Digital Identity Solutions Market Dynamics
Driver: Rise in ID wallet solutions
A serious push to digital identification schemes worldwide are given by new ID wallet solutions. This recent technology defines a secure mobile app to store digitalized and encrypted versions of ID documents, be it an identity, a driver's license, vehicle card registration, healthcare credentials etc. In other words, citizens can have all their ID credentials at hand in a single, secure source for identification and ID verification services. The holder can share what is necessary to verify a transaction and nothing more with these wallets. Citizens are able to prove their identity and rights online and in-person to law enforcement officers, health professionals, or citizens with such wallets. Recently in June 2021, the European Commission has suggested creating a digital ID wallet that can be used across the EU by more than 80% of the EU population by 2030.
Restrain: Higher cost involved in deploying digital identity solutions
The increase in threat of cyberattacks and identity-related frauds and thefts is a matter of concern among organizations across all verticals in recent times. Digital identity solutions for identification and authentication to manage these security concerns have been adopted by many organizations; however, one of the factors hindering the growth of the digital identity solutions market is the high cost associated with implementing such solutions. The initial investments and costs associated with implementing digital identity solutions are high. The inadequate budget continues to be a crucial challenge for professionals to effectively carry out IT security operations. Due to which SMEs tend to focus on security only after a breach has occurred. Enterprises prioritize the security of only critical servers and do not pay much attention to the data stored in databases, which becomes vulnerable to cyber threats.
Opportunity: Integration of AI, ML, and Blockchain technologies to enhance digital identities
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and blockchain technologies is a trending concept. Designed computerized systems are replacing human efforts and minimizing potential risks. These technologies automate analytical model building and enable computers to find hidden insights without being explicitly programmed. That’s why these technologies are opening up various digital identity solution market opportunities. Digital identity solution vendors can apply ML-based analytics to large volumes of identity-related data and access activities. This helps reduce the identity attack surface by accurately measuring and reporting on a user, account, application, department, and organizational risk posture. It also exposes anomalous access and helps in the implementation of risk-based access certifications, which helps in identification and authentication processes. Sectors such as automobile, BFSI, and the government have started implementing these technologies. It also helps organizations plan corrective measures and strategic steps. Hence, leveraging technologies such as AI and ML is expected to open many growth avenues for digital identity solutions vendors. Blockchain technology is evolving in every sector. Decentralized Identity solutions are provided with the help of blockchain technology. It is also referred to as self-sovereign identity. It is an open-standards based identity framework that uses digital identifiers and verifiable credentials that are self-owned, independent, and enable trusted data exchange.
Challenge: Threat of privacy and data breach
In the case of using digital identities, such as facial recognition, people feel uncomfortable sharing their facial data with the fear of data being misused. San Francisco became the first city to ban the use of facial recognition completely in government and federal-related operations. The countries in Latin America and Africa are especially facing this challenge. The digital identity data is stored in databases for providing access to people every time they enter somewhere. These databases contain information on citizens, such as social security numbers and bank account details. Hence, the citizens are afraid that by providing access to digital identities, this personal data could be breached, compromised, and misused, which could result in potential harm to the citizens. Hence, this reluctance of citizens toward enabling the use of digital identities is another challenge in the implementation of digital identity solutions. The governments and enterprises should engage with end users more actively and make them aware of the use of digital identities by the government and its advantages. Once people gain confidence related to the security of their digital identities, they will be ready to adopt digital identity solutions more easily.
By region, Asia Pacific to grow at highest CAGR during the forecast period
Asia Pacific includes big developing economies, such as Australia, China, Japan, India, Singapore, and South Korea. With the increase in technological innovations, the digital identity solutions market is witnessing high growth opportunities in this region. Asia Pacific has a mix of developing and developed countries. In 2019, Asia lost USD 260 million to digital fraud. including 71% of online fraud from identity theft. That’s why developing countries such as India, China, and Japan, are using digital identities for authenticating their citizens, whereas developed countries, such as South Korea, use digital identities for more advanced applications, such as accessing government service and identification. Australia, a developed country, announced its federated digital identity system for citizens to access government services. Singapore is leading Asia Pacific in terms of advancements in digital identity. The country has its SingPass and CorpPass programs to provide improved security to its citizens as well as to access government services. Singapore is also planning to deploy a digital identity-based real-time payment authentication system in the near future.
