The global identity and access management-as-a-service market was valued at USD 1.25 billion in 2017. Increasing adoption of ‘Bring Your Own Device’ (BYOD) policies in enterprises is driving the identity and access management market.

Identity and access management as-a-service (IDaaS or IAMaaS) creates and controls access level for individual users over the cloud. It builds on the basic idea of software-as-a-service (SaaS) which started over the past decade. SaaS allows for seamless streaming of services over the cloud rather than providing as licensed software packages available as CDs and boxes. Global vendors are offering numerous cloud-based products such as software-as-a-service (SaaS), platform-as-a-service (PaaS), infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and communication as a service (CaaS).

Cloud based IAM assists companies to set up customized security architecture for an IT department. The primary purpose is that a third-party service provider can set up user identities and determine what users can do in a system. Technological advancements for network virtualization and the abstraction of hardware into logical tools is accelerating the growth of the global Identity and access management as-a-service (IDaaS) market.

With increase in technology penetration the demand for security solutions arose early in this decade, to mitigate the increasing cyber threats in BFSI, healthcare and telecom industries. The industry participants are adopting cloud-based identity and access market. Based on our findings, BFSI sector had captured the major IDaaS market share in 2017 and is expected to grow seven times than its present worth by 2025. Advancements in banking technologies such as mobile banking apps, digital payment and customer service chatbots reduced the need for physical office locations. However, this has, in turn, resulted in a growing need for security for the consumers as well as employees. Bank network virtualization has resulted in driving the need to implement identity and access management (IAM) solutions to protect client data. With advancing virtualization resulting in more and more banking functions operating online, the demand for IDaaS is expected to have a high potential for growth in the segment over the next few years.

Moreover, several economies across the world have been investing heavily in IT with a significant chuck directed towards healthcare. The US alone invested USD 7.1 billion for health IT in 2014, an increase of approximately 153% from 2013. Numerous economies in the world are focusing on increasing digitalization in IT to increase the ease of experience for consumers as well as protect patient information. These factors together are expected to augment the growth of the global healthcare IDaaS market over the forecast period.

North America was valued at USD 489.5 million in 2017, and it is expected to grow with a two-digit CAGR during the forecast period as several IDaaS providers are located in the region including IBM, Oracle, and Microsoft Followed by North America, Europe is projected to be the second largest region for identity and access management-as-a-service market. The European IDaas market is undergoing consolidation through mergers and acquisitions in recent years. Moreover, as per KuppingerCole IT security leaders in Europe are planning to increase IAM spending in the next three years.

The global identity and access management-as-a-service market is highly competitive and fragmented owing to the presence of several regional and local players. Microsoft, CA Technologies, IBM Corporation, Salesforce.com Inc., Ping Identity Corporation, Centrify Corporation, Exostar, Google LLC, Fischer International Identity, Okta, Inc., OneLogin Inc., Oracle Corporation, Atos (Evidan) and others are some of the key players of identity and access management-as-a-service market.
