Identity Governance and Administration Market Size, Share, and Industry Analysis, By Component (Solutions and Services), By Deployment Model (Cloud and On-Premise), By Enterprise Type (Large Enterprises and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), By Vertical (BFSI, IT and Telecom, Government and Defense, Retail, Healthcare, Manufacturing, and Others), and Regional Forecast, 2025-2032

The global identity governance and administration market size was valued at USD 9.29 billion in 2025. The market is projected to grow from USD 10.7 billion in 2026 to USD 33.1 billion by 2034, exhibiting a CAGR of 15.16% during the forecast period.

Identity governance and administration, also known as identity security, is at the heart of the IT department, securing and enabling the digital identities of all users' data and applications. This enables organizations to provide automated access to an increasing number of technology resources while managing compliance risks and potential security. Identity governance and management automates labor-intensive processes, such as access authentication, access requests, and password management and provisioning, significantly reducing operational costs.

Government regulations regarding identity management and management drive market growth with an increasing adoption rate. For instance, an IGA solution that meets SOX compliance requirements includes identity management and centralized access, enforcement of segregation of duties policies, regular audits to validate user rights and privileges across the infrastructure, and automatic tracking and logging tools. As a result, IGA has become a major priority for the enterprise.

The industry was under pressure due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Identity and management are both programs. Lockdown and social exclusion created problems in program implementation. During the pandemic, demand for the program decreased. Finding new customers will be a challenge for the market. The pass rate also dropped significantly during this period. However, since COVID-19, market activity resumed rapidly. Identity management and administration programs are expected to be the most adopted in the coming years.

Impact of Generative AI on the Identity Governance and Administration Market

Generative AI is developing identity management, reducing efficiency and errors by automating mundane tasks. However, businesses need to tread carefully and ensure they understand their risks and tolerance for automation. For instance, an Organization may have business processes that require personnel. You can't pass a compliance audit if the user can't fully justify your processes. Security leaders need to understand these types of business constraints when deciding where and how to deploy the use of generative AI. This could be successful in areas such as identity management, where extensive automation is necessary. However, companies carefully consider their risks, find ways to mitigate them, and move forward. The surge in malicious phishing emails underscores the urgency. For instance, According to the latest Phishing Statistics 2024, Phishing is the standard type of cybercrime, with a projected 3.4 billion spam emails sent every day. Cybercriminals use GAI tools to craft targeted and convincing phishing messages that can cause significant financial losses and security breaches.

Analysis by Deployment

By deployment, the market is segmented into cloud and on-premise.

The cloud segment holds a significant market share as many companies move from on-premises software to cloud-based services and strive to expand mobile access, making identity governance tasks more complex. For instance, according to IT management software company Flexera’s 2024 Cloud report, 58% of respondents are planning to escalate their cloud workloads in 2024. Sensitive data flowing between on-premises and off-premises devices requires strong safeguards to prevent unauthorized access. New approaches are needed to keep up with the growing number of mobile devices connecting to corporate systems. This has increased the demand for cloud-based identity governance and administration solutions and services.

Further, the interaction of cloud and IoT technologies in enterprises requires a more granular approach to identity and access management across scalable solutions suitable for a variety of network environments. Therefore, the need for security solutions that include security against identity-related crimes is a key factor driving the adoption of the cloud.
