The email encryption market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The expansion of the email encryption market has been remarkable in the past few years. The market that was valued at $7.75 billion in 2024, is projected to enlarge to $9.49 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.4%.
Factors such as concerns surrounding data privacy, compliance rules, the surge in cyber threats, the growing application of mobile devices, and the globalization of commerce have contributed to the historically seen growth.
The email encryption market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for email encryption is anticipated to witness tremendous expansion in the coming years. It is projected to escalate to $23.01 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.8%.
This growth over the forecast period can be accredited to factors such as evolving advanced threats, the need for secure remote work, threats from quantum computing, and improved user experience. The predicted trends for this period consist of infusion with collaboration utilities, complete encryption, encryption solutions based on the cloud, advanced threat protection and easy-to-use encryption interfaces.
The increasing cases of enterprise email risks are projected to stimulate the expansion of the email encryption market. Enterprise email threats involve cybercriminals impersonating reliable organizations to gain access to confidential information through deceptive emails. Email encryption employs sophisticated technology to provide businesses with comprehensive email encryption, safeguarding against risks associated with these emails. As an illustration, Acronis, a Swiss firm specializing in cybersecurity and data protection, reported a 293% increase in email attacks in the first half of 2024 compared to the same timeframe in 2023. Therefore, the growing frequency of enterprise email threats is fuelling the advancement of the email encryption market.

The trend of transitioning from conventional email encryption mechanisms to innovative email encryption methods is increasingly becoming popular in the email encryption market. Enhanced email security safeguards data by encrypting email content during transmission. Several prominent companies are adopting cutting-edge technologies like client-side encryption to fortify the security of their organizational emails. For instance, Google LLC, an American tech firm, introduced client-side encryption in the mobile Gmail application for business security in October 2023. This functionality encrypts data on the sender's end prior to transmission to the recipient's device, signifying that only the sender and recipient can decrypt the information, excluding others, including Google itself which bolsters security.
