Segment Analysis

The global digital identity market has been segmented based on offering, solution type, identity type, organization size, and vertical.

On the basis of offering, the market is segmented into solutions and services. The solutions segment dominated the market in 2022. Cyberthreats are more prevalent and sophisticated than ever. Hackers target private data, exploit holes in established authentication protocols, and constantly refine their tactics.

Based on solution type, the global digital identity market has been segmented into identity verification, authentication, identity lifecycle management and other solution types. The identity verification segment dominated the market in 2022. The main motivation for identity verification systems is regulatory compliance. Governments all across the world have enacted stringent data privacy laws, such as the GDPR in Europe and KYC (Know Your Customer) norms in the financial industry.

Based on identity type, the global digital identity market has been segmented into biometric and non- biometric. The biometric segment dominated the market in 2022. As a result of the COVID-19 epidemic, worries regarding sanitation and the safety of shared touch surfaces have risen.

Based on organization size, the global digital identity market has been segmented into large organization and SMEs. The SMEs segment dominated the market in 2022.
