Unlocking New and Sustainable Sources of Identity and Access Management Revenue

The economic models that generate Identity and Access Management revenue have almost entirely transitioned to a highly predictable and scalable recurring revenue model, which is a key reason for the industry's financial strength. The old-world model of selling a perpetual software license for a large upfront fee is now a relic of the past. The dominant model in the market today is overwhelmingly Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), where customers pay a recurring subscription fee, typically calculated on a per-user, per-month basis. This approach has been a massive catalyst for the market, making enterprise-grade identity security accessible to businesses of all sizes. For vendors, the SaaS model creates a stable and forecastable stream of high-margin revenue, enabling continuous investment in innovation and security.

This evolution towards a stable and scalable recurring revenue model is a key factor behind the market's impressive financial growth. The entire industry is projected to expand significantly, with its total market size expected to grow from USD 17.08 billion in 2024 to reach USD 40 billion by the year 2035. This growth is supported by a strong and consistent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.04% during the forecast period. The predictability of SaaS revenue, combined with the mission-critical nature of the service, results in very high customer retention and net revenue retention rates (as customers add more users and products). This provides a solid and resilient foundation for the market's long-term revenue expansion and overall financial health.

Beyond the core per-user subscription for access management, leading vendors are successfully diversifying their revenue streams by upselling and cross-selling a growing portfolio of adjacent products. A major source of new revenue comes from selling higher-tier products that address more complex security and governance needs. This includes premium modules for identity governance and administration (IGA), privileged access management (PAM), and advanced server access. The Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) market represents another massive and distinct revenue stream, often priced based on the number of monthly active external users, which can be a huge and scalable business for vendors that can win in this space.

Looking ahead, the future of IAM revenue will be increasingly tied to the monetization of more advanced and specialized capabilities. As vendors embed more artificial intelligence and machine learning into their platforms for things like adaptive authentication and user behavior analytics, they are able to create new, premium-priced security offerings. Another emerging revenue stream is identity verification services, where the IAM provider can offer built-in document and biometric verification for high-assurance onboarding processes, taking a fee for each verification. As the identity platform becomes the central hub for all things related to digital trust, the potential to layer on new, value-added, and revenue-generating services is enormous.
