The data loss prevention market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In the past few years, the market size of data loss prevention has experienced a tremendous increase. The projection estimates an escalation from a worth of $2.92 billion in 2024 to $3.7 billion in 2025, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.9%.
This historical growth can be traced back to factors such as the uptick in data breaches, the surge in the use of cloud computing, the ever-evolving complexity of cyberattacks, and the continuous expansion of data volumes.
The data loss prevention market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Anticipated to witness substantial growth in the upcoming years, the market size of data loss prevention is predicted to reach $9.76 billion in 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.5%.
Factors contributing to this growth during the prediction period are an increasing mobile workforce, growing consciousness of data protection significance, the consistent expansion of managed dlp services, and the advancement of IoT. Key trends predicted during this period are the implementation of a zero trust architecture, data categorization and tagging, behavioral analytics, and integration with soar.
The rise in data breach incidents is anticipated to drive the expansion of the data loss prevention market in the future. A data breach is the unauthorized access, disclosure or compromise of sensitive, protected or confidential information. Data loss prevention (DLP) refers to the methods employed to identify and halt data breaches, illicit data transfer, or the accidental destruction of sensitive information through the application of various strategies and technologies to detect, deter and lessen the loss or unauthorized access of essential data. For example, in April 2024, the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, a UK government agency, reported that an estimated 22% of businesses and 14% of charities experienced cyber crime in the preceding year. This statistic jumps to 45% for medium businesses, 58% for large businesses, and 37% for high-earning charities. Interestingly, of the 50% businesses and 32% charities that encountered cybersecurity breaches or attacks, just around two in five (44% of businesses and 42% of charities) were actually affected by cyber crime. Thus, the increase in data breach instances is stimulating the growth of the data loss prevention market.
