Global Cloud DLP Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Organization Size, By Vertical (BFSI, IT & Telecom, Retail & Consumer Goods, Manufacturing, Government & Public Sector, Energy & Utilities, Healthcare & Life Sciences), By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2022 - 2028

Analysis of Market Size & Trends

The Global Cloud DLP Market size is expected to reach $11 billion by 2028, rising at a market growth of 27.9% CAGR during the forecast period.

Data loss prevention (DLP) solutions protect sensitive data from being vulnerably stored, utilized, or transmitted. By protecting the data, the likelihood of data theft or unlawful disclosure is diminished. Cloud DLP solutions protect businesses that have embraced cloud storage specifically by preventing sensitive data from accessing the cloud before even being encrypted. Data can then be exchanged with authorized cloud apps after encryption. The majority of these solutions modifies or erases sensitive data before sharing it on the cloud to ensure data security throughout data transfer and cloud storage.

The expansion of the market is being fueled by regulatory, compliance, and enforcement requirements, as well as a rapid increase in cloud use. Moreover, increased employee mobility and the BYOD culture are driving the expansion of the cloud DLP market. During the forecast period, expanding data sprawl is anticipated to give several chances for market advancement.

The fast-rising occurrences of data breaches and other variables, like DLP-as-a-service, DLP capabilities that extend into the cloud, and improved threat prevention, have boosted the worldwide emphasis on data loss protection solutions dramatically. As the requirement for digital assets has expanded, the volume of organized and unstructured data has grown exponentially, necessitating data security services with a specific focus on data-centric companies.

Many companies across different industries are becoming more aware of the benefits of cloud computing technology and hence, are investing heavily in the adoption of advanced solutions for better business operations.

Market Restraining Factors

Restricted Control and Features Along With Bandwidth Problem

When a business sends all of its data to the cloud, it loses track over that data, and it becomes difficult for the IT department to have complete visibility and control over it. To reduce expenses, businesses opt for cloud services with restricted functionality. If businesses do not select for customization according to their needs, cloud services would be difficult to administer and their security may be jeopardized. Even if the number of servers is decreased, businesses would still want backup and recovery. When transferring data to the cloud, organizations cannot eliminate all servers and personnel.

Component Outlook

On the basis of component, the cloud DLP market is bifurcated into Solution and Service. The service segment acquired a significant revenue share in the cloud DLP market in 2021. This is due to the increased use of cloud-based solutions by businesses in order to remain competitive and productive. In addition, there are many companies which are providing data protection services to their clients to make their process hassle-free.

Organization Size Outlook

Based of enterprise size, the cloud DLP market is segmented into Large enterprises and SMEs. The large enterprises segment garnered the maximum revenue share in the cloud DLP market in 2021. Large companies have been operating in a highly saturated market where they have little opportunities for expansion. Since these companies are of a greater scale and have diverse IT infrastructures, the importance of cloud DLP increases for the protection of organizational data.

Vertical Outlook

By industry vertical, the cloud DLP market is classified into BFSI, IT & Telecommunication, Energy & Utilities, Government & Public Sector, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Retail & Consumer Goods, Manufacturing and Others. The BFSI segment acquired the highest revenue share in the cloud DLP market in 2021. In the BFSI sector, cloud data loss prevention serves a crucial role by preventing the loss or disclosure of critical data. This maintains the protection of both personal and financial data and prevents any cybersecurity risks, like identity theft, ransomware attacks, etc.
