The digital trust market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, there's been significant growth in the size of the digital trust market. An increase from $410.06 billion in 2024 to $487.78 billion in 2025 is predicted, indicating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.0%.
Factors behind the growth in the past include escalating data breaches and privacy worries, initiatives relating to digital transformation, strict regulatory needs, and an increasing adoption rate of digital transformation.
The digital trust market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Anticipated to experience swift expansion in the coming years, the size of the digital trust market is projected to reach $963.9 billion by 2029, boasting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.6%.
This growth over the forecast period is predicted to be driven by factors such as the spread of IoT, the adoption of 5G and zero trust architecture, and speedy cloud migration. The forecast span also foresees significant trends like the use of blockchain for trust verification, adoption of decentralized identity solutions, quantum-safe cryptography, standards for interoperability, and AI-driven threat intelligence.
The surge in cybersecurity threats is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the digital trust market. Cybersecurity threats encompass a range of potential hazards that can jeopardize the safety of digital systems and information. The digital metamorphosis of businesses and entities has hastened the adoption of cloud computing, working remotely, and online services, bringing new intricacies and susceptibilities into IT systems. Digital trust plays a crucial role in countervailing cybersecurity threats by enhancing security, openness, cooperation, resilience, and responsibility in the digital realm through cultivating trust amongst stakeholders and adopting strong cybersecurity protocols. For example, the Australian Cyber Security Centre, a government agency based in Australia, reported in an annual cyber threat analysis in January 2024, that more than 76,000 cybercrime reports were lodged from 2021 to 2022, showing nearly a 13% rise compared to the year before. Hence, the escalating cybersecurity threats are propelling the expansion of the digital trust market.
