Certificate Authority Market - Competitive Landscape and Trends by Forecast 2030

Market Growth Factors

Increased frequency of HTTPS phishing assaults

The recent push for HTTPS awareness has unintentionally led visitors to accept and trust any website employing HTTPS without questioning. Users have shown terrifying amounts of trust in websites displaying these characteristics without necessarily knowing how trustworthy they are, or even if they're an unauthorized replica of a website, due to the familiarity of seeing HTTPS in a web browser alongside the reassuring green padlock. Due to this development, hackers have increased the amount of HTTPS phishing websites to take advantage of end users' confidence and use it against them. By obtaining SSL/TLS certificates from recognized certificate authorities, legitimate websites can demonstrate their legitimacy and encrypt the communication method, making it more challenging for hackers to intercept or alter sensitive data. Thus, the market will grow in the upcoming years as HTTPS usage increases.

Exponential growth in IoT trends acceptance across industry verticals

IoT traffic is projected to grow rapidly as companies across industries adopt IoT-enabled devices to improve operational efficiency and communication. However, the rapidly growing popularity of these IoT devices implies considerable room for future cyberattacks. As a result, numerous companies that deal with private and sensitive corporate information are anticipated to adopt a certificate authority. Security professionals can more effectively track users who access networks from numerous locations, the apps they use, and specific access periods through this tactic. It enables businesses to utilize their current IoT infrastructure and ensures safe and scalable certificate administration. The demand for privacy authority further increases due to the adoption of IoT across several industry sectors. During the forecast period, it is anticipated for demand to rise in the market.

Market Restraining Factors

Utilizing self-signed certificates

For commercial or financial websites that handle memberships, subscriptions, or anything identical, self-signed certificates are extremely dangerous. Attackers that issue self-signed certificates that can be used in man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks expose users to data theft and other breaches. Lack of visibility is the self-signed certificates' major problem. Organizations can monitor certificates issued by certificate authorities. However, it is extremely difficult to track self-signed certificates that were granted without any formal request or approval process. If the corporate network is infiltrated, there is no way to determine whether a self-signed certificate (and its private key) has been compromised. As a result, users can get puzzled and worried about their security, which might make them reluctant to interact with systems that use self-signed certificates. These variables may adversely affect the market.

Vertical Outlook

On the basis of vertical, market is categorised into BFSI, retail & ecommerce, government & defense, healthcare & life sciences, IT & telecom, travel & hospitality, education, and others. The BFSI segment witnessed the largest revenue share in the market in 2022. Phishing attacks and other identity theft frauds frequently target banks, credit unions, and other financial organizations. The industry is concentrating increasingly on online transaction security due to a significant increase in phishing and social engineering occurrences. These factors are causing the use of SSL certificates to increase, boosting the market.

Offering Outlook

Online data privacy is the main benefit of authenticating with digital certificates. These digital certificates protect private data by encrypting all communications, including logins, emails, and online banking transactions, preventing them from being viewed by unauthorized parties.
