Global cloud IAM market at a glance

Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global cloud IAM market to grow at a CAGR of close to 25% during the forecast period. One of the major drivers propelling the growth of the market is the increasing demand for cloud IAM from the BFSI sector. The BFSI sector is increasingly implementing cloud IAM solutions to improve risk management and fraud detection, as these solutions prevent fraud in online transactions, credit card-related functions, and insurance claims. Hence, many large financial institutions are replacing outdated solutions and investing heavily in cloud IAM solutions to streamline their workflows. The acceptance of hybrid deployment models for cost-effective functioning is also another factor leading to the high use of cloud IAM in the BFSI sector.

Another major factor that is uplifting the growth of the global cloud IAM market is the emergence of identity as a service (IDaaS), which is a security verification solution developed and controlled by a third-party service provider that allows employees access to cloud-based applications through a single sign-on (SSO) process. Despite the low adoption rate of IDaas during 2015 due to its high cost, the demand for this solution is likely to grow during the forecast period because of its easy implementation and user-friendliness.
