Liminal Report Projects $10.4 Billion Global Market for Age Assurance by 2029

New Research Reveals How Businesses Can Strengthen Trust and Safety, Ensure Compliance, and Protect Minors with Seamless, Accurate Age Verification in a Growing Digital Market

NEW YORK, Nov. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Liminal, a technology leader in market and competitive intelligence, has released its latest report, The Market and Buyer’s Guide for Age Assurance. The report forecasts the age assurance market to grow from $5.7 billion in 2025 to $10.4 billion by 2029, at a 17.3% annual growth rate. As regulatory demands around age verification intensify, Liminal’s report guides businesses to find compliant, user-friendly solutions that accurately verify users’ ages without compromising customer experience.

As trust and safety concerns grow, age assurance is key for companies protecting young users while ensuring compliance.

“As online trust and safety concerns grow, age assurance has become essential for businesses committed to protecting young users while remaining compliant,” said Filip Verley, Chief Innovation Officer at Liminal. “Our research sheds light on the complex regulatory landscape and provides actionable guidance to help companies implement effective, user-friendly solutions. Organizations that prioritize trust and safety, backed by secure and compliant age assurance, will lead the way in building safer digital environments.”

The report emphasizes the rising demand for age assurance in gaming, e-commerce, and adult content sectors. Age verification is critical to compliance with regulations like the UK’s Age Appropriate Design Code and GDPR. Emerging industries such as social media and video gaming also prioritize age assurance to protect children from harmful content while ensuring compliance. Age assurance solutions typically fall into two key categories: age estimation, which uses passive data signals to predict a user’s age, and age verification, which confirms age through document-based or biometric methods.

With regulations expanding, businesses face pressure to adopt effective age assurance solutions to avoid significant financial penalties and protect consumer trust. However, this requires balancing compliance with minimal disruption to user experience. “Companies are challenged to find a balance between accuracy, privacy, and ease of use,” Verley added. “Inadequate systems can result in user drop-off or legal risks, so striking this balance is crucial for maintaining a competitive edge.”

Key Insights from the 2024 Market and Buyer’s Guide for Age Assurance:

Market Growth Outpaces Awareness – Despite 17.3% annual growth, many leaders struggle to keep up with regulatory demands and available solutions, especially those integrating compliance, user experience, and fraud protection.Balancing Accuracy and Experience – Nearly half of businesses feel forced to choose between compliance and user retention. Integrated Identity Platforms offer a way to meet both needs while safeguarding privacy.Opportunities for Partnership – Collaborating with payment providers and big tech can drive scalable, low-friction age verification through data-driven insights.Surging Fraud Risks – With deepfake and synthetic fraud up 3000% last year, stronger fraud prevention in age assurance has never been more essential.Demand Spikes Across Sectors—Age assurance adoption is accelerating, with coverage in regulated sectors rising to 66% next year and unregulated to 73% next year, fueled by trust and safety, and compliance needs.Selecting the Right Solution—The report offers practical guidance for age assurance solutions that support compliance, build trust, and enhance user experience. It focuses on the latest in age estimation and verification technology.

Liminal’s Market and Buyer’s Guide for Age Assurance equips business leaders to navigate regulatory complexities, optimize user experience, and stay ahead of evolving fraud risks in a fast-growing market. The report offers actionable insights on key adoption drivers, regulatory requirements, and how emerging technologies shape the future of age assurance.

How Schools Can Choose Interactive Donor Recognition That Lasts Beyond GivingTuesday

Published

on

By

Rocket Alumni Solutions outlines practical evaluation criteria for schools seeking to preserve donor stories and support year-round stewardship.

BOSTON, Nov. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — With GivingTuesday and year-end giving approaching, Rocket Alumni Solutions is sharing practical considerations for schools choosing an interactive donor Hall of Fame or digital donor wall. The starting point is the story a school wants to tell: who contributed, what they made possible and how their generosity connects to the community.

A donor’s name can lead visitors to the history of a scholarship, a renovated performing arts space or a program that shaped generations of students. Interactive recognition gives schools room to preserve that context alongside photographs and other media, with collections that can grow as new contributions become part of the school’s history.

For advancement teams, the year-end planning question extends beyond how a display looks at launch. Schools also need to understand how people will find donor stories, who will keep them current and what the project will require over time.

Compare the experience, upkeep and full cost

Schools comparing donor recognition platforms can use six questions to structure demonstrations and written proposals:

Can visitors find the story? Test searches using a donor’s name and browse the collections a visitor would expect. Check whether each profile explains the contribution and its connection to the school.Who keeps recognition current? Ask a staff member to add a profile, correct a name and update a photograph during the demonstration. Confirm who handles content preparation, review and future updates.Can people use it comfortably? Review text readability, contrast, navigation and the physical reach of the campus display. Ask vendors to demonstrate accessibility features and provide documentation for the school’s review.What can each story include? Compare support for photographs, video and written narratives. Confirm any media limits and whether staff can add context without rebuilding the collection.Does it fit the wider school story? Evaluate how donor recognition can sit alongside alumni profiles, academic achievements, arts programs and athletic history while remaining easy to find.What does the written quote cover? Separate recurring software costs from hardware, installation and other services. Confirm content-upload assistance, support hours, renewal terms and responsibility for ongoing maintenance.

Plan for recognition throughout the year

A manageable first collection might focus on scholarship supporters or the people behind a campus project. Before publication, schools should verify names, secure permission for photographs and personal stories, and confirm each donor’s recognition preferences, including requests for anonymity.

Advancement, communications and athletics staff can agree on how stories will be organized and who will approve changes. A clear owner and an update schedule help the collection remain useful after a campaign ends or staff responsibilities change.

Recognition should also be evaluated on its own terms. Schools can review whether profiles are accurate, stories are easy to discover and visitors can use the experience.

Connect campus recognition with online discovery

Rocket Alumni Solutions’ History Showcase supports donor recognition alongside alumni stories, school achievements and historical collections. Recognition sites can be explored on the web as well as on a compatible campus touchscreen, and staff can maintain content through Rocket’s editor.

Schools can bring a sample donor story and their evaluation questions to a demonstration to discuss content preparation, display placement, support and project-specific pricing.

About Rocket Alumni Solutions

Rocket Alumni Solutions partners with more than 1,500 schools and organizations, including the PGA Tour, New York University, Arizona State University and Virginia Tech. The company helps communities celebrate achievements, preserve their history and recognize the people who shaped them.

Rocket Alumni Solutions’ touchscreen software maintains an 80 Net Promoter Score, reflecting exceptional ease of use and customer satisfaction.
