The report categorizes the SSL certification market in the US into three major end-user segments. They are:

SSL certification market in US in large enterprises

The SSL certification market in the US in large enterprises will grow at a CAGR of more than 25% during the forecast period. One of the major reasons for the growth of the SSL certification market in the US is the increased use of the internet for many purposes such as Outlook Web Access and cloud-based computing platforms in large enterprises.

According to Amrita Choudhury, a lead analyst at Technavio for b>IT security research, "The demand for SSL certification has increased because of the growing need to maintain privacy and retain credibility of the organization." Large enterprises require a high level of security and are not cost-conscious. So they use organization validation (OV) SSL and extended validation (EV) SSL certificates. The large enterprises that use SSL certificates include the major e-commerce enterprises and enterprises in the banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) sector.



SSL certification market in US in government organizations

The SSL certification market in the US in government organizations will grow at a CAGR of close to 24% during the forecast period. Online security is a major concern for government organizations in the US. In 2015, the US declared a policy to require secure connections across all federal websites and web services.


Many organizations such as the United Nations, NASA, the FBI, and the US House of Representatives in the US are adopting online security solutions. The US government has made it mandatory for all publicly accessible federal websites to have a secure connection. Hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS) is the strongest privacy and integrity protection currently available for public connections.

SSL certification market in US in SMEs

The SSL certification market in the US in SMEs will grow at a CAGR of close to 24% during the forecast period. SMEs are cost-conscious, therefore, they are increasingly adopting self-signed SSL certificates because they are free.

"However, the adoption of domain validation (DV) SSL or OV SSL certificates by SMEs is increasing because of the rise in number of cyberattacks. Also, SMEs are constantly under the surveillance of authorities, which monitor and ensure compliance with standards and rules, says Amrita.
