- Demand will continue to grow, with market value reaching $11.60 billion by 2029
The personal ID industry encompasses a wide variety of identity documents, including national ID cards, driving licences, voter ID cards, health cards, and birth certificates; and international travel documents such as passports and visas. The personal ID industry is driven by the need to continue to improve the security of these documents to make them less susceptible to counterfeiting activity, with national and regional initiatives to standardise formats of key types of personal ID to ensure that they embrace enhanced security measures.
Initiatives around digital IDs, along with the potential and challenges they face, are discussed in detail in this report; including the European Union's eIDAS Regulation. The continuing growth of digital IDs is inevitable over the next five years; however, they will complement, rather than replace, physical documents.
