The market for identity verification is expected to grow over the forecast period due to some imperative factors, such as the adoption of solutions through stringent regulations and the need for compliance and adoption of BYOD trends in enterprises. The market sizing estimates reflect the revenue generated by the market vendors by offering identity verification solutions to various end-users such as financial services, retail and e-commerce, gaming/gambling, government, and other end-users to prevent attack risks.

Key Highlights

  • In line with the stringent regulations brought by the government, the vendors are also launching new solutions in compliance with the guidelines. The need for companies to align with region-specific KYC laws and prevent account takeovers has fueled the introduction of new solutions driving the studied market.

  • The trend of adopting your own devices (BYOD) in enterprises is a strong driver for the identity verification market, which is expected to have a significant impact in the long term. In the current mobile world, employees want the freedom to work from anywhere using their mobile phones, tablets, laptops, or wearables. Organizations are adopting BYOD programs to make it happen.
  • Due to budget restraints, SMBs typically have limited access to bank-grade technology and security solutions, making them an easy target for cybercriminals. Small businesses are less keen on extracting resources elsewhere to fit the comprehensive cybersecurity bill.
  • The broader acceptance of digital payment methods has significantly improved post the COVID-19 pandemic and is expected to play a more substantial role in the long term. With cash being seen as a potential carrier for the virus, governments and regulatory bodies discourage its use. There has been a sudden push toward digital transformation during the pandemic, with online marketplaces adopting digital transformation programs to serve customers and maintain operations.

Financial Services to Witness Major Growth
