For instance, according to IBM, in 2020, the average cost of a data breach was USD 3.86 million globally, and USD 8.64 million in the U.S. Furthermore, the increased need for data management and protection as a result of the volume of data being produced by different business verticals is also expected to drive the growth of the worldwide database security market. Additionally, database security has also become more popular as a result of the growing demand for effective security solutions for data produced by cutting-edge technologies like IoT, Big Data, and cloud-based services, among others, as well as the need to secure data from hackers.

Based on component, the market is segmented into solutions and services. The solutions segment dominated the data security market in 2021 and is expected to maintain its domination throughout the forecast period. The growth of the segment is mainly attributed to the various benefits that database security software offers such as database auditing, reporting, encryption & tokenization and data masking, etc. Moreover, these software solutions make it easier to store and distribute data in an electronic and safe manner.

On the basis of deployment, the market is segmented into on-premises and cloud. The cloud segment is expected to grow with the largest CAGR during the forecast period. The adoption of the cloud deployment strategy has skyrocketed in the market for database security. Mainly due to its main benefits such as scalability, rapid deployment, low implementation costs, and adaptability. Furthermore, cloud deployment architecture can help with the low-cost, safe storage of massive amounts of data which is expected to drive the segment market during the forecast period. Additionally, it enables companies to focus on their essential operations rather than IT infrastructure management.

Based on industry vertical, the market is segmented into BFSI, retail & e-commerce, government & defense, healthcare, IT & Telecom, and others. The BFSI segment is expected to grow with the largest CAGR during the forecast period. The growing number of online transactions is resulting in the generation of a large amount of confidential consumer data which is expected to drive the market during the forecast period. Furthermore, the growing complexities with sophistication in database attacks are expected to drive the market during the forecast period.
