Digital Rights Management Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Digital Rights Management Market Driver
- One of the key factors driving growth in the digital rights management market is the growing adoption of DRM solutions.
- The increasing cases of advanced and sophisticated theft, insider fraud, and rising number of cyber-attacks have created opportunities for attackers to drive organizations to adopt DRM.
- Organizations are facing challenges in protecting data and applications from security breaches. Hence, organizations are investing in security technologies and solutions such as DRM solutions to prevent such breaches in-house.
- Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) widely adopt cloud-based DRM solutions, as SMBs have a low IT budget compared with large enterprises. These factors are therefore expected to propel the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
Key Digital Rights Management Market Challenge
- The lack in providing appropriate SLAs will be a major challenge for the digital rights management market during the forecast period.
- A service level agreement (SLA) establishes a contract between the service provider (either internal or external) and the end user.
- The implementation of a proper process facilitates better data transparency. Therefore, vendors should provide the required quality of service to their clients on time and adhere to their SLAs to remain competitive in the market. However, several vendors in digital rights management lack in providing appropriate SLAs which further hampers the adoption of digital rights management solutions by end-users.

The digital rights management market share growth by the on-premises segment will be significant during the forecast period. On-premises digital rights management (DRM) requires end-users to have a software license and is more expensive than cloud-based DRM, as it requires in-house hardware and huge capital investment in software licenses. However, on-premises DRM is considered to be highly secure, as there is no third-party interference. Customization and higher data security offered in the on-premises deployment model are some of the factors responsible for the growth of the market.
