The increasing frequency of identity theft is anticipated to drive the growth of the signature verification market. Identity theft involves the unauthorized acquisition of personal information, such as social security numbers or credit card details, to perpetrate fraud or other criminal activities. This rise in identity theft can be linked to factors such as cybercrime, data breaches, sophisticated AI-driven scams, synthetic identity fraud, and the targeting of vulnerable groups. Signature verification plays a crucial role in mitigating identity theft by ensuring that signatures on documents match those of authorized individuals, thereby making it more difficult for fraudsters to forge identities. For example, in August 2024, Twenty-four IT Services, a UK-based IT services firm, reported that UK residents received over 208 million scam emails and there were more than 69,000 reported cases of identity theft across the country. Additionally, in May 2024, the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported an increase in card fraud in Australia from 8.1% in 2022 to 8.7% in 2023, affecting 1.8 million people. Consequently, the growing incidence of identity theft is driving demand for signature verification solutions.

Leading companies in the signature verification market are focusing on developing advanced solutions that seamlessly integrate ID verification with digital signatures to enhance the security of high-value transactions.
