COVID-19 IMPACT

Remote Work Culture Boosted Privacy Software Market Growth Amid Pandemic

During the pandemic period, various businesses and organizations witnessed temporary and permanent shutdowns. Also, major data breaches and cyber incidents occurred globally. As per Moneylife’s article, organizations such as BigBasket faced a data breach in March 2021, where the data of 20 million customers was hacked. Similarly, Twitter data breaches occurred in January 2020. The growing concern of losing personal data to hackers surges the demand for data privacy software across developing nations. Thus, organizations are implementing software, owing to growing cyber breaches as various countries opted for data privacy laws to reduce the misuse of customers’ personal data.

For instance, to manage the personally identifiable information (PII) of COVID-19-positive employees, various countries introduced healthcare guidelines. The companies could disclose the data of COVID-19-positive employees as per these guidelines. With the implementation of the software, the organizations enabled the verification of shared content. Thus, during 2020, the software witnessed slow growth, owing to sudden changes in the work environment. However, post-2020, the software is expected to gain remarkable growth.

Rising Government Regulations on Data Privacy to Surge the Demand for Data Privacy Solutions

The growing concerns about data privacy have forced the governments of various countries to implement data privacy enforcement laws and regulations. For instance, the European Union launched a regulation as “General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)” in response to the growing misuse of individuals’ personal data. The law was introduced to provide safety, protection, and rights to the individual to restrict its data usage by businesses and other organizations. Similarly, in December 2020, the U.S. introduced the “California Consumer Privacy Act” to empower California citizens with more control over their shared data. Likewise, in September 2020, to protect 140 million internet users’ private data, the Brazilian General Data Protection Law LGPD (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais) was introduced by the government of Brazil. Along with this, the government has 40 more industry or segment-specific data protection laws.

With such stringent regulations, organizations face challenges such as processing individual collected data securely and without violating any law. Organizations are facing difficulties in managing different country-specific regulations. These conditions have surged the demand for data privacy software. The software assists the organization in compliance with the policies and rules for data protection. Thus, the growth in data protection act worldwide is likely to drive the data privacy software market growth.

DRIVING FACTORS

Rising Adoption of IoT Devices to Aid Global Data Privacy Software Market Growth

The data security management software demand is growing owing to rising IoT devices across industries such as manufacturing, BFSI, healthcare, and others.
