Global Scenario

Identity Management System: The total value of the global market for blockchain
digital identity management in 2018 was estimated to be around $107 million.
However, the market is expected to showcase formidable growth at a rate of 79.2%
over the period from 2019 to 2026. In fact, if we take a shorter time span till 2023, it
is expected to grow to USD 1,929.9 million, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate
(CAGR) of 84.5% during the forecast period.

Continuing like this, the worldwide market for blockchain identity management can
reach around $11.46 billion by the end of 2026. Another notable blockchain identity
management market trend reflects the dominance of North America in the overall
market for blockchain identity.

Identity and Access Management System: The identity and access management
market is projected to grow from USD 13.41 billion in 2021 to USD 34.52 billion in
2028 at a CAGR of 14.5 %.

North America dominated the overall blockchain identity management market share
in 2018 and is expected to remain dominant during the forecast period due to the
presence of major market players and ongoing developments in blockchain
technology. In addition, the rise in data security concerns among retailers is also the
key factor that is expected to fuel the blockchain identity management market
growth in this region in upcoming years.

Furthermore, Asia-Pacific is expected to exhibit the highest growth rate during the
forecast period.

The blockchain identity management market is driven by various factors, such as the
increasing demand for self-sovereign identification and rising security
concerns with existing models across the globe. However, the lack of a common set
of regulatory standards an uncertain regulatory landscape, and concerns regarding
the authenticity of the users could hinder the growth of the market.

COVID-19 Impact

The outbreak of Covid-19 mandated lockdown across the globe and the
disruption has led to an acceleration in the practice of remote working.
Consequently, there’s been a significant decline in the use of blockchain
identity management technology in industries such as banks, healthcare, retail,
and others.

Nevertheless, several government bodies are coming up with relaxations on


the existing regulations and with this drift on board, it’s expected that the
global blockchain identity management market is anticipated to retrieve its
position soon.

Recent studies indicate that personally, identifiable information was one of the
targets in almost 97% of breaches in 2018. Furthermore, the improved
enterprise efforts and regulatory legislation for increasing cybersecurity resulted in
the exposure of 2.8 billion consumer data records.

Segment-wise Market view by Industry

BSFI (Banking, financial services and insurance) is obviously the leader today and will be
the leader in this market and it is expected to reach a revenue of 3 billion dollars by
2026.

But one entry that might seem surprising is healthcare but due to rising digitization
across healthcare like telemedicine, EMR, e-health applications create a large number of
identities and to secure these identities which contain patient sensitive data it is going to
fuel the demand for Blockchain-based IMS in the future.

Segment-wise Market view by Region

North America:

North America is expected to dominate the market share in 2022. The growth in this
region is going to the adoption of remote work cloud technology and increasing cyber-
attacks. The market growth is driven by the presence of key companies such as Amazon
Web services akamai technologies HP development Microsoft corporation Oracle
corporation IBM corporation and others.

As of 2020 North America Identity and Access Management, market size is 4.55 billion
USD.

Europe:
Europe Identity and Access Management (IAM) Market value in 2017 was projected to be
over 2 billion and is anticipated to reach over USD 4 billion growing at a CAGR of
over 10% over the forecast timespan.

The major factors contributing to the growth of the IAM market in Europe include
stringent government regulations such as the GDPR for imposing an improved safety of
customers’ data. The growing popularity of BYOD and mobility trends have resulted in an
enhanced demand for end-user device authentication, augmenting the market growth.
As IAM solutions assist in aligning security policies and rules with business drivers, their
demand is rising rapidly in the European market.

Trends Analysis

Usage of Passwords Manager

The Password Management Market was valued at USD 1,246.9 million in 2020 and
is expected to reach USD 3,071 million by 2026, at a CAGR of 15.87% over the
forecast period 2021 – 2026

Growth in the number of mobile and computer users is augmenting the demand
for password management which comes with the accounts created on various
internet-based service providers, from media and entertainment to food ordering
services.

One in five Americans currently uses a password manager. This equates to an


estimated 45 million people.

According to a survey conducted by LocalCircles more than one-third of Indians


store their confidential information like Bank Account details, Aadhar/PAN on
their mobile, computers in their contact list.

The main reason for the slow growth of the password management market in
India is that majority of the population doesn’t believe that password managers
are secure

Data Breaches

There has been a 4-fold rise in data theft in a year, i.e from 2020 to 2021 as
a result of which 86.6 mn Indian users had personal info stolen.

Data analysis shows that the five countries with the largest number of data
breaches were the US, Iran, India, Russia, and France. Breaches in these five
countries accounted for over half of all the leaks in 2021.

95% of breached records came from three industries in 2016: Government,


retail, and technology.

India ranks second after the US for hacking attempts in the world, according to
the report by Akamai Technologies.

The report has mentioned that in 2018 over 120 crore attempts were made
to hack financial institutes in the country

Benefits of DIDs

OWNERSHIP
A user should be able to revoke access to trusted third parties, and have
proof that it must be deleted from their servers.

PORTABILITY & RECOVERY


With SSI, all of our documents can be digital, allowing for storage and
management within a single digital wallet

SCALABILITY
Using international standards and protocols solutions can be replicated
across countries. Decentralized ledgers can be joined from anywhere in
the world because the internet and digital wallets are available on any
smartphone.

COMPLETE CONTROL
A user should be able to fully own it’s personal digital identity and only
he/she should be able to monetize their own data.

SECURITY
Digital wallets are able to meet the maximum standards of security.
With different layers of identification, authentication, and authorization

PSEUDONYMITY
SSI protocols allow selective disclosure of information and zero-
knowledge proofs.

Advantages of SSI

According to a report by Trinsic, SSI market from ~a few hundred to ~56,115


(verifiable credentials in production) production verifiable credentials in only 10
months (January -October 2020)is a strong signal of a market that is growing.

Governments around the world are exploring the potential of SSI. The Canadian
province of British Columbia has developed a platform called Verified Organization
Network (VON) to allow organizations to manage their verified claims. Likewise, the
US’s Department of Homeland Security’s Science and Technology Directorate has
invested in the development of SSI standards. Finally, Australia’s post office and
Digital Transformation Office have explored blockchain-based identity
management systems

While it's impossible to know the current state of SSI adoption precisely, but
according to some research leads me to believe we're somewhere in the
highlighted area. We've come a long way, but there's still a long way to go.

SSI is most valuable when it’s widely adopted. SSI benefits greatly from a network
effect that forms as adoption grows. The immediate business value of SSI at a given
point in time is an exponential function of the state of adoption.

Google and Facebook sign-ins

Signing in using your Google or Facebook accounts into various websites saves
you a lot of work as you don’t have to create yet another account, but is it
secure? These are the issues faced while doing sign-in via Google &
Facebook:-

1) Requesting your Data:

Logging in to a website using a service such as Facebook or Google allows the


website to make a request for data about you. The exact data that the website
is requesting pops up in a window asking for permission. Saying yes to that
request adds one more tiny bridge between the virtual islands of your online
self. This seemingly small agreement can carry larger repercussions. Linking
two or more sites allows companies to collect more data, building an
increasingly rounded profile about you. Allowing one account to have access
to others means that if the least secure account is hacked, the rest could also
be compromised.

2) What happens to your Data:

The data held by social platforms and service providers like Google covers
your habits and preferences. Facebook Like buttons littered throughout the
Internet bounce back data about products or articles you've liked, while the
Facebook Open Graph platform for other sites comes with plug-ins that collect
data such as which of your friends already use a particular website or what
you do while on the site.

Google tracks your online habits through search queries, its Chrome browser
and more, building demographic profiles it then sells to companies who want
to buy advertising on Google products, from Gmail sidebar ads to sponsored
search results.

The more data ecosystems that are connected, the more a company can know
about us and the more we continue to be their product, helping to maximize
their profits.
