What Does the Current Market Landscape Look for Identity and access management (IAM)?
Identity and access management (IAM) ensures that individuals and job roles within an organization have the necessary access to tools and resources to perform their tasks. IAM systems allow companies to manage employee applications without needing to log in as an administrator for each app. Factors such as advancements in IoT and AI, increased focus on regulatory compliance, growing reliance on digital platforms and automation, and widespread adoption of cloud technologies across industries are expected to fuel the IAM market in the foreseeable future. The increasing instances of fraud and cybercrime have led organizations to adopt IAM systems due to the rapid adoption of cloud and emerging technologies. IAM makes use of identity analytics and intelligence to track odd user account behavior, allowing dormant accounts to be deleted, policy infractions to be found, and improper access rights to be removed. As a result, the growing concerns around enterprise identity and security are driving the growth of the IAM industry. Additionally, the cost-effective nature of application administration, centralization of connectivity and identity modifications, enhanced user reliability, and simplified access to sign-in, signup, and user management processes for application holders, along with the implementation of user verification and authorization policies, further contribute to the adoption of IAM.
Furthermore, integrating IAM with Mobile Device Management (MDM) can significantly enhance the efficiency of IAM and enable better security and control for organizations. MDM plays a crucial role in IAM as it allows businesses to manage apps and users on devices. Considering the widespread use of IAM across multiple devices, extending IAM to mobile devices has become a necessity for businesses. MDM complements IAM by providing security and provisioning apps to devices, creating a secure environment for users. IAM and MDM are interdependent, with MDM facilitating the effective use of IAM for identity and access management while ensuring security and control.
Global business operations have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to the widespread adoption of remote work practices and cloud technologies to mitigate disruptions. This increased reliance on cloud and remote work has also heightened concerns around data protection and privacy for organizations. The economic challenges caused by the pandemic have resulted in a surge in cybercrimes and identity fraud, driving the adoption of IAM solutions to bolster security during the pandemic.
The research study provides a comprehensive analysis of the industry, assessing the market on the basis of various segments and sub-segments. It sheds light on the competitive landscape and introduces Identity & Access Management (IAM) Market key players from the perspective of market share, concentration ratio, etc. The study is a vital resource for understanding the growth drivers, opportunities, and challenges in the industry.
Additionally, the growing adoption of bring your own device (BYOD) approach has further amplified concerns related to identity and privacy, which is expected to drive market growth. Furthermore, with the emergence of Industry 4.0, IAM solutions have been introduced for machines, allowing enterprises to manage identities of RPA bots, IoT devices, containers, virtual machines, and other entities. As businesses recognize the benefits of these solutions, the IAM market is expected to witness significant growth in the long term, spurred by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Industry Dynamics
Growth Drivers
What are the Factors Driving the Market Expansion?
Increasing Need for IAM for IoT
The growth of Internet of Things (IoT) devices signifies a shift in the digital ecosystem and a vast and complex new attack surface. Each connected device whether an industrial sensor monitoring safety, smart health device, or other type of IoT device represents a unique digital identity that requires secure access management with authentication and authorization. Existing IAM ecosystems and frameworks are not suited for the volume of identities, variety of endpoints, and the limited computing power of the connected devices. As a result, organizations must implement IAM solutions that will provision, credential, and govern machine identities at scale. Therefore, only authorized devices can communicate in the network and with specific data, and preventing data breaches and disruptions. The ability to secure machine-to-machine communication is a fundamental driver of evolving IAM from traditional systems to specialty capabilities.
Growing Reliance on Digital Platforms and Automation
The number of human and non-human identities accessing digital systems has increased, as critical functions, customer interactions, and partner integrations are performed digitally. This expanded ecosystem creates a penetrable environment filled with insecure access controls leading to potentially catastrophic data exfiltration events, compliance violations, and operational downtime. The need to facilitate this digital transformation securely while preserving governance and a seamless user experience is the primary investment driver in IAM frameworks.
