Decentralized Identity Market

Market Overview:

The global decentralized identity market size reached USD 1,153 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 89,628 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 62.2% during 2025-2033. The rising concerns for more control and ownership over personal data, increasing adoption of industrial applications based on blockchain identity, and the rapid digitalization represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Decentralized identity is a system where individuals have complete control over their personal information, stored in a secure and decentralized manner. Decentralized identity systems are based on blockchain technology and are designed to provide individuals with privacy, security, and control over their data. This data is stored on a decentralized network, making it more secure and resistant to data breaches and unauthorized access. Instead of relying on a centralized authority such as the government or a corporation to store and manage the identity data, individuals can work and share their data with the knowledge of where and how it is used. Decentralized identity thereby empowers the individuals to make informed decisions about their digital identity. Decentralized identity has numerous advantages over traditional centralized identity systems, such as eliminating data breach risks, preventing unauthorized access to sensitive information, and enhancing privacy and security.

Decentralized Identity Market Trends:

The rising concerns for more control and ownership over personal data among the individuals is a significant factor contributing to the market. This can be attributed to the growing amount of personal data being collected and stored by organizations resulting in an augmented need for protection of personal data. Also, the increasing volume of personal information being shared online, that is susceptible to cyberattacks and breaches when involving intermediaries is resulting in a higher uptake of decentralized identity systems. In line with this, the increasing adoption of industrial applications based on blockchain identity is also acting as a major growth-inducing factor. Moreover, rapid digitalization resulting in the widespread adoption of blockchain-based identity management in various end-use industries, including healthcare, consumer goods, manufacturing, and retail is furthering the market. The market is also fueled by the growing integration of blockchain technology in digital identity platforms to leverage the Know Your Customer (KYC) information on interbank ledgers to prevent duplicate KYC. Continual technological advancements in the applications of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and the internet of things (IoT) are further impacting the market positively. Apart from this, favorable government policies and funding initiatives supporting the adoption of decentralized identity systems are creating a positive outlook for the market. Additionally, the growing number of innovative business strategies, such as merger and acquisitions (M&As), and partnerships and collaborations conducted by the key players to enhance their geographical presence, is propelling the market.
