Tokenization Market

Global Tokenization Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The global tokenization market is estimated to reach USD 5.02 billion in 2024 and USD 13.29 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 21.5% during the forecast period.

Current Scenario of the Global Tokenization Market

The growing requirement to comply with regulations, the growing demand to create a consistent user experience, and the increasing demand to maintain fraud prevention levels due to increased financial crimes drive the tokenization market. Furthermore, rising demand for cloud-based tokenization solutions and services and increased customer alignment towards contactless payments will present attractive prospects for tokenization suppliers.

Tokenization is the process of converting sensitive data into non-sensitive "tokens" that can be used in a database or internal system without being visible to the general public. Tokenization protects sensitive data by replacing it with an irrelevant value of the same length and format as the original. Subsequently, the tokens are delivered to an organization's internal systems for use, while the original data is kept in a token vault. Tokenized data, unlike encrypted data, is impregnable and irrevocable.

Tokenization is the process of removing sensitive information from your system and replacing it with tokens. Most businesses have sensitive data on their systems, whether credit card information, medical information, Social Security numbers, or anything else that requires security and protection. Tokenization replaces the data in the environment with one-of-a-kind tokens for each piece of data.

MARKET DRIVERS

The increased requirement to safeguard sensitive data and information against compromise is the primary driver of the tokenization market's growth.

Tokenization technology has been widely employed to protect sensitive data against fraud. It offers a variety of benefits, including protection from hackers and thieves, a reduced PCI scope, internet protection, and internal security. Significant factors, such as an increase in data breaches and cyber-attacks around the world, are projected to propel the industry forward.

Contactless payment systems have grown in popularity worldwide due to their convenience, which allows users to make payments without the need for help and eliminates the need to be physically present. Mobile is the most popular contactless payment option among customers. One key driver of the adoption of contactless payment solutions is cost reduction.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

Although tokenization is not a new payment security technology, many end-users still utilize an older payment security method that is more vulnerable than tokenization. A lack of knowledge about sophisticated and cutting-edge payment methods is a concern for organizations. Unlike encryption, tokenization uses 'tokens' to substitute critical information rather than transferring it from credit/debit cards. Budget constraints also make it difficult for SMEs to replace outdated technology and combat payment fraud with standard security solutions.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global tokenization market

The spread of COVID-19 has limited the use of currency notes. This constraint transformed the way people use online payments. Gemalto reports that 90% of European business leaders invested in contactless payment solutions. According to a Visa survey, 82% of Taiwanese consumers have used contactless payments. MasterCard had 61% in-store contactless transactions in the Czech Republic, 41% in Poland, 27% in Hungary, and 27% in Slovakia. According to the Association for Financial Professionals, 66% of Australian cardholders have contactless cards that allow them to tap and pay. These statistics show that customers are increasingly inclined to use contactless payments, and COVID-19 has significantly increased the use of contactless payments.
