Juniper Research has found that the number of digital identity apps in use will exceed 6.2 billion in 2025, from over 1 billion in 2020.

Besides, civic identity apps will account for almost 90% of digital identity apps installed globally in 2025.

They will overtake the number of digital identity cards in use in 2023, with the number of apps in use 41% higher than cards by 2025.
