Impact of COVID-19 on the Digital Identity Management Solutions Market

The COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacted the global economy. Nationwide lockdowns and social distancing norms were imposed across several countries, negatively affecting multiple industries, including the digital identity management solutions industry. Uncertainty regarding the lockdowns made it difficult for the key market players to anticipate the recovery of the Digital Identity Management Solutions Market.

The COVID-19 pandemic moderately impacted the digital identity management industry due to delayed and postponed orders for various digital identity management solutions, including identity verification & authentication solutions, digital KYC & onboarding solutions, zero trust security solutions, and digital ID wallet solutions; however, the industry started recovering rapidly from the last quarter of 2020.

Leading digital identity management solution providers are focused on offering products with enhanced capabilities to capture larger market shares. For instance:

• In November 2022, NEC Corporation (Japan) launched a multimodal biometric authentication solution, which enables high-speed, high-precision authentication with a false acceptance rate of less than one in 10 billion just by having an individual direct their face toward an authentication device.
• In November 2022, ForgeRock, Inc. (U.S.) launched its new ForgeRock Identity Governance solution, a comprehensive cloud-native governance offering designed to help solve security and compliance challenges for large enterprises at scale.

Digital identity management solution providers plan to move forward and capitalize on the lucrative growth opportunities that have resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Digital Identity Management Solutions Marketis projected to transform drastically over the coming years.
