Market research firm Kenneth Research has published a report that shines a light on growing demand for personal information theft prevention services, including insurance. The report highlights several key market dynamics, including growth drivers, market opportunities, challenges and threats in the privacy services market.

Worldwide, the privacy services market was worth US $473 million in 2019. It is also expected to be worth US $13 billion by the end of 2028.

Demand for privacy services from the corporate and consumer industries is being driven by the increase in cybercrime around the world. According to the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), more than 467,000 cybercrime complaints were filed in 2019.

Personal information theft is driven by increasing use of online financial transactions. Hackers have become skilled at stealing electronic IDs. As the thieves get cannier, the security market gets bigger and inevitably it is the consumer who has to shoulder the increased cost.
