Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) Market Worth USD 589.02 Billion by 2034 | CAGR of 82.50%

According to the research report, the global self-sovereign identity (SSI) market size was valued at USD 1.62 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 589.02 Billion by 2034 growing at a CAGR of 82.50%.

Self-sovereign identification is a digital identity strategy that puts individuals in a position of power over the autonomy of information they share about their persons with websites, services, and applications to identify themselves. Without SSI, users would have to rely on a large number of identity providers, which would fragment their online experience. SSI protects access to services and management of one's identification data. The SSI industry has to battle digital identity theft, data security, and efficient verification procedures. Its goal is to enhance user experiences while staying compliant with legislation like GDPR. Another challenge includes system standardization, technological issues, and the wide acceptance of SSI ideas.

Rules may impede the development of SSI or may be considered as a threat to their business models by traditional identity providers. The prospect of user empowerment, identity theft reduction, and privacy enhancement makes SSI technology attractive for funding and interest despite such challenges.

Technical innovation, fierce competition, and rapid growth these are the hallmarks of today's Self-Sovereign Identity market. Companies are looking to establish a foothold through diversified service offerings, a focus on sustainability, and an increased global footprint.

Recent Advancements

• In May 2024, It will enable new applications by having a specification that unifies decentralized identification schemes. The decentralized identity community seeks to combine OpenID's protocols for verifiable credentials with DIDComm, empowering enterprises to use virtual certificates with "direct communication between trusted connections" as the Decentralized Identity Foundation.

Legal frameworks, such as the EU's eIDAS laws and the recent grant to Findynet Cooperative from Finland for self-sovereign identity, drive this adoption. SSI is the concept of a digital identity based on the empowerment of users to have full control over their personal data and supporting digital sovereignty and self-government; decentralized identities and public-key cryptography are two of the key technical themes focusing on user autonomy. SSI succeeds at the combination of law enforcement and user-centered design. Blockchain technology grants users control over their digital identity, thus further increasing concern for the privacy of data. However, if adoption rates are to be effective, a solid governance framework needs to be in place. Across the world, governments are joining in with earnest efforts to develop and roll out SSI solutions, especially regulatory compliance, financial inclusion, protection of data, public service delivery, and technical innovation.

Based on Offering, Identity, Vertical, and Region, the Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) market is divided into segments. It provides services and products including DID management tools, issuance platforms, credential validation services, identity wallets, and data governance tools. Service providers concentrate on compatibility, and security, and offer top-notch SSI solution consultancy. The most popular methods of Internet identification are biometrics, which include facial recognition software and fingerprint scanners. Credentials such as medical records and academic credentials are increasingly being stored using non-biometric methods. Finance, supply chain, healthcare, government, telecommunication, retail, education, media, and entertainment are just a few of the businesses that profit from SSI. It decreases counterfeiting, speeds up customs processing, and improves transparency. It enhances safe medical data, insurance processing, and care coordination in the healthcare industry. Governments are able to offer secure data interchange and safe internet access.

Concerns with data privacy and compliance with CCPA and GDPR drive the use of blockchain-based SSI systems, with North America being the model in this regard. The governments of the US and Canada are supporting SSI solutions for supply chain traceability, digital identity verification, and healthcare data management. This brings better client trust, is cost-effective, and secure, and has compliance with data privacy. Pilot programs in SSI solutions for supply chain, banking, and healthcare are being developed by the Asia-Pacific governments, like Singapore and Australia. Companies from the business side include Microsoft, Validated ID, IDEX Biometrics, and Dock. Still, questions over legal ambiguities and official support linger.
