Global Information Rights Management Market Size study & Forecast, by Component (Solutions (Integrated with EFSS & Integrated with DLP) and Services), by Organization Size (SMEs & Large Enterprises), by Deployment Type (On-premises & Cloud), by Vertical a

The Global Information Rights Management Market is valued at approximately USD 2.26 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to register a robust CAGR of 15.60% over the forecast period 2025-2035. Information Rights Management (IRM) refers to technologies and solutions that safeguard sensitive enterprise data from unauthorized access, misuse, or leakage. These systems control how information is used, even after it has left an organization’s secure perimeter, ensuring granular control over viewing, sharing, editing, printing, or forwarding. The rising wave of digital transformation across industries, combined with the exponential growth of unstructured data, has made IRM solutions indispensable in today’s security landscape. The demand is further fueled by the acceleration of cloud adoption, a growing remote workforce, and heightened regulatory compliance mandates across sectors.

The surge in cyberattacks, coupled with stricter compliance frameworks such as GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA, has pushed organizations to adopt IRM to protect confidential assets, intellectual property, and sensitive business communications. Enterprises are increasingly turning to IRM to bolster data-centric security strategies that transcend perimeter-based defenses. For instance, with the rise of hybrid and cloud-first infrastructures, enterprises face heightened risks of data exposure, particularly when sharing critical files externally. This has elevated the role of IRM solutions integrated with enterprise file sync-and-share (EFSS) and data loss prevention (DLP) systems, which provide continuous monitoring, enforce dynamic policies, and reduce insider threats. However, high implementation costs and the complexities involved in integrating IRM within legacy systems continue to act as hurdles in certain developing markets.

Cloud deployment is expected to dominate the Information Rights Management market as enterprises increasingly migrate workloads to digital ecosystems that demand scalable and flexible security controls. The cloud model allows organizations to streamline access control, maintain regulatory compliance, and extend security beyond their immediate IT infrastructure. SMEs, in particular, are leveraging cloud-based IRM due to its cost-effectiveness, simplified management, and rapid scalability. The proliferation of remote work and collaboration platforms further underpins the dominance of cloud-based solutions, making them the cornerstone of modern IRM strategies.

On the other hand, large enterprises currently hold the lion’s share of market revenue, driven by their vast data repositories, complex IT ecosystems, and heightened exposure to cyber threats. These organizations are heavily investing in advanced IRM solutions integrated with EFSS and DLP systems to mitigate risks of insider leaks and ensure secure file collaboration across borders. While SMEs are expected to contribute significantly to future growth owing to the rise of digital-first startups and mid-sized businesses, large enterprises remain the primary revenue contributors due to their budgetary strength and regulatory obligations.

Regionally, North America continues to lead the global market, owing to its mature cybersecurity ecosystem, widespread adoption of advanced digital technologies, and the strong presence of leading IRM providers. The region’s strict regulatory frameworks, combined with heavy investments by enterprises in securing sensitive intellectual property, drive its dominant market share. Meanwhile, Asia Pacific is poised to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period. Rapid digitalization, expanding cloud infrastructure, and the increasing threat landscape in emerging economies like India and China are creating fertile ground for IRM adoption. Europe follows closely, propelled by stringent compliance laws and the region’s growing emphasis on digital sovereignty and data privacy.
