Encryption software is a type of security software that allows encryption and decryption of a data stream at rest or during transport. It allows the encryption of the content of a data object, file, network package or application, so that it is secure and not visible to unauthorized users. Typically, each data packet or file that is encrypted using encryption software requires a key that must be decrypted in its original form. This key is generated by the software itself and is shared between the data transmitter and the receiver. Although encrypted information is extracted or compromised, its original content cannot be retrieved without the encryption key. Some of the encryption softwares including file encryption, email encryption, disk encryption and network encryption are extensively used among the enterprises.

The major factors driving the growth of global encryption software market includes Strict regulatory standards and compliances with data privacy, growing issues of critical data losses and increasing penetration of cloud & virtualization technologies in the encryption softwares. In general, cloud-based encryption software solutions have several benefits such as cost-effectiveness, scalability, effective management, and easy data maintenance. In addition, rising penetration of smartphones along with growing improvements in mobile technologies coupled with software & hardware, their proliferation among organizations are some others factors propelling the growth of global encryption software market during forecast period. Moreover, growing adoption of enterprise mobility & IoT among the organizations, increasing adoption of integrated data protection solutions and rising demand of EaaS across small & medium-sized enterprises, are some factors that will create opportunities for the growth of global encryption software market in upcoming years. Small & medium-sized companies in different industries do not have strict security measures to protect their data, networks, terminals and applications. The demand for cloud-based solutions is increasing rapidly in SMEs in order to fulfil the requirement of IT security. On the other hand, lack of skilled professionals across the industries and availability of free & open source encryption softwares are some factors hampering the growth of global encryption software market.

Based on region, Asia-Pacific is expected to grow at higher CAGR during forecast period due to the growing investment made by public & private sectors for secure and ensure privacy of sensitive data, thereby increased the demand of encryption software in the market.
