[121 Pages Report] The global Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) market expected grow from USD 1.7 billion in 2019 to USD 3.6 billion by 2024, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 15.1% during the forecast period. The increasing trust in online sealers and customers, and increasing malware and file-based attacks will drive the Public Key Infrastructure market.
PKI is a security technology framework of encryption and cybersecurity that helps secure the communication between the server and the client. The technology works using 2 different cryptographic keys, namely, a public key and a private key. To communicate over the website, the public key has to be supplemented with a private key that is held by a trusted party. It protects the user’s information from theft or tampering. To achieve secure communication, organizations are adopting the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate that uses public key infrastructure for encryption and authentication. The certificates issued by certificate authorities are trusted and can be used to authenticate entities. The trust hierarchy in issuing digital certificate includes various entities, such as root certificate authority, intermediate certificate authorities, and issuing certificate authorities.
The solution segment is expected to hold a larger market size in the Public Key Infrastructure market by component. PKI solutions help secure the communication between the server and the client by encrypting the data flow. Organizations are also adopting the PKI solution for ensuring continuous compliance. PKI defines a set of roles, policies, and procedures used to create, manage, distribute, and store digital certificates and manage public-key encryption. PKI solutions are gaining traction due to the increasing trust on online sellers and customers, and to protect organizations from malware and file-based attacks.
The Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) industry vertical is estimated to hold the largest market size in the PKI market in 2019. The BFSI is the most targeted industry vertical, as it deals with large volumes of sensitive and private financial data. The enterprises in this industry vertical are demanding for the PKI solution to ensure irreversible security. Moreover, the BFSI industry vertical is the most regulated, as it has to comply with many security requirements.
North America is estimated to account for the highest market share in the PKI market in 2019. Early adoption of PKI solution and the presence of several vendors that provide PKI are expected to drive market growth in the region. Businesses in the region are increasingly implementing PKI solutions to detect and prevent threats at their early stage.
Major vendors in the PKI market include Gemalto (Netherlands), Nexus Group (Sweden), Verisign (US), Entrust Datacard (US), DigiCert (US), Futurex (US), Comodo (US), GlobalSign (UK), WISeKey (Switzerland), SSL.com (US), ACTALIS (Italy), HARICA (Greece), Securemetric (Malaysia), ENIGMA (Poland), and eMudhra (India).

The study involved 4 major activities to estimate the current market size for Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). Extensive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, peer market, and parent market. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across value chain through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. Thereafter, market breakup and data triangulation were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.
The market size of companies offering PKI globally was derived with the help of the secondary data available through paid and unpaid sources. In the secondary research process, various secondary sources, such as D&B Hoovers, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, and Factiva, have been referred to for identifying and collecting information for the study. The secondary sources included annual reports, press releases, and investor presentations of companies; white papers, journals, and certified publications; and articles from recognized authors, directories, and databases. Secondary research was mainly used to obtain key information about the industry’s supply chain, the total pool of key players, market classification, and segmentation according to the industry trends to the bottom-most level, regional markets, and key developments from both market and technology-oriented perspectives, all of which were further validated by primary sources.
