Agentic AI identity governance, mainstream passwordless authentication, zero trust as default architecture and the explosion of non-human identities are the dominant trends shaping the Global Identity and Access Management Market growth profile through the forecast period.
Agentic AI is creating an entirely new IAM layer focused on AI agent governance. Okta's general availability of Okta for AI Agents (30 April 2026), the open Cross App Access protocol, and parallel programmes from Microsoft Entra and Ping Identity reflect rapid productisation. Enterprises are deploying Identity Security Posture Management to discover, classify and govern thousands of AI agents alongside human and machine identities. Combined with non-human identities outnumbering humans 3:1 by 2026, this trend is materially expanding Global Identity and Access Management Market growth and total addressable spend.
Passwordless authentication has crossed into the mainstream, with passkeys based on FIDO2 and WebAuthn replacing passwords across high-risk sectors such as banking, healthcare and government. Microsoft accelerated passkey rollouts across Entra ID through 2025 and is positioning passwordless as the default for workforce access by end of 2026. Regulatory drivers including PSD2, eIDAS 2.0 and EU Cyber Resilience Act compliance are accelerating adoption, while consumer-facing services from Apple, Google and Microsoft are normalising passkeys for end users. The trend is structurally lifting MFA market growth.
SailPoint's February 2025 IPO – raising approximately USD 1.38 billion at first major tech IPO of 2025 – was followed by Palo Alto Networks' late-2025 acquisition of CyberArk and CyberArk's USD 165 million Zilla deal. The cumulative effect is a clear capital-markets validation of identity security as a strategic platform layer. Public-market and platform-vendor capital is pouring into the segment, accelerating product roadmaps in identity governance, PAM, AI agent identity and non-human identity governance, and reinforcing concentration around the leading vendors.
Zero Trust is transitioning from strategic aspiration to default enterprise architecture, with continuous verification embedded as a practical design constraint rather than a long-term goal. EU regulations including NIS2 and the Cyber Resilience Act are codifying continuous-verification expectations for critical infrastructure, while leading enterprises rebuild IAM around identity as the primary trust signal. Vendor responses include Okta's Identity Security Fabric, Microsoft's Entra Suite, IBM Verify, Oracle IAM and Thales' identity portfolio – all expanding continuous-evaluation capabilities. The trend underpins durable double-digit IAM market growth.

The Expert Market Research’s report titled “Global Identity and Access Management Market Report and Forecast 2026-2035” offers a detailed analysis of the market based on the following segments:
Market Breakup by Type
Key Insight: Multifactor Authentication is the fastest-growing type segment, supported by mainstream passkey adoption, regulatory pressure (PSD2, eIDAS 2.0, NIS2) and consumer-facing financial services authentication. Audit, Compliance and Governance is anchored by SailPoint's USD 875 million recurring revenue base and continued investment from Okta, Microsoft, IBM and Oracle. Single Sign-On remains a foundational layer with Okta, Microsoft Entra and Ping Identity dominant. Provisioning, Directory Service and Password Management adapt rapidly to non-human identities including AI agents, bots and APIs.
Market Breakup by Deployment Mode
Key Insight: Cloud deployment is the dominant and fastest-growing mode, supported by SaaS-first enterprise procurement, distributed work and identity-as-a-service expansion through Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Auth0 (Okta), Ping and Oracle Identity Cloud. Hybrid remains highly relevant for regulated industries balancing data sovereignty with cloud agility, while pure on-premise persists across sensitive public-sector, defence and certain BFSI deployments. EU digital sovereignty initiatives and on-prem strategies in select sectors are slowing pure-cloud migration but boosting hybrid.
Market Breakup by End Use
Key Insight: BFSI is the leading end-use sector, supported by intense regulatory scrutiny (PSD2, GLBA, FFIEC), high fraud-loss exposure and aggressive passwordless and zero-trust modernisation. Healthcare ranks among the fastest-growing sectors, driven by HIPAA, EHDS in Europe and patient-portal MFA mandates. The Public sector is consolidating identity around digital sovereignty and post-quantum readiness. IT and Telecom anchor the largest aggregate IAM spend through SaaS sprawl, while Energy/Oil/Gas and Manufacturing accelerate IAM modernisation as part of OT/IT convergence and ransomware resilience.
Market Breakup by Region
Key Insight: North America leads global IAM spend, anchored by Okta, Microsoft Entra, IBM, Oracle, SailPoint, CyberArk (Palo Alto Networks) and Auth0. Europe is consolidating around digital sovereignty under NIS2 and the Cyber Resilience Act, with Thales and Atos expanding regional footprints. Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing region, with India, China, Japan and ASEAN scaling cloud IAM and zero trust adoption. Latin America benefits from BFSI-led modernisation in Brazil and Mexico, while Middle East & Africa rises on UAE and Saudi Arabia digital-government investments.
By Type, Multifactor Authentication and Single Sign-On together hold the largest combined share, with MFA the fastest-growing sub-segment as passkeys and FIDO2/WebAuthn standards mainstream across enterprise and consumer applications. Microsoft's accelerated 2025 passkey rollout across Entra ID and Authenticator, Okta's expanded MFA capabilities within the Identity Security Fabric, and regulatory drivers such as PSD2, eIDAS 2.0 and NIS2 reinforce the dominance. Audit, Compliance and Governance is similarly anchored by SailPoint's IPO scale, with capital-markets validation supporting continued share gains.
By Deployment Mode, Cloud holds the dominant share, supported by SaaS-first procurement, hybrid-work normalisation and the growing reach of identity-as-a-service offerings from Okta, Microsoft Entra, Ping, Oracle and Auth0. Cloud is also the fastest-growing deployment mode, with hybrid emerging as the second largest reflective of regulated industries balancing sovereignty with agility. Pure on-premise spend declines as a share of total IAM but remains substantial in defence, intelligence, certain government, and BFSI workloads where regulatory or operational constraints favour traditional architectures.

North America is the dominant regional IAM market, anchored by Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, IBM Verify, Oracle Identity, Auth0 (Okta), SailPoint and CyberArk (now part of Palo Alto Networks). The region concentrates the world's largest enterprise IAM deployments, deepest zero-trust mandates and the bulk of identity-security venture and public-market capital, including SailPoint's USD 1.38 billion February 2025 IPO and Palo Alto's late-2025 CyberArk acquisition. Demand drivers include hybrid work, AI agent governance, BFSI regulatory pressure, ransomware risk and federal zero trust mandates such as the US OMB M-22-09 directive's continued implementation.
Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing IAM region, led by India, China, Japan and ASEAN economies. Major players including Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, Okta, Thales and Broadcom are expanding cloud IAM offerings, while domestic vendors compete on data sovereignty and regulatory alignment. Investments are being driven by digital banking, e-government identity rollouts (India Aadhaar-linked services, ASEAN national digital IDs), and mass deployment of zero trust networks across hybrid-cloud enterprises. Demand drivers include rising cyberattack volume, BFSI digitisation, government digital ID schemes and cloud-first IT strategies in mid-market and enterprise segments.
