Global Decentralized Identity Market

Preface Increasing competitive advantages such as high accuracy and enhanced reliability, over the traditional centralized and federated identity management are expected to aid the users in significantly leveraging the benefits of the decentralization in identity management. The level of control and authority these self-sovereign decentralized identities provide to an individual, is resulting in a growth of consumer confidence to shift toward digitization. Moreover, the increasing data breaches and a surging demand for connected IoT devices is leading to a rise in the requirement for decentralized identity among consumers.

The decentralized identity market research study offers a wide perspective on the analysis of the identity ecosystem. The research is based on extensive primary interviews (in-house experts, industry leaders, and market players) and secondary research (a host of paid and unpaid databases), along with the analytical tools, that have been used to build the forecast and the predictive models.

This study was designed to answer some of the most crucial questions of the global decentralized identity market: ▪

What are the current use cases in the decentralized identity market?

▪

What are the key technological trends which are aiding the decentralized identity market growth globally?

▪

What is the supply chain pattern and how are the different players linked in the same?

▪

Which factors are expected to further support the usage of decentralized identity in various application areas?

▪

What are the key strategic initiatives which the companies undertook in the decentralized identity market?

▪

How are the companies monetizing by adopting decentralized identity in their portfolio?
