Homomorphic Encryption Market by Type (Partially, Somewhat, and Fully), by Component (Solutions and Services), by Application (Secure Data Computation, Data Monetization, Data Privacy, and Regulatory Compliance), and by End-User (BFSI, Healthcare, Government, and Others)- Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast 2023-2030

Market Definition

The global Homomorphic Encryption Market size was valued at 189.5 million in 2022 and is predicted to reach 358.9 million by 2030 with a CAGR of 8.3% from 2023-2030. Homomorphic encryption is a cryptographic technique that allows computations to be performed on encrypted data without the need for decryption. It enables data to remain encrypted while still being processed, preserving privacy and security. With homomorphic encryption, computations can be conducted on the encrypted data, and the results can be obtained in an encrypted form, which can then be decrypted to reveal the desired output. This innovative encryption method has significant applications in secure cloud computing, data privacy, and confidential data processing.

Market Dynamics and Trends

The demand for homomorphic encryption is increasing due to the growing adoption of cloud computing and the need for secure data storage and transmission. Homomorphic encryption provides a secure way to store and transmit data in the cloud. It enables data to be processed while remaining encrypted, eliminating the need to decrypt it beforehand.

Also, the rising concern about data privacy and security, as businesses and individuals are becoming increasingly aware of the risks of data breaches and cyber-attacks is further boosting the growth of the market. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s?internet crime report 2022, 800,944 complaints of cyber-crime were reported to the FBI, a 5 percent decrease from 2021 in the U.S. However, the potential total loss increased to USD 10.2 billion in 2022, up from USD 6.9 billion in 2021. Homomorphic encryption can protect against these threats by providing an additional layer of security for sensitive data.

Additionally, government in various countries has implemented data protection, privacy laws and industry specific regulations to protect sensitive data and ensure privacy, which in turn boosts the market growth. According to UNCTAD data, 66% of the nations of the world safeguard people’s data and privacy, an 11% increase in the adoption of data protection and privacy legislation in the period 2015-2020.

However, the high computational complexity and cost associated with homomorphic encryption are the factors restraining the growth of the market. Homomorphic encryption algorithms require high computational power and resources, which can be expensive and time-consuming for businesses to implement and maintain. On the other hand, the introduction of fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), enabling a broader range of computations on encrypted data is expected to create ample growth opportunities for the market in the future. FHE allows complex computations to be carried out on encrypted data, making it extremely powerful.

Market Segmentation and Scope of Study

The global homomorphic encryption market report is segmented on the basis of type, component, application, end-user, and geography. Based on type, the market is classified into partially, somewhat, and fully. Based on the components, the market is segmented into solutions and services. Solution is further subdivided into encrypted data analytics, encrypted ai/ml data modelling, encrypted database querying, encrypted biometrics and behavioral data, and encrypted data linkage. Service is further sub segmented into managed service and professional service. On the basis of application, the market is categorized into secure data computation, data monetization, data privacy, and regulatory compliance. On the basis of end users, the market is bifurcated into BFSI, healthcare, government, and others. Geographical breakdown and analysis of each of the aforesaid classifications include regions comprising of North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and RoW.

Geographical Analysis

North America dominates the global homomorphic encryption market share and is expected to remain dominant in the market throughout the forecast period. This is attributed to the rising demand for data security and privacy as the number of data theft is increasing in North American countries including the United States. According to a report published by Federal Trade Commission in February 2022, shows that consumers in the United States reported losing more than USD 5.8 billion to frauds in 2021.

Moreover, the availability of developed IT infrastructure along with rising investment in cutting-edge technology such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and others are further boosting the growth of the global market. For instance, in June 2021 Pentagon and the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) jointly planned to spend USD 874 million on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies in 2022.

On the other hand, Europe shows substantial growth in the global homomorphic encryption market owing to the increasing focus on data privacy and security in the region. In March 8, 2023, the UK government presented the Data Protection and Digital Information (No. 2) Bill to the Parliament. The primary aim of this bill is to modernize and streamline the data protection laws in the U.K., along with specific other legislations. The process of passing the bill through Parliament is anticipated to conclude by the end of 2023.

Moreover, in August 2022, the UK government announced its plans to introduce a Data Reform Bill with the intent to create a new data regime and enhance data protection regulation under its overarching National Data Strategy. This is expected to give individuals greater a clarity over their rights and a clearer sense of how to determine access to, and benefit from their own data.

In addition, the increasing use of big data analytics and the development of new homomorphic encryption technologies in government sectors are also contributing to the growth of the market in Europe. For instance, in February 2022, the European Commission proposed a draft of a regulation on harmonized rules on fair access to and use of data also known as the Data Act. The Data Act is part of the Commission’s broader digital and data strategy to make “Europe fit for the Digital Age”

Competitive Landscape

The homomorphic encryption industry includes several market players such as Cosmian Tech, Desilo Inc., Duality Technologies Inc., Galois, Inc, Google LLC, IBM Corporation, Intel Corporation, Microsoft Corporation, Netskope, Inc, and Thales Group. These market players are adopting various strategies such as innovation and collaboration to maintain their dominance in the global market.

For instance, in October 2022, Duality Technologies, launched the first enterprise-ready privacy-enhanced data collaboration platform that enables organizations to share and jointly analyze sensitive data while ensuring privacy and regulatory compliance. This production-ready platform comes equipped with unparalleled data science and performance capabilities that significantly reduce the time to carry out encrypted queries on large datasets across any environment or cloud.

Also, in March 2021, Intel collaborated with Microsoft and signed an agreement with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to perform in its Data Protection in Virtual Environments (DPRIVE) program. This programme is aimed to develop an accelerator for fully homomorphic encryption (FHE).

Moreover, in December 2020, IBM Security launched a new service that allows companies to experiment with fully homomorphic encryption (FHE). This is an emerging technology designed to allow data to remain encrypted even while being processed or analyzed in the cloud or third-party environments.
