The global lawful interception market size reached US$ 3.7 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 10.2 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 17.5% during 2023-2028.
Lawful interception (LI) is a legally approved surveillance of telecommunication services for investigating and prosecuting criminal activities and terrorist operations. It is a tool used by law enforcement and intelligence agencies (LEAs) to identify, monitor, and deliver electronic communication of individuals. It also enables the interception of communication traffic for a specific user. At present, organizations from different end use industries are relying on LI to protect against malicious network traffic.
Global Lawful Interception Market Trends:
- Increasing incidences of cross-border terrorist activities, drug trafficking, cybercrime and illegal trespassing represent one of the major factors positively influencing the demand for lawful interception solutions around the world. In addition, rapid digitization, increasing penetration of high-speed internet, and significant improvement in the IT infrastructure to minimize the incidences of cyber-attacks are contributing to the market growth. Moreover, several initiatives are being undertaken by governments of numerous countries to update the laws of lawful interception and enhance periodic monitoring, which can assist in controlling illegal activities across communication systems. This, in turn, is offering lucrative business opportunities to key players operating in the industry. Apart from this, the escalating demand for mobile phone tracking systems and data-based communications to help security agencies in protecting and maintaining consumer interest is fueling the market growth. Besides this, with the introduction of next-generation networks, there is widespread adoption of legal interception solutions to collaborate with various network and application service providers. This is anticipated to create a positive influence on the market.
- Significant Rise in Criminal and Terrorist Activities
- The increasing digitalization and the rapid adoption of communication devices, including smartphones and tablets, have taken businesses and connectivity among people to an advanced level. However, such advances have also provided an impetus in increasing illegal online activities. As a result, law enforcement and intelligence agencies are focusing on investigating terrorist networks, criminal operations, drug trafficking, financial crimes, and other illegal activities worldwide. Additionally, the implementation of favorable government policies for the periodic monitoring and controlling of illicit activities across numerous communication systems is further catalyzing the market.
- Lawful Interception in the Virtual Environment
- With the advancements in cloud computing, the concept of virtualization is gaining traction across the globe. The virtualization of modern data centers improves virtual network security, enabling vendors to offer cloud-based interception solutions and connect cybernetic traffic to physical monitoring tools. In addition to this, developments in data-based communications have led to the expansion of telecommunication networks, which is contributing to the global lawful interception market growth. Furthermore, mobile phone tracking systems are also being set up to assist security agencies in protecting and preserving consumer interest. Besides this, governments of both the developed and emerging nations are rapidly adopting lawful interception to monitor and decrypt digital and analog information. Moreover, various companies are involving in the research and development of cloud-based interception solutions. For instance, the company named AQSACOM delivers ALIS, its Lawful Cyber Intelligence System, to virtualized network function architectures. It is deployed as a software-based solution and can be readily integrated into any virtualized network.
- Introduction of Next-Generation Networks
- The capability of networks supporting new services and applications has improved with an increase in digitalization and technological innovations. The conversion from circuit-based switched telecommunication networks to packet-based networks using the IP is the major change witnessed in the communication network. Such developments have increased the need for new security platforms and an advanced architecture for lawful interception, as security concerns have escalated due to the increasing number of cyberattacks. Therefore, with the introduction of next-generation networks, there is a need for legal interception providers to collaborate with network and application service providers to build an effective collaboration network among countries.
