2022 is a year to pull out all identity verification companies as the digital transformation keeps unfolding, innovations are at a boom, cybercriminals are getting smarter and identity verification companies are not relenting.
One of such companies includes Nigeria’s CREDEQUiTY helping businesses understand their customers better and enabling data security and verification for both individuals and corporations.
A report by MarketWatch revealed that the increasing number of identity threats related to fraud has led to significant growth in the Identity Verification Market and the rise of data breaches is the key factor contributing to market growth. Also, the Identity Verification Market is expected to project a notable 15.7% in 2030, surpassing $17.63 billion in the same year, from $7.2 billion in 2018 at a 15.7% between 2019 to 2030.Â
