Analysis of Market Size & Trends

The Global Access Control as a Service (ACaaS) Market size is expected to reach $2.3 billion by 2028, rising at a market growth of 15.0% CAGR during the forecast period.

Access control as a service (ACaaS) describes the provision of subscription-based services and solutions to regulate access to web applications and services provided by an organization. To monitor access remotely, backup, and store data securely, it combines on-site access control devices with software and servers kept at data centers.

Across sectors, ACaaS is used to attest to and empower people, enhancing physical security at various sites. Administrators may primarily manage their web-hosted infrastructure with ACaaS. It offers customers access to a wide range of capabilities, including user authentication and authorization, support for the Windows Identity Foundation, well-known web identity services, and numerous additional platforms and services for identification and authorization.

SaaS applications are increasingly being used across all business areas by really successful companies. With demand continuing to rise, the industry is projected to experience significant expansion over the next years. However, rising SaaS use, such as file-sharing, file-storage, messaging, etc., poses problems since it causes important company data to leave the perimeter's perimeter security and rely more on the individual security measures of each SaaS service.

The market turbulence was influenced by changes in the IT and telecom industries, digital transformations throughout industries, and the faltering global economy. Over the past few years, the market for access control as a service has steadily increased. Additionally, to expand the market, solution providers are always encouraging R&D investments to create new, customized solutions and services.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic has raised the demand for access control as a service as businesses have moved to digital platforms. The market's initial reaction to COVID-19 was muted. A decline in supply and demand has halted the expansion of IT infrastructure. Businesses that offer solutions and services are also predicted to stop operating temporarily. But it's expected that the use of collaborative apps, security measures, analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI) will increase in the 2nd half of the year. Businesses and governments were compelled to handle analytical issues that arose during the execution of critical business decisions throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

Market Growth Factors
