Identity Verification Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:

Drivers

• Growing digitalization across the world

As a result of the prevalence of identity-related scams in the modern world, organizations are under pressure to implement strict security measures. Identity verification has become a crucial component in areas where verified identity is required, such as border controls and access to digital services, as a result of growing digitization across governments and corporate sectors globally. This will bolster the growth of the market in the upward direction.

• Increased concerns in regards to safety and security

The administration of the corporate security system will likely be significantly impacted by the rising complexity of security information platforms, IT-based tools, and solutions. Additionally, the worrisome rise in cyber security events has increased the demand for all firms to implement comprehensive security solutions

Furthermore, the factors such as rising urbanization, industrialization and growing number of end users globally have further contributed to the overall market expansion during the forecast period. Additionally, the evolution of the industrial internet of things (IIoT) and rising adoption of smart automation solutions are anticipated to drive the market's growth rate.

Opportunities

• Rising deployment of advanced technologies

Growing adoption of advanced technologies such as big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and machine learning will positively influence market growth.  Verification services like blockchain-based identity verification are actively addressing organizations' growing cyber risks and vulnerabilities, the adoption of Bring Your Own Devices (BYOD) in organisations, Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-money Laundering (AML), and identity verification in healthcare.

Restraints/Challenges

• High costs and investment

High deployment and maintenance costs of the technology will impede the growth rate. Also, rising overhead costs will narrow down the scope of growth. Maximum companies provide pricing per verification, and per month and yearly basis, in which a limited number of I.D. verification checks are included. Some vendors also provide flexible pricing per verification in some cases of an annual package. The challenge lies in this different price charged by the vendors of I.D. verification. The government's lack of standardization and regulations will yet again derail the market growth rate. 

• Lack of technical expertise

Dearth of expert knowledge and technical expertise especially in the developed and developing economies and lack of skilled professionals and awareness among management level individuals will create hurdles for the market in regards to the smooth growth in the market value. Further, lack of skilled professionals in combination with low experience quotient will yet again hamper the market growth rate.
