TechNavio's analysts forecast the Global Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certification market to grow at a CAGR of 16.2 percent for the period 2010-2014. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the high growth in online transactions coupled with the rise in data theft and phishing attacks. The Global SSL Certification market has also been witnessing the integration of security features such as malware scanning with SSL certificate offerings. However, the price war that is leading to revenue loss for smaller companies and to a compromise on quality, could pose a challenge to the growth of this market.
