Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) Market by Offering (Solutions and Services), Identity Type (Biometrics and Non-biometrics), Network, Organization Size, Vertical (BFSI, IT & ITES, and Healthcare) and Region - Global Forecast to 2029

The global self-sovereign identity (SSI) market size is projected to grow from USD 1.8 billion in 2024 to USD 47.1 billion by 2029 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 90.5% during the forecast period. The SSI market growth is primarly driven by the increasing need for trusted and portable digital identities in cross-border transactions and services.

SSI adoption in healthcare addresses demands for secure and interoperable identity management systems, exemplified by patient-centric platforms like MediLinker leveraging blockchain technology. These advancements promote health data security, trust, and privacy, empowering individuals and organizations to embrace SSI for comprehensive identity protection and secure data exchange in evolving digital ecosystems.

“By vertical, the BFSI segment accounts for a larger market share.”

The BFSI segment dominates the SSI market due to its heavy reliance on technology and the transformative impact of SSI solutions on traditional banking processes. SSI revolutionizes Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures by leveraging Verifiable Credentials (VCs) to streamline account opening, eliminating lengthy verification periods and document submissions. Financial institutions can issue VCs for credit scores, income statements, and bank account verification, enabling swift credit and loan approvals. This reusable KYC concept reduces user friction, enhances customer experience, and ensures regulatory compliance. Moreover, the seamless ID verification extends beyond consumer banking to business-to-business (B2B) interactions, accelerating customer onboarding, bolstering security, and fostering innovation in mobile banking. This technology-driven approach fundamentally reshapes financial services, positioning BFSI as a significant catalyst for SSI adoption.

“By Offering, the solutions segment accounts for a larger market share.”

The solutions segment dominates the SSI market due to its comprehensive suite of tools and technologies designed to revolutionize identity management. Offering a range of platforms from verifiable credential issuance to decentralized wallets empowers individuals with control over their digital identities. These solutions integrate regulatory compliance and interoperability frameworks, ensuring seamless ecosystem interaction. Platforms like Sovrin and Evernym exemplify this innovation, providing secure, self-sovereign identity management capabilities. Additionally, SSI analytics play a pivotal role, offering insights into identity interactions and enhancing overall system efficiency. This holistic approach empowers individuals and organizations to manage and utilize digital identities securely and efficiently, driving the solutions segment to hold the largest market share in the SSI landscape.
