India Identity Verification Market Seen Soaring ~15.45% Growth to Reach USD Million by 2033, Projects UnivDatos

Key Highlights of the Report:

• Competition is intense in the market as domestic regtech companies such as Signzy, IDfy, AuthBridge, and HyperVerge compete with international players such as Shufti Limited in their activities; competition is becoming stricter, and this can be observed through strategic partnerships, investments, and the use of APIs in innovations.

• The adoption of Aadhaar is largely led by North India, comprising high Aadhaar saturation, government institutions, and financial centers, whereas South India becomes the fastest-growing region to adopt Aadhaar due to IT clusters, fintech innovations, and a digital-first policy.

• Biometrics dominates the volume market with success being the Aadhaar-linked authentication component, but non-biometrics (AI-enabled document verification, video KYC) is the component that is enjoying higher growth; cloud and API platforms are also very popular in all sectors.

• Compliance with stringent KYC/AML regulations by the RBI, SEBI, and mandates linked to Aadhaar are supporting the demand, and the changing data privacy policies, such as the DPDP Act, are also weighing in on technology and solution designs.

According to a new report by UnivDatos, the India Identity Verification Market is expected to reach USD Million in 2033 by growing at a CAGR of 15.45% during the forecast period (2025-2033F). The drivers include Digital India, stringent KYC/AML requirements by RBI and SEBI, increasing fintech usage, and the risk of fraud in digital payments, which drive the demand for secure, compliant, and efficient solutions to identity verification. Moreover, the rising penetration of smartphones, the popularity of using UPI and digital payments, and government programs of empowering the population with finances are the adoption catalysts. Also, the surge in demand for frictionless remote onboarding and fraud prevention in real-time drives the growth of the Identity verification market in India.

For instance, on June 12, 2025, the Reserve Bank of India introduced amendments to its KYC norms, streamlining customer onboarding through Aadhaar-based e-KYC, video KYC, and DigiLocker. Banks also receive instructions to connect with the Central KYC Registry and to use Business Correspondents to reach many more points and to make the KYC updation simpler.

Driver: Government Initiatives like Aadhaar & E-Governance: A Key Driver for India Identity Verification Market

Programs such as the Government platforms, examples include Aadhaar and e-Governance programs, play a vital role in the development of the India Identity Verification market since they provide a robust basis for a digital identity infrastructure. More than 1.3 billion people are enrolled in the Aadhaar system, making it possible to conduct convenient eKYC, authentication, and service delivery in banking, telephone, insurance, and the benefit programs of the government.

E-Governance projects like DigiLocker, Jan Dhan Yojana, and PMGDISHA require a secure and verified digital identity to achieve transparency, minimize fraudulent activity, and reach the number of people served. Such efforts push companies and service providers into incorporating identity verification services into their operations to avoid falling foul of the new models. Consequently, there has been a growing demand in most industries for scalable, secure, and privacy-oriented identity verification technologies.

For instance, on June 26, 2025, The Department of Financial Services, Ministry of Finance, issued a notification published in the Gazette of India vide S.O.837 (pg.1614-15/c), authorising the Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) to use Aadhaar authentication using Yes/ No or/ and e-KYC authentication facilitates, on voluntary basis, for verifying the identity of candidates during examinations and recruitment processes conducted by it.
