Key Lawful Interception Market Trends and Drivers

Primary factors driving global lawful interception market are rise in the number of terrorism activities and cyber-attacks around the world, rapid growth in the data traffic and growing demand for chatbots and virtual assistants. Mobile data traffic has grown significantly in the recent years. Rising usage of smartphones in developing countries like India and China coupled with growing consumers preference for data-based service over mobile voice services, are some of the major factors propelling the mobile data traffic. However, rising data volumes, has increased the frequency of cybercrimes and data breaches. As per recent estimates, in 2022, worldwide cyber-attacks increased by 38% as compared to 2021. Governments in many countries are commercializing 5G services. As a result, average mobile data traffic per smartphone will increase to reach around 55 GB per month by 2028. As the mobile data traffic will rise, frequency of such incidences will also increase in future. To control such incidences, law enforcement agencies are increasingly adopting law enforcement solutions for target-based monitoring, which is accelerating the growth of lawful interception market.

Number of terrorisms and criminal activities are growing rapidly. Law enforcement agencies are increasingly using lawful interception to analyse suspect’s data. These agencies use the intercepted data provided by telecom operators to issue a warrant. Moreover, favourable government regulations for lawful interception and surge in the demand for mobile tracking systems for assisting security agencies, are supplementing the market growth. Advancements in the field of Voice of Internet Protocol and other wireless technologies, has increased the scope for unlawful technologies, which in turn, is rising the demand for lawful interception for lawfully locating and analysing wired and wireless communications.
