Data Tokenization Market Report 2026

The data tokenization market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $3.63 billion in 2025 to $4.37 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to payment security mandates, early encryption adoption, data breach incidents, PCI compliance needs, cloud migration.

The data tokenization market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.19 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of digital payments, stricter privacy laws, tokenization in analytics, zero trust architectures, cloud security demand. Major trends in the forecast period include vaultless tokenization adoption, cloud-native tokenization platforms, format-preserving data protection, application-level token security, compliance-driven token management.

The increasing volume of data breaches and cyberattacks is expected to drive the growth of the data tokenization market in the coming years. Data breaches and cyberattacks refer to unauthorized intrusions into digital systems and information that result in the exposure, theft, or misuse of sensitive data across various industries. Data breaches and cyberattacks are increasing due to the rapid expansion of digital systems and interconnected networks, which broaden and complicate the attack surface available to malicious actors. Data tokenization helps mitigate data breaches and cyberattacks by replacing sensitive information with non-exploitable tokens, thereby significantly reducing the value of compromised data and limiting attackers’ ability to misuse stolen information. For instance, in October 2024, according to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, an Australia-based government agency, data breach notifications reached 1,113 in 2024, reflecting a 25% increase from 893 incidents reported in 2023 and marking the highest annual total since the notifiable data breaches scheme was introduced. Therefore, the growing volume of data breaches and cyberattacks is driving the growth of the data tokenization market.

Key companies operating in the data tokenization market are focusing on developing advanced solutions, such as data de-identification techniques, to reduce data breach risks, protect sensitive information, and ensure regulatory compliance across cloud environments. Data de-identification techniques refer to security methods that mask, tokenize, or encrypt sensitive data so it cannot be directly linked to individuals, while still enabling authorized use for analytics and operational purposes. For example, in July 2023, Fortanix Inc., a US-based multi-cloud data security company, launched a data masking and tokenization solution as an extension of its Data Security Manager (DSM) platform. The solution offers format-preserving tokenization and dynamic data masking, enabling organizations to secure sensitive data fields while preserving usability for analytics, testing, and application workflows. Built on Fortanix’s confidential computing and key-management architecture, it delivers strong encryption, secure key isolation, and policy-based access controls, while simplifying deployment and scalability through a fully managed SaaS model. This approach allows enterprises to minimize data exposure, support regulatory compliance, and protect against breaches without complex infrastructure management.

In December 2023, The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, a US-based financial services company, acquired Securrency Inc. for approximately $51.1 million. Through this acquisition, DTCC aims to strengthen its digital asset capabilities and accelerate the development of enterprise digital asset infrastructure that supports tokenized assets and next-generation financial market solutions. Securrency Inc. is a US-based company specializing in institutional-grade blockchain and tokenization platforms for the trading, settlement, and servicing of digital assets and tokenized securities.

Major companies operating in the data tokenization market are Amazon Web Services Inc., Google LLC, Microsoft Corporation, Dell Technologies Inc., Broadcom Inc., IBM Corporation, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company, Thales Group, Fiserv Inc., Atos SE, Adyen N.V., Marqeta Inc., Lookout Inc., Protegrity Inc., K2view Ltd., Fortanix Inc., Very Good Security Inc., Sequent Software Inc., Prime Factors Inc., Euronet Worldwide Inc.

Tariffs have indirectly affected the data tokenization market by increasing the cost of underlying infrastructure and specialized security hardware. Organizations deploying on-premises tokenization solutions face higher exposure due to reliance on imported encryption appliances and secure servers. Financial services and retail sectors are particularly impacted because of strict payment and identity protection requirements. Cloud-based tokenization services are absorbing most tariff pressure through scale efficiencies and shared infrastructure. Vendors are emphasizing software-only and API-based tokenization approaches to reduce hardware dependency. Regional cloud deployments are further minimizing cross-border cost impacts. Market growth remains strong, driven by expanding digital payments, compliance mandates, and data protection needs.

Data tokenization refers to a security process that replaces sensitive data with non-sensitive tokens that preserve the format but have no exploitable value. It allows organizations to store and process data securely without exposing the original information. This technique is widely used in industries like banking, healthcare, and retail to protect personal and payment data while meeting compliance standards.

The primary components of data tokenization include solutions and services. Solutions refer to software platforms that secure sensitive information by substituting it with non-sensitive tokens while maintaining usability for processing and analytical purposes. These solutions are deployed through both on-premises and cloud-based deployment models and are designed for organizations of varying sizes, including large enterprises and small and medium enterprises. They are used in applications such as payment security, user authentication, compliance management, data processing, and other applications, and support multiple end users including banking, financial services, and insurance, healthcare, retail, information technology and telecommunications, government, and other end users.

The data tokenization market consists of revenues earned by entities by providing services such as implementation services, integration services, managed security services, and support and maintenance services. The market value includes the value of related goods sold by the service provider or included within the service offering. The data tokenization market also includes sales of vault-based tokenization solutions, cryptographic tokenization tools, token generation & mapping engines, and tokenization platforms. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is, the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).

The revenues for a specified geography are consumption values that are revenues generated by organizations in the specified geography within the market, irrespective of where they are produced. It does not include revenues from resales along the supply chain, either further along the supply chain or as part of other products.
