Paper-based identity documents are giving way to digital credentials at an unprecedented pace driving rapid. Digital Identity is poised to fundamentally change the way identity is defined, valued, and used.
Digital credentials can be based on a number of rapidly advancing technologies including smart chips and cards, Bluetooth, NFC, RFID, and blockchain.

Acuity National ID Program projections
There are 136 countries that currently have or will implement National eID programs by 2021.
Annual issuance will peak in 2019 at 679 million chip based eIDs or card based systems that integrate biometrics annually. National eID solutions will generate more than $54 billion in revenue between 2016 to 2021.
Today, 82% of all countries issuing National IDs have implemented eID programs that depend on eID chip cards or plastic cards and biometrics. This accounts for 89% of all National IDs issued.
By 2021, this number will grow to 92% of all National IDs issued with more than 3.6 billion National eIDs in circulation.
