Growing Demand for Complex Diagnostic Solutions in Europe

The SSI market is growing in the European market. This growth is facilitated by the legislative and regulatory commitment to digital identity and the enforcement of privacy. Legislation such as eIDAS 2.0 has prompted institutions to consider the use of decentralized identity solutions that have user consent and control to increase compliance. For instance, Validated ID created a system, VIDchain, on information that is within European compliance standards while permitting trusted and secure credential management. It has been observed that the proportion of institutions using SSI credentials has grown, even though institutions such as public sector organizations and universities started investing in SSI systems for credentialing procedures. Furthermore, member states are giving priority to the cross-border interoperability of digital identities.

North America Region Dominates the Market with a Major Share

North America is experiencing rapid growth in the SSI market as organizations are utilizing decentralized identity frameworks for security, privacy, and regulatory frameworks. Businesses are beginning to use SSI, although it reduces the risks that come with a central identity management system that is frequently necessary. For instance, Microsoft's launch of the ION network illustrates the commitment in North America to scalable and blockchain decoupled identity systems. SSI technologies have broad potential across many industries, including health care, finance, and government, to support improved authentication and user control of data. The focus on interoperability and verifiable credentials facilitates digital trust across digital platforms.
