Summary

The global digital signature market size is projected to grow from USD 9.93 billion in 2024 to USD 70.24 billion by 2030 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 38.5% during the forecast period. The digital signature market is expanding with the implementation of stringent regulatory standards and data privacy compliance. The government of many countries has implemented digital signatures for transactions to provide security and authenticity. Digital signatures are promoted as legal means of authentication by eIDAS and ESIGN Act. Businesses are also using digital signatures to improve the customer experience, especially in banking and real estate. Therefore, organizations continue to transform in the digital landscape, demanding for efficient and secure signing solutions is likely to increase.
"By deployment mode, the on-premises segment is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period."
On-premises deployment is expected to hold the largest market size in the digital signature due to its security and compliance advantage. Organizations in regulated sectors, such as healthcare and government, have stringent laws on data protection that need more robust control over the digital signature processes. On-premises solutions enable internal management of sensitive information and minimize risks arising from data breaches associated with cloud services. With growing data privacy concerns, companies want the assurance of on-premises solutions for the tight security protocol of maintaining strict safety and security. With increased trends of digital transformation, digital signature solutions in secure on-premises transactions gain paramount importance.

By software, APIs and SDKs segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
The APIs and SDKs segment of the digital signature market is growing rapidly because of the increased demand for easy integration of digital signature functionalities into applications and workflows in place. As businesses continue to transition to automated and paperless environments, strong software solutions to ensure secure electronic transactions become crucial. APIs and SDKs provide easy integration of digital signature functionality into the developers' systems, thereby enriching the user experience and operational efficiency. The new work patterns and e-commerce models increased the demand for secure signing solutions, making these tools an imperative for organizations that are trying to streamline processes and be at par with legal standards.
