Healthcare identity management encompasses the processes and technologies used to securely manage and authenticate the identities of individuals within healthcare systems, including patients, healthcare providers, and administrators. Its primary objective is to ensure that the appropriate individuals have access to healthcare resources, services, and sensitive information while safeguarding patient privacy and adhering to regulatory standards.
The main solutions within healthcare identity management include identity and access management (IAM), authentication, verification, and access management and authorization. IAM refers to the tools and processes organizations use to manage digital identities and control access to specific resources. These solutions can be deployed in various ways, including on-premises, cloud-based, and hybrid models. Key technologies involved include biometric authentication, radio frequency identification (RFID) and smart cards, single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and internet of things (IoT) authentication. The primary end users of these solutions are hospitals and clinics, diagnostic laboratories, research institutions, and health insurance companies.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the healthcare sector, especially in the supply of essential medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are grappling with higher costs for imported surgical tools, imaging systems, and consumables like syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic substitutes. These escalating expenses are putting pressure on healthcare budgets, prompting some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass increased costs on to patients. Furthermore, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the manufacturing of vital drugs and devices, leading to supply chain delays. In response, the industry is adopting diversified sourcing strategies, expanding local production where feasible, and pushing for tariff exemptions on critical medical products.
The healthcare identity management market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides healthcare identity management market statistics, including healthcare identity management industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a healthcare identity management market share, detailed healthcare identity management market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the healthcare identity management industry. This healthcare identity management market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The healthcare identity management market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $4.57 billion in 2024 to $5.14 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, rise in adoption of cloud-based healthcare solutions, growth in biometric authentication technologies, growth in healthcare data sharing initiatives, and growth in healthcare fraud detection systems.
The healthcare identity management market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.22 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, rise in adoption of cloud-based healthcare solutions, growth in biometric authentication technologies, growth in healthcare data sharing initiatives, and growth in healthcare fraud detection systems. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, adoption of blockchain technology, integration of artificial intelligence, internet of medical things, and telehealth.
The forecast of 12.5% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.2% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariff barriers are expected to hamper the U.S. by increasing the cost of biometric patient identification systems and blockchain-based credentialing platforms sourced from Taiwan and Belgium, thereby compromising security protocols and elevating health IT administration costs. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The increasing frequency of security breaches is expected to drive growth in the healthcare identity management market in the coming years. A security breach occurs when unauthorized access to or disclosure of sensitive information, systems, or networks takes place, potentially leading to damage or exploitation. The rise in security breaches can be attributed to several factors, including heightened cyber threats, the expansion of digital infrastructure, and human error. Healthcare identity management systems utilize multi-factor authentication (MFA) and biometric verification to ensure that only authorized individuals can access sensitive patient information. This strategy significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access and bolsters security measures against potential breaches. For instance, in January 2024, the Identity Theft Resource Center, a US-based non-profit organization, reported that in 2023, approximately 725 data breaches occurred, exposing or disclosing over 133 million records. This indicates a continued rise in healthcare data breaches throughout the year. Thus, the growing instances of security breaches are driving the expansion of the healthcare identity management market.
Key players in the healthcare identity management market are focusing on developing advanced technologies, such as multi-factor authentication, to enhance security by providing additional layers of protection against unauthorized access. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a security protocol that improves user verification by requiring two or more independent credentials to confirm identity access. For example, in March 2023, Clario, a US-based technology company, launched the Federated Identity Management (FIM) System. This system enhances security and user convenience by allowing users to access multiple systems and organizations using a single login credential, streamlining the authentication process. FIM integrates with external identity providers, enabling clients to securely access Clario's platform using their trusted credentials. It also incorporates single-sign-on (SSO) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) to strengthen security, particularly for individuals involved in clinical trials.
In May 2024, Cloud21, a UK-based digital healthcare services company, acquired BDS Solutions for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to enhance Cloud21's IT integration and support services for healthcare by leveraging expertise in identity management and IT operations to optimize technology infrastructure and improve user experience across healthcare organizations. BDS Solutions is a US-based identity management and IT services company.
