Privacy Enhancing Technologies Market Size & Forecast

Privacy Enhancing Technologies Market Size & Forecast

The Privacy Enhancing Technologies Market was valued at approximately USD 2.45 Billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a substantial CAGR of around 25% during the forecast period (2024-2032) owing to the rising adoption of homomorphic encryption & secure computation.

Privacy Enhancing Technologies Market Analysis

The PETs market is defined as the solution market aimed at preserving the privacy of data and at the same time, facilitating their processing, sharing, and analysis. Some of these technologies are encryption, computing, and anonymization applied in various organizations such as the finance sector, health sector, and artificial intelligence sector. PETs enable these organizations to meet their data privacy requirements such as those stipulated by the GDPR and the CCPA, as well as to achieve the goal of data utility. The market is primarily influenced by the rising cyber threats, strict rules and regulations, and growing emphasis on privacy-preserving data analytics.

To enhance the usage of PETs, companies implement homomorphic encryption for secure cloud computing, federated learning for private AI model training, and secure enclaves for confidential data processing in organizations. Industry giants such as IBM, Microsoft, and Google introduce privacy preservation in analytical process and confidential computing to improve security while allowing data utilization. The use of privacy-centric advertisements or ad-awareness and progression of identification solutions based on distributed ledger also fuels PET acceptance. Due to the constant changes, the regulatory enforcement of data privacy has made firms integrate PETs into cybersecurity models as a strategy to stand out for compliance.

For instance, on June 27, 2024, The U.S. National Science Foundation published a new investment to advance privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) and promote their use to solve real-world problems. The Privacy-Preserving Data Sharing in Practice (PDaSP) program, which aligns with a tasking in the recent "Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence" (AI EO), will enhance the ability to privately share and analyze data for a range of use cases and applications, including those of significant interest to federal agencies.

Mainstream Adoption of Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) Transforms Privacy Enhancing Technologies Industry

The deployment of Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) is becoming more widespread as companies continue to look for an effective way of performing computationally intensive tasks without disclosing the inputs to it. FHE enables the processing of the encrypted data without the need for decryption which allows security in cloud computing and AI as well as anonymity in financial dealings. Big industries and brands such as IBM, Microsoft, and Google have embraced FHE as a way through which data security and confidential computing can be improved.

On January 17, 2025, Niobium developed co-processors that provide hardware-based acceleration for fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), enabling data to remain encrypted even while in use.

For instance, on October 13, 2022, Vaultree announced the release of its Data-in-Use Encryption for Google’s AlloyDB. As a launch partner with Google’s AlloyDB, the offering pairs the world's first fully functional Encryption-in-use solution powered by Vaultree with Google’s AlloyDB for PostgreSQL. Users will now be able to trial running Vaultree’s fully homomorphic and searchable encryption technology in the cloud, representing a breakthrough in encryption standards to enable next-generation encryption and data protection.

Privacy Enhancing Technologies Market Segment

North America leads the market.

North America remains the largest revenue-generating geographic market [for PETs] because of legislation such as the CCPA in California and increasing levels of cybersecurity threats. The driving forces are high-growth investments in artificial intelligence and cloud computing, particularly in the financial services industry where privacy-preserving solutions are a requirement. Some of the emerging technology areas where the requirement for homomorphic encryption, federated learning, and secure computation has increased are BFSI and healthcare. Currently, organizations in the area are adopting PETs into cyber security and data management structures to abide to the guidelines.

On February 7, 2022, IAB Tech Lab, the digital advertising technical standard-setting body, announced the newly formed Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) Working Group. This new workstream invites developers working on advanced cryptography, data scientists, privacy and security systems engineers, and others in the digital advertising community to come together to develop privacy-enhancing standards and software tools for the digital advertising industry.
