Identity As A Service Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By End Use (Public Sector, BFSI), By Component Type (Single Sign-on, Multifactor Authentication), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2020 - 2027

Report Overview

The global Identity as a Service market size was valued at USD 3.34 billion in 2019 and is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate(CAGR) of 22.0% from 2020 to 2027. Increasing demand for cloud-based security services and solutions owing to the concerns pertaining to data security is anticipated to boost the adoption of Identity as a Service (IDaaS) solutions. Organizations are required to provide access to the employees working remotely while maintaining security compliance and thus need identity and access solutions. Strict regulatory mandates and data protection laws are fuelling the demand for IDaaS solutions. Stringent global regulations and compliance pertaining to identity theft, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), are forcing the organizations to take extra measures in protecting user accounts of the internal workforce, contractors, and end users. The end-to-end identity and access management functionality would be required to ensure robust security against the rising risks associated with the adoption of cloud services.

The rising popularity of the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend in most Telecom and IT companies will also support market growth. The IT divisions of businesses are battling to protect their organization’s informational assets with external devices entering the company’s network. Moreover, the infiltration of multi-cloud computing systems in the modern organizational ecosystem, especially in telecommunication and IT companies are growing significantly. The growing adoption of such multi-cloud computing systems is articulating the need for much more effective identity management services for protecting their public cloud infrastructures.

The as-a-service model in the Identity as a Service solutions means some features are being delivered to other organizations through a third-party remote connection. It is opposite to a function being managed on-premises and by in house personnel. The main goal of IDaaS is to provide the right kinds of access to files, software applications, or other resources at an appropriate time to authorized personnel. The IDaaS is much easier to execute as a centralized cloud-based system designed by identity specialists.

Many governments and banking organizations are currently promoting digital payments to decrease their operating costs and for improved transaction visibility. Thus, the incorporation of digitalized payment systems in banking and government services is expected to boost the demand for identity-as-a-service in the near future. Moreover, rising spending on security solutions by government agencies and corporate enterprises to stand by regulatory compliance and restrain identity theft is expected to boost the growth.

The world economy has been taken aback by the rate at which the COVID 19 crisis has escalated. The pandemic has affected the public health economy and the social well-being of people around the world. In such circumstances, the increasing trend of working remotely can be witnessed in countries where the government authorities have imposed the lockdown. To safeguard the critical organizational data, the enterprises would enhance the identity and access management framework by adding up a more comprehensive security layer in data protection and prevention of identity and data thefts. Single Sign-On (SSO) to cloud applications would be undertaken by the organizations that encourage their employees to work remotely.
