Market Trends of Data Masking Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Data Masking Market according to our research experts:
The BFSI Industry to Witness a Significant Growth
- The BFSI industry is one of the critical infrastructure segments that face multiple data breaches and privacy issues, owing to the massive customer base that the sector serves and the financial information at stake. Cybercriminals are optimizing various diabolical cyberattacks to immobilize the financial sector as a highly lucrative operation model with phenomenal returns and the added upside of relatively low risk and detectability. These attacks' threat landscape ranges from Trojans, ATMs, ransomware, mobile banking malware, data breaches, institutional invasion, data thefts, fiscal breaches, etc.
- Banks, insurance firms, credit bureaus, and lenders rely on data to understand and build deeper relationships with their consumers and determine whether the market fluctuates and maintains stable growth. However, this valuable data is being sought by both cybercriminals and insiders, and data privacy regulators are growing more demanding in their compliance requirements. Data masking tools help to safely design innovative, personalized experiences for their customers.
- In April 2021, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) proposed cybersecurity norms for payment service providers (PSPs) following a series of data breaches faced by operators, including Mobikwik and payment aggregator JusPay. While the standards for fintech-driven payment services providers would be like cyber hygiene norms issued for banks and non-banking finance companies, the RBI is quite clear that firms will have to do more than observe the minimum standards to ensure digital safety transactions gain further traction.
- In 2022, financial firms worldwide were impacted by innovative new ransomware tactics that maximized ROI for the threat actors. While financial firms represent a small percentage of victims directly targeted by ransomware attacks, they can and have been impacted by attacks on third parties, who are prime targets. Such threats are poised to increase the usage of cybersecurity solutions in the BFSI sector.

Asia Pacific is Expected to be the Fastest Growing Market
- The Asia Pacific is expected to witness a higher growth rate than other regions because developing countries, such as India and China, are the world's two biggest economies. Automotive industries in the region increased over the past few years. The growth in these industries was propelled by a vast population shift and an increase in disposable incomes, which resulted in higher demand.
- Currently, these two countries are growing faster, and many developmental activities are being done here to set up new manufacturing industries and product launches. All these activities contribute to big data. Lots of data are being stored daily, which is very crucial. The rapid digitization among developing countries, such as India, China, and Singapore, has produced the bulk of unstructured data.
- Furthermore, owing to technological advancements, there is an increase in the number of connected devices in China. It is the largest global Internet of Things (IoT) market. Furthermore, 5G and 5 G-enabled devices will exponentially increase the devices' interconnectivity. As a result, it increases connected devices, directly augmenting the market's need for security products. The websites are thereby prone to be manipulated and impersonated by third parties, and sensitive user data communicated with the website can be intercepted more easily by foreign intelligence agencies.
- On the other hand, the increasing adoption of public cloud computing is leading to more enterprises re-allocating their business systems to cloud platforms. Issues concerning data security, tenant isolation, access control, etc., have gradually become a focal point of these enterprises.
- Data privacy has become a hot topic in China since the Chinese government has actively publicized data privacy rules and regulations in recent years. The Cybersecurity Law (CSL) (2017), the Data Security Law (DSL) (2021), and the Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL) have all been published and are currently in effect. For instance, in June 2022, China published the final version of the Certification Specification for Cross-Border Processing of Personal Information, which could provide companies with guidance on how to have their cross-border data transfer certified as one of the legal routes for business operators to transfer personal information outside China.
