The Market for Credential Management

Customers within the credential management market are defined as any organisation that needs to capture and manage data essential for the production of a physical credential.

Global credential management market trends:

• Growing data security needs driving growth in smart cards and ID solutions (Source: RNCOS Global Smart Card Outlook – Feb’08).
• Global Smart Card value (excl. SIM cards) estimated to be USD$490 million by 2011.
• Frost and Sullivan estimate that the global ID and credential management market will grow to USD$800 million by 2012.
• Economic conditions driving organisations to seek out applications that improve business processes and reduce operational costs of credential issuance.
• Increasing demand for a form factor capable of multi applications, i.e. ID, access, e-purse.
• New multi-application form factors such as microchips inside mobile phones, tokens and dongles are emerging.
• 40% annual growth in North America for contactless payment driven by consumer need for faster, easier and more convenient methods of payment (Source: Cards Now Jan/Feb 2009).

Global Aspirations

After several years of early stage development, the identity and credential management market has entered a more rapid growth phase. The outlook within the identity industry is exciting as an increasing number of organisations desire to capture and manage customer data in a secure and efficient way.

Against the background of billions of identity cards to be issued globally over the next ten years, global opportunities are emerging in Central Government, Health Care, Banking and Transport driven by a desire to make customer transactions faster and more convenient, growing security data needs and a drive for more cost effective business systems.

Eyede and its software platforms are in an excellent position to benefit from this burgeoning market. 

The Eyede board are committed to positioning the company to take advantage of this global growth through investment, global strategic partnerships and continuous product development and new innovation.
