The digital identity industry is experiencing rapid growth, with four times as many solution providers today than just a few years ago. The increasing demand among businesses and consumers for more secure and convenient digital interactions drives this exponential growth. The rise of digital transactions has been a significant driving factor for innovative capabilities and solutions emerging in the digital identity space.
According to Statista, the projected transaction value of US digital payments in 2023 is $2 billion, indicating a shift toward a cashless society. As digital transactions become the norm, privacy concerns are also rising, driving the need for more secure and reliable identity solutions. In our recent survey, consumers are also demanding more autonomy over their digital identity, with around 73% supporting the idea of having control over their data privacy.
