DATA PROTECTION MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

• 

• to learn more about this report

The global data protection market size was USD 61330 million in 2019 and the market is projected to touch USD 113390 million by 2026, exhibiting a CAGR of 9.1% during the forecast period.

The data protection market is a dynamic and evolving sector driven by the increasing digitization of businesses and the growing threats to data security. Encryption technologies play a fundamental role in ensuring that sensitive information remains secure both in transit and at rest. Data loss prevention (DLP) solutions are essential for monitoring and controlling data transfers to prevent unauthorized disclosure, while identity and access management (IAM) systems help organizations manage user identities and enforce access controls to sensitive data resources.

As organizations face stricter data privacy regulations such as GDPR in Europe and CCPA in the United States, compliance with these regulations has become a significant driver of investment in data protection technologies. The consequences of non-compliance, including hefty fines and reputational damage, underscore the importance of robust data protection measures. Consequently, businesses are adopting backup and recovery solutions to mitigate the risks of data loss or corruption, especially in the event of a breach or natural disaster.

COVID-19 Impact: Market Growth Restrained by Pandemic due to Supply Chain Disruptions

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

With the sudden shift to remote work arrangements, organizations faced increased challenges in securing data accessed from various locations outside traditional office environments. The expanded attack surface introduced by remote work heightened the importance of endpoint security solutions, virtual private networks (VPNs), and secure authentication mechanisms to protect sensitive data. Cybercriminals capitalized on the uncertainty and vulnerabilities brought about by the pandemic, leading to a surge in cybersecurity threats such as phishing attacks, ransomware incidents, and data breaches

The pandemic accelerated the adoption of cloud services and infrastructure to support remote work and digital collaboration. As organizations migrated more data and applications to the cloud, ensuring the security of cloud environments became a top priority. Cloud security solutions, including encryption, access controls, and monitoring tools, experienced increased demand to mitigate the risks associated with cloud-based data storage and processing.
