraud Detection and Prevention (FDP) Market, By Type

The external fraud held more than 60% FDP market share in 2018 and is estimated to maintain its dominance over the forecast timeline due to the growing credit/debit card frauds, identity theft, cheque frauds, frauds from external vendors & contractors (exaggerated/fake bills, rigging of bids), data breaches & theft of intellectual property, tax frauds, bankruptcy frauds, fake insurance claims, unsecured loans, and traditional frauds such as bribing, theft, and shoplifting. The absence of fraud assessment departments across enterprises is supporting the increase in external frauds. For instance, according to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) report 2018, 84% of small businesses and 51% of large businesses do not have any formal fraud assessments, making them highly vulnerable to external frauds.
 

 Fraud Detection and Prevention Market, By Component

Fraud analytics is estimated to register more than 24% of CAGR over the forecast timeline due to the growing demand among end-use to detect fraud at the earliest. Fraud analytics provides a significant edge over traditional methods for fraud detection. The identification of patterns and trends can combat new fraud techniques, which traditional methods usually miss. Predictive models in fraud analytics can predict rare events, which are low in occurrence but significant in impact such as stock market frauds. Time-sensitive fraud cases such as credit card frauds can be very quickly detected & losses can be minimized in comparison to traditional methods where automated processing is not possible.
 

By Application

Identity theft held over 10% of the fraud detection and prevention (FDP) market share in 2018. Fraud detection and prevention are difficult in case of identity theft cases due to the lack of awareness on the part of a victim and also due to the delayed nature of its impact. Most identity thefts are only realized by victims months later, by the time most of the damage has been already done. Customer awareness is the most important step that can be taken to avoid such cases. It includes stealing or obtaining someone’s personal information without their permission to commit fraudulent activities. This involves using stolen or forged identity documents to gain access to bank accounts, credit card/debit card PIN, and payment app login information.

FDP Market, By End-Use
