Identity As A Service Market Size Worth $14.89 Billion By 2027

The global identity as a service market size is expected to reach USD 14.89 billion by 2027 expanding at a CAGR of 22.0% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The rapid growth in IT infrastructure, ease of scalability, and cost-effectiveness of the Identity as a Service (IDaaS) solutions are anticipated to be the key factors driving the market. Rising threats and vulnerabilities across crucial organizational data have compelled companies to enhance their cybersecurity stand and focus on managing identities. This will support market growth.

Moreover, strict regulatory compliance and mandates pertaining to data security are likely to fuel the demand further. For instance, the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which came into force in May 2018, applies to all businesses worldwide that collect and process the data of EU citizens. The stringent compliance by the government agencies to curb theft of identity information has compelled the organizations to improve their spending on IT security substantially.

The proliferation of Bring Your Own Devices (BYOD) trend and adoption of cloud services within the organizations have potentially opened new avenues for threat actors. The deployment of IDaaS would reduce the risk and complexities of identity access with the help of cloud deployment and subscription as a services business model to its user. The adoption of cloud deployment in the organization is proliferating, owing to the flexibility and cost-effectiveness in the implementation of the business functions. Moreover, it also provides the opportunity to transform IT infrastructure digitally.

The average number of cloud-based applications that are used in an organization ranges from 900 to 1200 services. Each service involves its set of user credentials, which rely on vulnerable combinations of passwords. An organization may find it challenging to maintain the authentication credentials for its end-users. The capabilities provided by IDaaS solutions, such as Single Sign-On, Multi-Factor Authentications, help enable transparent authentication and improve the end-user experience for cloud-based services managed within the enterprise network.

Identity as a Service allows the organizations to enhance the security aspects making it more indulgent for employees to leverage the broad array of cloud services at their disposal. It also helps organizations by strengthening the identity and access parameter by enforcing policies about credential management and implementing more robust levels of authentication.

Electric Ship Market Size Worth $14.64 Billion By 2027

The global electric ship market size is expected to reach USD 14.64 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 11.2%from 2020 to 2027, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing sensitivity of various international maritime authorities towards a cleaner environment has supported the demand for a zero-emission marine electric vessel. Additionally, rising adoption of an electrically-propelled ship for inland cargo and passenger transportation is anticipated to boost the market growth over the forecast period. 

The marine vessels with conventional internal combustion engine-based propulsion systems and propellers are directly connected to the engine with the shaft, which creates a high level of friction and vibration, thereby decreasing the overall efficiency of the vessel. Moreover, the vibrations created by this connection generate structural fatigue in the vessel structure and discomfort to the crew/passengers.

However, in electric ship propulsion, there is no physical connection of power source to the propeller, which reduces noise, vibration, and friction generated from this link. Moreover, increased focus of international maritime authorities to limit the noise and vibration in the vessel has compelled the shipbuilders to invest and adopt alternative technologies in accordance with the environmental regulations. Furthermore, high adoption of low vibration propulsion system in luxury passenger cruise and yachts is expected to significantly boost the market growth over the forecast period.

The conventional internal combustion engine encapsulates a lot of space as compared to an electric propulsion system owing to its physically connected machines from power source and propeller through a shaft. The shift from conventional engines to the electrical propulsion system can save a lot of space in the vessel, which further can be used to carry extra cargo and passengers to earn more profit in this competitive era. Moreover, the internal combustion engine of big marine vessels runs on bunker fuel owing to its low cost, although it generates a high volume of sulfur emission. However, increased focus of the shipbuilders on reducing sulfur emissions, along with higher effectiveness and efficiency, is expected to positively impact the market growth over the forecast period.

Moreover, increasing adoption of the electric-based defense technology in the naval defense, such as laser gun and rail guns, is expected to boost the electrically propelled vessel. Energy requirement of the technologies, such as laser gun and medium to large-caliber rail guns, is in millions of amps. These systems cannot be installed on the conventional ships owing to their huge power requirement and none of the vessels can generate or store such amount of energy. Besides, in an electric boat, the energy generated can be diverted to these new technology weapons, which has led to the adoption of these ship in the naval defense forces.
