Small businesses are expected to witness a higher growth in the adoption of physical identity and access management software and services. However, the large enterprises segment is expected to lead the physical identity and access management market due to the early adoption of the software. PIAM vendors help both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and large enterprises to address the security needs of business-critical applications to protect them from sophisticated cyber attacks. According to the researchers, the adoption rate for physical identity and access management software and services is high in large enterprises and is expected to dominate the physical identity and access management market in terms of market size, during the forecast period.

PIAM software helps the government and defence vertical secure their infrastructure and users from identity risks with reduced costs. The increasing complexities in networks and increasing instances of insider threats and cyber attacks are fuelling the adoption of physical identity and access management solutions among governments across the globe.
