U.S. Hardware Encryption Market Outlook: 2026
The U.S. hardware encryption market size was valued at $28.08 billion in 2018, and is projected to reach $259.12 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 32.4% from 2019 to 2026.
Hardware encryption involves encoding of data or information into a form, which is accessible to only authorized users. Encoding of the hardware requires an encrypting algorithm that generates cipher text, which can be read only after decryption. Decoding this private data needs an authorized user to type in a key or a password. In hardware-based encryption process, both the encryption and decryption are carried out by individual processors. Encryption and decryption processes play an important role in preventing unauthorized access to sensitive or private data, hence the hardware encryption market is expected to grow at a high rate in the coming years. Hardware encryption helps the user to protect confidential data during transmission and storage. With the advancements in technology, leading U.S. hardware encryption market players are developing various hardware-encrypted solutions to cater to the increase in demand in the storage industry.
