Global Identity Theft Protection Services Market Size Study & Forecast, by Type (Credit Card Fraud, Bank Fraud, Phone or Utility Fraud, Employment or Tax-related Fraud), By Application (Consumer, Enterprise), and Regional Analysis, 2023-2030

Global Identity Theft Protection Services Market is valued at approximately USD 11.56 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 14.2% over the forecast period 2023-2030. Identity Theft Protection Services encompass holistic solutions created to protect both individuals and organizations against the illicit utilization of personal information in the commission of fraudulent activities. The primary objectives of these services include the detection, prevention, and alleviation of risks associated with identity theft. Identity theft involves unauthorized access to and exploitation of an individual's personal information for nefarious purposes, spanning financial, criminal, or other malicious activities. The Identity Theft Protection Services Market is expanding because of factors such as the regulatory compliance requirements, rising focus on financial protection and the widespread use of smartphones and other mobile devices for various online activities.

Additionally, the proliferation of communication networks and the digitalization of businesses have raised the vulnerability of organizations to a range of new risks, particularly the escalating threat of cyberattacks. According to the U.S. government, identity theft accounts as the fastest-growing financial crime, impacting approximately 15 million Americans annually. A survey by Security.org revealed that 67% of U.S. adults reported incidents of identity theft during 2019-2020. The number of identity theft victims surged to over 20.7 million in 2020. Moreover, the Identity Theft Research Center (ITRC) reported a record 1,862 data compromises in the U.S. in 2021, marking a substantial 68% increase from the previous year and approximately 23% higher than the preceding all-time high of 1,506. Thus, these aforementioned factors are propelling the growth of the Identity Theft Protection Services Market during the estimated period. Moreover, the rising number of identity thefts in government and public sectors, as well as the emerging trend of integrating identity theft protection services with insurance and financial products present various lucrative opportunities over the forecast years. However, the unavailability of skilled professionals and the high costs associated with identity theft protection services are challenging the market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
