The Market Reports

Synopsis

The global market for Decentralized Identity Systems was estimated to be worth US$ 911 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 44829 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 70.5% during the forecast period 2025-2031.

Decentralized identity is a secure, user-centric method for managing digital identities without relying on central authorities. This approach empowers individuals to control their own personal information and share it selectively with different service providers, enhancing privacy and security. By using blockchain and cryptography, decentralized identity removes the need for a single centralized entity to verify identity, reducing the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access.

Decentralized identity is an open-standard identity authentication solution that provides a secured platform for user verification.

The platform is widely operated on the basis of verifiable credentials of individuals with the help of a range of independent and transparent data exchange technology such as blockchain or other distributed ledger technology. In a digitalized platform, verifiable credential constitutes a key aspect of identity claims, and organizations issue these encrypted digital identity cards to secure identity data. Rapid incidences of cybersecurity problems and other fraudulent activities such as money laundering or bribery are quite common in the banking sector.

Rise in security breaches and increasing numbers of identity fraud and security breaches is boosting the growth of the global decentralized identity market. In addition, rise in applications of blockchain identity solutions in banks is positively impacts growth of the deception technology market. However, lack of technical expertise, and fluctuating regulatory status and a lack of rules is hampering the deception technology market growth. On the contrary, numerous uses for blockchain identity solutions, and increase in adoption of mobile device applications and platforms is expected to offer remunerative opportunities for expansion during the deception technology market forecast.

In terms of identity type, the biometric segment dominated the market in 2024 with a revenue share of more than 62%. Biometric identifiers, such as fingerprints, facial recognition, iris scans, and voice recognition, provide a high level of precision and security in authenticating an individual's identity. This type of identity verification offers a strong level of verification and is difficult to forge or replicate, making it highly reliable for forming trust in digital interactions. Biometric identity also offers convenience and ease of use for users. With biometric authentication, individuals can confirm their identity quickly and seamlessly by solely using their distinctive biological traits. This excludes the necessity for passwords or other traditional forms of authentication, which can be easily forgotten, stolen, or compromised.

Non-biometrics segment is anticipated to grow substantially over the forecast period. Growing demand for non-biometric identity among consumers owing to easy portability and convenience is expected to drive the segment's growth. Moreover, non-biometric authentication is typically used as a backup for biometric password-less security. Such factors are anticipated to contribute to segment growth over the forecast period.

In terms of vertical, the BFSI segment dominated the market in 2024 with a revenue share of over 36%. Banks are required to conduct KYC checks to confirm customers' identity and ensure they are not involved in any illegal activity, such as bribery or money laundering.

The telecom & IT segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR of 74% over the forecast period. With increasing digitization of communication and growing demand for secure and seamless identity verification, the telecom & IT segment is actively exploring decentralized identity solutions to enhance user experiences and ensure robust security. Telecom and IT companies often handle a vast amount of sensitive customer data, including personal information and authentication credentials. By adopting decentralized identity solutions, they can provide their customers with greater control and ownership over their identity information while also enhancing data privacy and protection.

In terms of region, North America dominated the market in 2024 with a revenue share of more than 39%. North America region has a varied range of industries and sectors that can benefit from decentralized identity solutions. These comprise financial services, healthcare, government, and e-commerce, among others. The need for secure and effectual identity authentication, data sharing, and user verification in these sectors has driven the adoption of decentralized identity technologies. In addition, it has a huge and tech-savvy population that is progressively more aware of the significance of data privacy and digital security, which is also accentuating the market growth in the region.

Asia Pacific is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR of 75% over the forecast period. The regional market's growth can be attributed to growing awareness of cybersecurity in nations such as India, China, and Japan. Aggressive efforts are being pursued by various organizations across the Asia Pacific to safeguard consumer identity, which is also expected to contribute to the regional market’s growth.

The global key companies of Decentralized Identity Systems include Microsoft, Avast, IBM, Ping Identity, Accenture, R3, 1Kosmos, InfoCert, Civic Technologies, Ontology, Spruce ID, Fractal ID, Validated ID, TrueVett (VeriME), Finema, Dock Labs, Nuggets, Affinidi, Metadium, Infopulse, Dragonchain, Serto, Datarella, Blockster Labs, etc. In 2024, the global five largest players hold a share approximately 34% in terms of revenue. Players operating in the market are aggressively involved in emerging standards, protocols, and frameworks to allow interoperability and seamless integration of decentralized identity systems. Market players are also dedicated to augmenting user privacy, data security, and user-centric control over personal information. With continuous improvements in blockchain technology and growing requirements for secure digital identity solutions, competition among these players is expected to intensify as they strive to capture an important share of a growing market.

While decentralized identity solutions offer numerous benefits, transitioning from traditional identity systems to decentralized models can be complex and require a significant shift in infrastructure and user behavior. In addition, different decentralized identity platforms may also use different standards and protocols, leading to interoperability issues between systems. To overcome this restraint, industry collaboration and the development of open standards are essential. Stakeholders, including technology providers, industry associations, and regulatory bodies, need to work in unison to establish common frameworks and interoperability standards for decentralized identity.
