Proxy Servers Market Size, Share, Opportunities, And Trends By Type (Forward Proxy, Public Proxy, Shared Proxy, Residential Proxy, Others), By Application (Content Filtering, Encrypted Data Filtering, Translation, Others), By End-User (Commercial, Residential), And By Geography - Forecasts From 2023 To 2028

The proxy servers market is anticipated to grow at a constant rate during the forecast period.

A proxy server is a server that acts as a bridge between a user's device and the internet. It boosts privacy, security, and overall performance. Such Proxies can be used for a variety of purposes, including anonymous Internet browsing, circumventing geo-blocking, regulating web requests, and adding an extra layer of security to computers. The adoption of cloud service and increasing cybersecurity concerns have emerged as a significant driving force behind the substantial growth of the proxy server industry.

Market Drivers

• Increasing cybersecurity concerns bolster the proxy server market growth.

Concerns about cybersecurity threats and data breaches are driving the adoption of proxy servers as an essential component of comprehensive security. Proxy servers protect networks by filtering malicious data, blocking harmful websites, and adding an extra layer of defense against cyber threats. As security concerns increase multiple proxy servers are introduced in the market to protect individuals from data breaches. For instance, Bright Data provides proxy servers that are completely committed to meeting all applicable data protection legal requirements, including the new EU data security regulatory framework, and General Data Protection Regulation. Bright Data's mobile proxy network is comprised of over 7 million IPs from 195 countries, with unlimited scalability and customizability from any city or nation around the world.

• The adoption of cloud services drives the proxy server market expansion.

The adoption of cloud service plays a vital role in the significant growth of the proxy server market. As businesses continue to expand their operations to the cloud, the need for proxy servers to handle and safeguard internet traffic, filter, block unwanted traffic, and enhance network performance, especially in data center environments, has increased. Due to the increasing cloud services adoption, the demand for proxy servers is anticipated to witness positive growth. For instance, in August 2023, NTT introduced new cloud services as Thailand's initial AWS Direct Connect Delivery Partner.

• Increasing geo-restricted content access drives proxy server market growth.

Proxy servers are essential for gaining access to geo-restricted content that might be unavailable due to country-specific restrictions. The demand to access region-restricted information or bypass geographic restrictions drives users to use proxy servers with servers located in different geographic areas. Such servers are especially important for video streaming services, web pages, and websites with geographical limitations. Some online gaming platforms and services provide geographically specific content, promotions, or early access to particular areas, these factors increase the adoption of proxy servers to gather geographical content from certain regions, which has led to the significant growth of the proxy server market.

North America is expected to hold a significant share of the proxy server market.

North America is projected to account for a considerable share of the proxy server market owing to the region’s robust growth in the adoption of cloud service and increasing cybersecurity concerns which has made major North American economies enhance their server security, provide privacy to their end users and protect confidential data from cyberattacks.  For instance, in May 2021, the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, announced the new Cyber Security Innovation Network program which had been created with an investment of $80 million that would support cybersecurity research and development. Hence, such investments are anticipated to increase the demand for proxy servers in the region as they provide an extra layer of security.

Market Challenges

• Legality consideration will restrain the proxy server market growth.

The growth of the proxy server market may be restrained by legality considerations. Proxy servers can be used to gain unauthorized access to copyrighted content. Streaming or downloading copyrighted material without permission is illegal and may result in legal action by the copyright owners.  These legality issues may restrain the adoption of proxy servers which may affect the growth of the proxy server industry.
