by In an era of unprecedented digitalization, the global identity verification market is experiencing remarkable growth, fueled by a surge in fraudulent operations and identity theft cases. In todays world, where personal information can be easily manipulated, the need for robust identity verification solutions has never been greater. From fake documents to identity theft, individuals and businesses alike face mounting challenges in safeguarding sensitive data.
According to the Consumer Sentinel Network of the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC), identity theft accounted for a staggering 29.39% of all recorded cases in the United States in 2020, a testament to the growing threat. This alarming trend has propelled the demand for identity verification services to the forefront of combating fraud and ensuring data security.
Government Initiatives and Stringent Legislation Drive Market Expansion
Governments worldwide are taking proactive steps to combat identity theft and establish stringent rules for internet security. Initiatives like Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) are gaining traction, with the European Unions implementation of the fifth anti-money laundering directive (AML5) being a notable example. These efforts are creating a conducive environment for the growth of identity verification solutions.
In September 2020, LoginID Inc. and Ipsidy Inc. joined forces to develop advanced solutions for preventing online fraud. Their collaboration combines biometric identity verification with FIDO2 authentication and login services, promising heightened security and increased identity trust.
BFSI Sector at the Helm of Market Dominance
The Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) sector are spearheading the adoption of identity verification solutions. As the industry witnesses increased digitization of processes, such as digital onboarding and digital payments, the need for robust identity verification becomes paramount. Financial institutions are particularly vulnerable to cyber threats and data breaches, prompting them to seek innovative security solutions.
Stringent regulations like the Bank Secrecy Act, GDPR, and PSD2 further underscore the importance of identity verification in the BFSI sector. These factors are driving the global identity verification market, making BFSI the dominant category in the industry.
North America Takes the Lead, Asia Pacific Follows Closely
North America leads the charge in the global identity verification market, primarily due to its technological prowess and a high number of early adopters. The region is characterized by significant market players and government initiatives aimed at enhancing digital security. The United States, in particular, is at the forefront of identity verification adoption, with a strong focus on curbing cybercrime and identity theft.
Asia Pacific is not far behind, experiencing rapid growth in demand for identity theft prevention solutions. As countries like India and China embrace digitization, the risk of data breaches increases, necessitating robust identity verification measures.
Innovative Solutions and Collaborations Fuel Market Competitiveness
The competitive landscape of the identity verification market is marked by continuous innovation and strategic partnerships. Leading companies such as Experian, GBG, Equifax, and Mitek Systems are introducing cutting-edge products and forging collaborations to stay ahead in the market.
For instance, Experian recently launched Work Report, a digital verification solution allowing consumers to securely share their payroll information. GBG collaborated with CredoLab to assess the creditworthiness of Indonesian citizens using advanced digital and AI-driven risk management.
The global identity verification market is poised for exceptional growth as it continues to combat the growing threat of fraud and identity theft in an increasingly digital world. With stringent regulations and technological advancements, the market is set to evolve further, providing secure and reliable solutions for businesses and individuals alike.
