Identity and Access Management Market Dynamics

Driver

Rapid adoption of cloud-based services

The increasing adoption of cloud-based solutions is projected to boost the expansion of the identity and access management market in the coming years. The massive shift towards cloud-delivered IAM and PAM solutions is increasingly becoming popular. Cloud-based solutions have positively impacted digital transformation in several organizations, including BFSI, manufacturing, healthcare, retail, healthcare, IT & Telecom, and others. These solutions provide flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness, which makes them gain popularity among businesses to improve their security posture within a cloud-centric environment. Thus, it is expected to fuel the market’s growth during the forecast period.

  • In February 2023, Procyon, the industry's first Privilege Access Management platform built for multi-cloud environments, announced a $6.5 million equity financing to help organizations harness the growing identity and access management sprawl in cloud environments. The new investment was led by Lobby Capital with participation from GTM Capital and First Rays Venture Partners.
  • In October 2023, ManageEngine, the enterprise IT management division of Zoho Corporation, announced the launch of Identity360, its cloud-native identity management platform that addresses identity and access management (IAM) complexities arising within enterprise workforces. ManageEngine also announced the addition of access certification and identity risk assessment functions to ADManager Plus, its on-premises identity governance and administration (IGA) solution.

Restraint

High costs

The high cost associated with the identity and access management market is anticipated to hamper the market's growth. High capital investment is required for the installation of the IAM system. Identity and access management solutions require expensive IT infrastructure investment to operate effectively. Several small and medium-sized companies are often discouraged from adopting these technologies due to budget constraints. In addition, the need for IT infrastructure and awareness regarding advanced security solutions in lower and middle-income countries is likely to limit the expansion of the global market.

Opportunity

Surge in cybersecurity cases

The rise in cybersecurity cases is expected to boost the growth of the identity and access management market during the forecast period. The market has witnessed a substantial surge in cyberattacks, which has compelled companies to invest in sophisticated IAM systems for data security and controlled access. Cyberattack escalation is attributed to modern technologies, including machine learning, which often enable attackers or hackers to generate multiple variants of malicious code daily. Safeguarding businesses against cyber threats has become a necessity, which has prompted businesses to use IAM solutions.

In today’s IT environment, IAM plays an integral role in efficiently authorizing geographically dispersed workforces as they are connected to various internal resources, cloud resources, and especially software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications. IAM assists businesses in managing digital identities and controlling access to resources within their networks. This has greatly accelerated the usage of IAM systems in different sectors, bolstering the identity and access management market growth.

  • In May 2023, BT (British Telecommunications), the London-based telecom carrier, launched a privileged identity-managed security service purpose-built on CyberArk’s identity security platform.

Component Insights

The provisioning segment held the largest share of the identity and access management market in 2023. Identity management as a service offers an additional layer of security by verifying and offering access to individuals to a secured company's systems and applications. Companies are aggressively seeking to adopt cloud-based solutions that manage security and risk management and manage remote working.

The multifactor authentication segment is expected to grow rapidly in the identity and access management market over the forecast period. The growth of the segment is driven by the rising adoption of multifactor authentication in several businesses to enhance overall security. The sub-segment adds an additional layer of security, and users are required to provide multiple credentials and a user ID to access a wide range of the company’s applications. Therefore, considering these factors, the deployment of the market contributes to the growth of the market.

Deployment Insights

The cloud segment accounted for the dominating share of the identity and access management market in 2023 and is projected to continue its dominance over the forecast period owing to the efficient functionality of the system without requiring an external network connection and access through WAN. In the era of the evolving digital landscape, the cases of data breaches and cyber threats are increasing. Businesses prioritize securing access to the company’s resources and protecting sensitive information. Identity and access management (IAM) on-premise is the implementation of solutions within an organization's infrastructure. It involves the deployment of software, hardware, and servers on-site to manage the unique identities of users, authentication, and access privileges for establishing effective security measures.

The on-premise segment is expected to witness considerable growth in the global identity and access management market over the forecast period. IAM solutions in the cloud involve leveraging cloud-based services to manage user identities, access controls, and authentication. Cloud deployment is when resources such as software, servers, and data are accessed as services delivered over the internet. Cloud-based IAM solutions assist in eliminating the requirement for upfront infrastructure investments and reduce hardware and maintenance costs. Businesses pay for the resources and services they use. Therefore, the increasing adoption of cloud-based solutions accelerates the segment growth.

Cloud-based technology allows firms to back up critical company data for a longer period.  IT workers are now mostly working in a multi-cloud environment, with nearly 1 out of every ten firms employing five or more clouds.
