Rising digitalization, availability of a variety of online payment methods, and an increasing number of online transactions are likely to remain a key tokenization market trend.
The tokenization market is growing at a rapid pace due to the increasing data breach activities and growing data security concerns among consumers across the globe.

Tokenization is the process of exchanging or converting sensitive data for nonsensitive data into smaller parts called “tokens.” It can be used in a database or internal system without bringing it into scope. Tokens have almost no intrinsic value; they are only helpful when they represent something important, such as a credit card primary account number (PAN) or Social Security number (SSN). Most organizations store sensitive data in their systems, whether it's credit card information, medical information, social security numbers, or anything else that has to be secure and protected. Tokenization allows enterprises to continue using this data for commercial purposes without the risk or compliance implications of retaining sensitive data internally.
Criminals target businesses that accept debit cards and credit credits. The payment made from these cards contains valuable information that can be stolen. This increases the adoption of tokenization among businesses to protect valuable information. Tokenization helps businesses to protect themselves from any negative financial consequences of data theft. Tokenization not only protects financial information but also supports businesses to protect their personal data from breaches. Moreover, the growing adoption of credit card tokenization among businesses to improve data security for online businesses is driving the market. Tokenization provides data security from the time data is being captured to storage by eliminating the actual storing of credit card numbers in POS machines and internal systems.
Cloud-based tokenization is the process of exchanging sensitive data for an irreversible, non-sensitive placeholder known as a token while securely maintaining the original, sensitive data outside of the business's internal systems. Cloud-based tokenization is easier to implement and less expensive than traditional on-premise tokenization. This helps businesses in lowering risk and compliance exposure by removing sensitive data from their data environments. Businesses can also safeguard that data while maintaining utility and the agility of their current business processes by utilizing format- and length-preserving tokens as a placeholder for the original, sensitive data. This is significantly creating opportunities in the market during the forecast period.
Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the tokenization market analysis are component, deployment, enterprise size, and industry vertical.
