Privacy protection and information security have become the top priorities for building a digital environment in both organizational and governmental sectors worldwide, which also results in the large-scale growth of the Privacy Enhancing Technology (PET) Market. PET solutions provide various security layers that facilitate secure data transfer and ensure GDPR and CCPA, and HIPAA compliance. Banking and healthcare providers, including retail companies and technology firms, must consider modern data security strategies that utilize data anonymization with encryption and lifecycle security in response to the enormous increase in data.” Along with differential privacy and secure multi-party computation, and federated learning, homomorphic encryption is among the central concepts for current data protection.

For example, in July 2024, the Future of Privacy Forum (FPF) announced an extensive effort to promote Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs). Within that context, over a year, FPF facilitated meetings of senior industry thought leaders with White House policymakers to discuss areas where the US government can encourage partnership and policy progress around privacy innovation.

Expanding Role of Tight Data Privacy Rules Boosts Market Demand

The rising stringency of data protection mandates worldwide acts as a key market driver of the Privacy Enhancing Technology (PET). Regulatory bodies such as the GDPR in Europe, CCPA in California, and similar developments such as LGPD in Brazil and the DPDP Act in India force companies to respect and protect personal data. Violating them carries hefty fines and embarrassment, which are driving businesses in search of solutions amid a dearth of tools developed specifically to solve the issues. Failure to comply may draw both hefty financial penalties and reputational harm, causing organizations to require technologies to enable secure data management. PETs such as encryption, anonymization, and data perturbation contribute to achieving these regulatory requirements by reducing data exposure risks. These tools enable businesses to gather, analyze, and share data compliantly, respecting a user’s privacy. As regulations evolve and expand, organizations increasingly integrate PETs into their data governance strategies, making regulatory pressure a critical and ongoing driver of market growth.

For example, in July 2024, Ant International and NTU Singapore collaborated over the next 5 years to advance research work on Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) to develop digital trust. The agreement, signed on July 16, aims to help companies extract the most value from their data while minimizing the risks of data being compromised.

High Risk of Cybersecurity Attacks and Data Breaches Fuel the Market

Heightened threats to cybersecurity have brought data protection to the forefront for organizations. Well-publicized breaches have compromised millions of records, financial reparation, legal actions, and loss of customer confidence. Enhancing Technologies (PETs) are a promising solution, as they can perform secure data analysis, reduce the disclosure of sensitive data, and aggregate protected analysis results. Technologies such as homomorphic encryption, secure multiparty computation, threats, and differential privacy are being applied to ensure that data remains protected when used or shared. With cloud computing, remote work, and connected systems growing in heavy adoption, the attack surface that threats can exploit has increased greatly. PETs provide protection against unauthorized access, insider threats, and abuse from using private data. With the increase in their complexity, extent, and time of occurrence, there is still a demand for agile privacy technologies, which will continue to drive their adoption, positioning PETs as a key component of modern cybersecurity strategies.

For instance, in June 2024, Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. announced CloudGuard WAF-as-a-Service (WAFaaS). This AI-powered web application firewall delivers automated protections on a pay-as-you-go monthly subscription to help secure web applications. This managed service protects organizations against cyber threats, unauthorized access, and data loss.

BFSI Segment Dominates the Global Privacy Enhancing Technology Market

The global privacy enhancing technology (PET) market is categorized based on its applications, such as the BFSI sector. To reduce threats and to comply with stringent laws like the PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard), BFSI organizations are rapidly implementing PET solutions. These technologies,  including data protection methods (e.g., data encryption, tokenization, and secure multi-party computation), can be used to securely process and share information without requiring the exposure of PII. The increasing incidents of cyberattacks and the growing need for robust preventive and protective mechanisms have driven the demand for PETs in the BFSI sector, making it the largest end-user of the market.

For example, in April 2025, in BFSI, firms are forming strategic data alliances with the ability to offer tailored offerings but compliant with privacy norms. “By working together, our common goals are to achieve trusted data sharing, build customer trust, and ensure regulatory compliance of the evolving data protection laws in today’s digital financial ecosystems.

North America Dominates the Global Privacy Enhancing Technology Market

The global privacy enhancing technology market is dominated by North America due to superior technological advancements and early adoption of regulatory standards. The region also gains from the early uptake of cutting-edge cybersecurity services, digitization in industries across the board, and tough privacy laws such as the CCPA and HIPAA. Businesses have begun to incorporate PET solutions to help them meet compliance and secure sensitive information. Furthermore, the existence of leading technology enterprises and cybersecurity pioneers is also instrumental in aiding the growth of the market. North America’s emphasis on data privacy, safe digital services, and risk management keeps the region the most influential in the world in both directing and leading the global PET industry.

For instance, in September 2025, Salesforce (NYSE: CRM), the global leader in CRM, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Own Company, a global technology and data management and protection company, with its market-leading data protection solutions and aiming to further enhance its data security and governance capabilities.

Impact of U.S. Tariffs on Global Privacy-Enhancing Technology Market

U.S. import duties on technology-related products are contributing to supply chain uncertainties and higher production costs for hardware-reliant parts of the PET market. There is no silver bullet for PET due to its software-centric nature, but a few solutions require a secure hardware entity. These trading practices may cause suppliers to retool manufacturing plans, 'localize', or change pricing structures. This shifting environment impacts the general investment and application timelines for the development of privacy technology.
