    Description

    The European Data Protection-as-a-Service (DPaaS) market is experiencing robust growth, driven by increasing data volumes, stringent data privacy regulations (like GDPR), and the rising adoption of cloud computing across various sectors. The market, valued at €5.98 billion in 2025, is projected to witness a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 14.60% from 2025 to 2033. This expansion is fueled by the increasing need for robust data security and business continuity solutions, particularly within sectors like BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance), Healthcare, and Government & Defense, which handle sensitive data requiring high levels of protection. The preference for flexible and scalable cloud-based solutions, such as Storage-as-a-Service (STaaS), Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS), and Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS), further contributes to market growth. Deployment models like public, private, and hybrid clouds cater to diverse organizational needs and risk appetites. Key players like IBM, Hitachi Vantara, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and Amazon Web Services are actively shaping the market landscape through continuous innovation and strategic partnerships. The competitive landscape is characterized by both established players and emerging vendors offering specialized DPaaS solutions, fostering innovation and driving down costs. The growth trajectory of the European DPaaS market is expected to remain strong throughout the forecast period (2025-2033). Increased cybersecurity threats and the rising complexity of data management are key factors pushing organizations to adopt DPaaS solutions. While the initial investment can be a restraint for some smaller organizations, the long-term cost benefits and reduced operational complexities of DPaaS are likely to outweigh this barrier. Furthermore, the ongoing evolution of cloud technologies and the development of advanced data protection features, such as AI-powered threat detection and automated data recovery, will continue to fuel market expansion. Regional variations in regulatory frameworks and digital maturity may influence adoption rates across different European countries, with countries like the UK and Germany likely to lead the market due to their advanced technological infrastructure and stringent data protection regulations. This comprehensive report provides a detailed analysis of the Europe Data Protection-as-a-Service (DPaaS) market, offering invaluable insights for businesses seeking to navigate this rapidly evolving landscape. The study period covers 2019-2033, with 2025 as the base and estimated year, and a forecast period of 2025-2033. This report analyzes market size in millions, identifies key trends, and explores the competitive dynamics within the sector. It is an essential resource for investors, vendors, and industry professionals seeking a competitive edge in the burgeoning European DPaaS market. Recent developments include: July 2023 - Thales, a France-based IT company, introduced the CipherTrust Data Security Platform to the market, and the company currently offers it through a cloud-based subscription-as-a-service model. According to Thales, the platform simplifies data security operations for organizations by utilizing data security and lifecycle management tools to help them defend against external cyber threats and other security risks. Additionally, the platform gives users access to a partner ecosystem for integrations with security vendors, enterprise storage, servers, databases, applications, and clouds., June 2023 - Oracle's EU Sovereign Cloud was announced to be accessible, providing more control over data privacy and sovereignty needs to public and commercial sector entities throughout the European Union. Oracle EU Sovereign Cloud, one of the first cloud offerings created to address the EU's developing regulatory landscape, provides users with all the services and capabilities of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's (OCI) public cloud regions at the identical cost, with the same level of support and service level agreements (SLAs) to run any workload. In addition to dedicated and hybrid cloud solutions, EU Sovereign Cloud, a component of OCI's distributed cloud approach, offers a new way to assist in meeting regulatory requirements.. Key drivers for this market are: Increasing Focus on Third-party Risk Management, Stringent Regulations, such as GDPR Prompting the Adoption of Data Protection Solutions; Increasing Awareness among EU Institutions. Potential restraints include: Increasing Hidden Costs of Cloud-based Storage. Notable trends are: BFSI Industry is Expected to Grow at a Significant Rate Throughout the Forecast Period.

Data collection occurred between April and December 2021. Survey data was analyzed descriptively, and the interviews underwent a framework analysis.Results and conclusionIn total, 191 respondents filled in the survey, of whom fourteen participated in the follow-up interviews. Out of the targeted 28 countries (EU and UK), 25 were represented in the survey. The majority of stakeholders were based in Western Europe. This study empirically elucidated numerous key legal and ethical issues related to GDPR compliance in the context of (cross-border) clinical research. It showed that the lack of legal harmonization remains the biggest challenge in the field, and that it is present not only at the level of the interplay of key EU legislative acts and national implementation of the GDPR, but also when it comes to interpretation at local, regional and institutional levels. Moreover, the role of ECs in data protection was further explored and possible ways forward for its normative delineation were discussed. According to the participants, the pandemic did not bring additional legal challenges. Although practical challenges (for instance, mainly related to the provision of information to patients) were high due to the globally enacted crisis measures, the key problematic issues on (cross-border) health research, interpretations of the legal texts and compliance strategies remained largely the same.

    Description

    Advances in digital technology have led to large amounts of personal data being recorded and retained by industry, constituting an invaluable asset to private organizations. The implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation in the EU, including the UK, fundamentally reshaped how data is handled across every sector. It enables the general public to access data collected about them by organisations, opening up the possibility of this data being used for research that benefits the public themselves; for example, to uncover lifestyle causes of poor health outcomes. A significant barrier for using this commercial data for academic research, however, is the lack of publicly acceptable research frameworks. Data donation—the act of an individual actively consenting to donate their personal data for research—could enable the use of commercial data for the benefit of society. However, it is not clear which motives, if any, would drive people to donate their personal data for this purpose. In this paper we present the results of a large-scale survey (N = 1,300) that studied intentions and reasons to donate personal data. We found that over half of individuals are willing to donate their personal data for research that could benefit the wider general public. We identified three distinct reasons to donate personal data: an opportunity to achieve self-benefit, social duty, and the need to understand the purpose of data donation. We developed a questionnaire to measure those three reasons and provided further evidence on the validity of the scales. Our results demonstrate that these reasons predict people’s intentions to donate personal data over and above generic altruistic motives. We show that a social duty is the strongest predictor of the intention to donate personal data, while understanding the purpose of data donation also positively predicts the intentions to donate personal data. In contrast, self-serving motives show a negative association with intentions to donate personal data. The findings presented here examine people’s reasons for data donation to help inform the ethical use of commercially collected personal data for academic research for public good.
