The managed file transfer market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.49 billion in 2023 to $1.64 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. The growth during the historical period can be traced back to concerns about data security, adherence to regulatory requirements, the automation of business processes, globalization, the rise of remote workforces, and the increasing volume of data.
The managed file transfer market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.39 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period stems from vendor competition and innovation, emphasis on business continuity planning, prioritization of automation and efficiency, API integration, and the trend towards cloud migration. Significant trends expected during this period encompass interoperability and integration frameworks, integration with workflow automation, heightened security measures, the adoption of cloud-based solutions, and an increased reliance on managed services and outsourcing.
The managed file transfer (MFT) market is experiencing growth due to the rising frequency of cyberattacks. Cyberattacks involve unauthorized access to computer systems with the intent to steal, expose, alter, disable, or destroy information. The use of MFT services can enhance data security for companies, leading to an increased demand for such solutions. For example, the Internet Crime Report 2021 published by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), a US-based law enforcement agency, revealed a significant increase in cybercrime complaints. In 2020, the FBI received 791,790 cybercrime complaints, which rose to 847,376 complaints in 2021. This surge in cyberattacks underscores the growing need for robust data protection measures, which is driving the managed file transfer market forward.
The increasing adoption of cloud-based services is expected to drive the growth of the managed file transfer market in the future. Cloud-based services involve the delivery of computing resources such as storage, processing, databases, networking, software, and analytics over the internet (the cloud) on a pay-as-you-go or subscription basis. Managed file transfer solutions are widely used in cloud computing environments to securely and efficiently transfer files between on-premises systems and various cloud platforms. For example, according to Eurostat, a European intergovernmental organization, 42.5% of EU enterprises used cloud computing in 2023, primarily for hosting their e-mail systems and storing files electronically, marking a 4.2% increase from 2021. Therefore, the growing adoption of cloud-based services is a key driver behind the expansion of the managed file transfer market.
The managed file transfer market is witnessing a surge in technological advancement as a key trend. Major players in the market are developing advanced systems such as the Diplomat MFT v9.1, offering additional benefits to their users. For example, in June 2022, Coviant Software, a US-based provider of managed file transfer solutions, launched Diplomat MFT v9.1, an update to its platform with various added advantages such as data replication, file synchronization, and support for simultaneous file transfers to multiple destinations. This solution is particularly beneficial for customers requiring file replication, including site content, for easy distribution to authorized web farms and across data centers.
Key players in the managed file transfer market are concentrating on developing advanced software versions that integrate technologies such as user interface (UI) technology to remain at the forefront of innovation and meet evolving user demands. In the context of managed file transfer software, UI technology encompasses visual elements, design, and interactive components that users engage with while using the file transfer system. For example, in July 2023, Axway Software, a France-based IT company, launched updates to Axway Managed File Transfer (MFT), introducing new features and enhancements. This latest version emphasizes performance, cloud compatibility, user experience, and modernization, ensuring enhanced MFT operations for the future. Notable improvements include enhanced trust and support, the elimination of limitations, and the completion of disaster recovery offerings in Axway Managed Cloud across all cloud providers. The user experience is further enhanced with updated documentation for SFTP usage, container installation, and cloud-to-ground flows. The adoption of modern UI technology involves phasing out outdated and insecure libraries, providing customers with a more intuitive UI. This technological shift enables faster responses to customer feedback, facilitates continuous enhancements in user experience, and streamlines operational processes.
