A virtual private network (VPN) can be defined as a source that offers secure communication between several members of a group by using public telecommunication infrastructure while maintaining privacy through the usage of a tunnelling protocol with security procedures. Their utilization provides an encrypted link that enables customers to get connected with the public internet network. Frame relay (FR), asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), virtual circuits (VC), and multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) are some of the few technologies used by VPNs. In addition, they mask the internet protocol (IP) address of the users in order to make their online actions virtually untraceable, thus providing greater privacy and security. Therefore, VPNs find large-scale applications across multiple businesses across the globe.
The global market is primarily driven by the widespread adoption of private networks in various industries. With the penetration of high-speed internet connection paving the way for conducting seamless business activities across numerous sectors, the risks of cyber-attacks and data breaches are rising, thereby leading to the increased utilization of VPNs worldwide. Thus, the significant demand to safeguard business transactions and data is driving enterprises toward highly secure technologies, thereby creating lucrative growth opportunities in the VPN market. Also, the shifting preference toward video and web conferencing solutions for communication amid the ongoing pandemic among enterprises is propelling the VPN market toward growth. Other factors, such as widescale adoption of media streaming services, the increasing demand for online and remote education, the escalating incidences of theft of financial and personal information, continual product innovations and extensive research and development (R&D) activities conducted by key players are further providing an impetus to the market growth.
