Identity and Access Management Market to Exceed USD 42 Billion by 2030
According to the latest global forecast from MarketsandMarkets, the identity & access management (IAM) sector is entering a period of strong expansion and is expected to surpass USD 42 billion by 2030. Estimates show that the market will grow from USD 25.96 billion in 2025 to USD 42.61 billion over the next five years, with a compound annual growth rate of 10.4%.
This trend is driven by the accelerated shift of companies toward digital business models and the increasing use of multicloud and hybrid IT environments. Organisations with distributed workforces are increasingly seeking solutions that are scalable, context-aware, and risk-adaptive. At the same time, the rapid adoption of zero-trust architectures and advanced access policies is creating new opportunities for the IAM market, which is already experiencing heightened momentum and faster growth in software-based solutions.
The rising complexity of IT environments and the expansion of hybrid infrastructures are pushing companies to engage specialised services for continuous monitoring, identity lifecycle management, and security policy optimisation. Sectors such as finance, healthcare, government, and IT are becoming especially reliant on these services to strengthen their security posture and maintain compliance with regulatory requirements.
The strongest acceleration, however, comes from the B2B segment, where enterprises require secure and controlled access for partners, suppliers, and distributors. Zero-trust strategies and API-driven integrations are further reinforcing the importance of advanced B2B IAM platforms.
From a regional perspective, North America remains the dominant market thanks to high cloud adoption, advanced technological infrastructure, and a strong regulatory framework. Organisations in the United States and Canada continue to invest heavily in solutions such as privileged access management, adaptive authentication, and AI-driven identity analytics to defend against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
The IAM industry also features a broad set of key players, including Microsoft, IBM, Okta, Oracle, CyberArk, HID Global, and many other global leaders in digital identity security.
