Market Overview
Global Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Market has valued at USD 6.22 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to project robust growth in the forecast period with a CAGR of 12.08% through 2029. A trusted platform module (TPM), also referred to as ISO/IEC 11889 is an international standard for any secure cryptoprocessor which is a microprocessor on a computer-on-a-chip designed specifically to carry out the secure and cryptographic operation, that is embedded in a packaging consisting of multiple security measures making the system tamper resistant. TPM is designed to secure any hardware that it is installed into. Sometimes, any chip that conforms to the standard can also be referred to as a TPM.
The ISO 11889 is following Digital Rights Management (DRM), which relates to the management of legal access to any digital content. TPM forms an integral part of DRM with the help of tools like access control that can aid the restricted use of copyrighted works and proprietary hardware. Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0 and Microsoft has clearly stated that this is to upgrade security against ransomware and firmware attacks.
Key Market Drivers
TPM is a completely dedicated microcontroller, specifically designed to secure cryptographic hardware via integrated cryptographic keys. For successfully defending the digital platforms against the privacy security threats via secure crypto processor and digital rights management, the adoption rate of private as well as public key cryptography in various sectors is rising. This in turn, triggers the growth of TPM industry. Furthermore, the advancements of digital technologies, increasing demand for smart gadgets such as smart phones, laptops, tablets and others, as well as the growing adoption of IoT and digital rights management technology assist the TPM market growth due to its ability to provide secured network connectivity. Hence, the above-mentioned factors will boost the demand for this computer chip market during the forecast period.
Need for higher digital data security to propel market growth
The global trusted platform module (TPM) market is anticipated to grow owing to increased demand and the need for higher security of all the data present on the internet. With global modernization, and an immense adoption of infrastructure technology (IT) in almost all industrial sectors along with a personal level as well, the world is living in an era of digital transformation at a higher level. With this, comes the need to secure the data from any external attacks since this may have huge implications for global security.
In recent times, more cyber-attacks, ransomware, and firmware attacks have been witnessed by many small and large-scale firms. In 2020, India reported over 1.1 million cyber-attacks, while in 2019, the number was around 400,000. Cybercrime was reported up by 600% as a direct result of Covid-19. The data breach may also lead to serious losses to any firm and the value may range anywhere from USD 120,000 to USD 1.24 million. These numbers indicate the need to upgrade data security and TPM can play a critical part in saving digital information for cyber criminals or hampering the hardware or software, thus propelling global market demand.
Rising trend of smart technology adoption to provide market growth opportunities
With the growing population, there is significant demand for smart products like laptops, tablets, smartphones, and other digital gadgets. The higher the use of smart technology, the more information will be transferred to cloud-based services resulting in higher digital data which in turn is expected to propel the need for better data security. In 2021, the USA witnessed a sale of 73 billion smartphones. Such numbers are expected to provide ample growth opportunities for global trusted platform module market growth.
Key Market Challenges
Varied government regulations related to the TPM deliverables to challenge market growth.
Digital data or hardware security issues are common problems in all economies, but every government has its own set of laws regulating the protection from external or malicious attacks. These regulations may vary from one region to another and in some cases, the TPM provider may have to vary their services altogether based on country laws. Such factors may negatively impact the trusted platform module industry growth trend during the forecast period.
Trusted platform module (TPM) is not accepted globally due to some regional regulations. Some countries such as China and Russia have restricted the use of TPM. Instead of TPM, China uses the alternative TCM, regulated by Chinese Government, which has a negative impact on the growth of TPM market. In Russia, there is no equivalent to TCM and encryption products have to be reviewed and approved and by the authorities. Lack of global acceptance is one of the major challenges, which is set to hamper the market growth during the forecast period. Apart from that a public key cryptography or asymmetric cryptosystem, Rivest-Shamir-Adleman’s (RSA) encryption keys were disclosed which affected the TPM market negatively and this negative affect will be there during the forecast period as well.
Key Market Trends
Increasing Threats of Cyber-Attack
With rising adoption of IoT, the demand for smart and secured devices is rising along with threats of cyber-attacks. In December 2019, the New Orleans Government announced an emergency due to a cyber-attack. TPM is a microcontroller that can provide secured network connectivity to IoT and it also ensures reliability. In December 2020, many U.S. Government agencies and Microsoft were under a massive cyber-attack. By installing TPM, at the manufacturing level of those cryptographic hardware devices, the device providers can deny any opening to the threat actor which they can use for cyber-attacks. Hence, the growing adoption of IoT is acting as a growth driver for TPM market.
Growing E-Commerce Investments
With the rising investment in e-commerce, the demand for advanced and secured computer chips is rising, which works as a major growth driver for TPM market. In April 2020, Facebook invested $6 billion in Indian e-Commerce Giant, Reliance Industry. In July 2020, Walmart announced about their investment of $1.2 billion in Indian Flipkart, an e-commerce giant. With growing e-commerce business, e-commerce crime rate is also rising and to prevent it as well as to secure the digital rights, the implementation of this computer chip into various systems and devices is also increasing over time.
Segmental Insights
Type Insights
By type, TPM market is segmented into Discrete, Integrated and others. Integrated TPM is anticipated to witness the fastest growth, around CAGR of 15.01%, during the forecast period 2021-2026. Owing to the increasing safety threats, the demand for the integrated TPM is rising. To avoid the safety threats, most of the device providers integrate TPM in those products at the manufacturing level. In March 2019, Infineon Technologies launched OPTIGAâ„¢ TPM SLM 9670, the first TPM specifically designed for industrial application. It protects the integrity and identity of industrial PCs, controllers, servers and others and controls access to the sensitive data in a connected, automated factory.
