The APAC & MEA identity theft protection and verification market is projected to reach US$ 9,232.35 million by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 14.1% from 2023 to 2028.
APAC and MEA are witnessing a steep growth in online gaming, primarily fueled by the penetration of mobile internet and smartphones. China, Japan, and South Korea are the leading online gaming markets, while Malaysia, Indonesia, India, Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore, and Vietnam are witnessing a steep spike in the mobile gaming sector. The pandemic compelled people to stay indoors longer, increasing the acceptance of online games. According to Niko Partners, China's e-sports business was worth US$ 403.1 million in 2022, recording a rise of 14% from 2020. Similarly, the online gambling business is witnessing a considerable rise in both regions. As per SBC Events, the most popular online gambling sites generated US$ 72.2 billion from APAC in 2019, which was 47% of the global share. Sporting events-including the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar and the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France-are further fueling the online gambling market in the region. Online gaming and gambling users are at risk of identity theft since fraudsters use stolen identities and fake documents to access existing accounts or create new ones. These accounts are also used to siphon off money from unsuspecting victims' bank accounts before withdrawing it elsewhere. Hence, the growth of the gambling and gaming industry offers the APAC & MEA identity theft protection and verification market growth opportunities.
The widespread integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) aids in boosting APAC & MEA identity theft protection and verification market size.
