Wiesbaden, February 2, 2023 – The CIAM market has grown steadily over the past years, and the market volume is expected to reach 4.55 billion USD by 2025.

Consumer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) is part of the broader IAM market. CIAM solutions are designed to address specific technical requirements that consumer-facing organizations have and that differ from traditional Business-to-Employee (B2E) use cases.
CIAM systems allow users to register, associate device and other digital identities, authenticate, authorize, collect, and store information about consumers from across many domains. Unlike workforce IAM systems, information about consumers often stems from various unauthoritative sources. Information collected about consumers can be used for many different purposes, such as authorization to resources or for marketing analytics. It also plays a vital role for Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulatory compliance. CIAM systems must be able to manage many millions of identities and to process tens of millions and more logins and other transactions per day. SaaS-based delivery of CIAM services is the norm.
