Which Factors Are Boosting Growth In The Secure Data Destruction Market?
The escalating concerns surrounding data security are anticipated to fuel the expansion of the secure data destruction market in the future. Data security concerns encompass a wide range of issues associated with safeguarding data against unauthorized entry, corruption, breaches, or theft. An upward trend in data security issues can be attributed to the rise in cyber threats, regulatory mandates, and the increasing spread of digital devices and platforms. Secure data destruction contributes to easing such concerns by permanently deleting sensitive data from storage mediums, thereby curbing the chances of unauthorized access and data infringements. For example, a Data Breach Report from October 2023 by the Identity Theft Resource Center, a non-profit organization based in the United States, reveals that the number of data breaches in the first three quarters of 2023 escalated to 2,116, surpassing the previous record of 1,862 breaches in 2021. These rising data security concerns, thus, are propelling the growth of the secure data destruction market.
