SOFTWARE PROTECTION DONGLE MARKET SIZE AND SHARE ANALYSIS - GROWTH TRENDS AND FORECASTS (2024-2031)
Global software protection dongle market has been growing considerably over the past few years. A software protection dongle, also known as hardware dongle or software license dongle, is a hardware key that plugs into a computer's USB or parallel ports to help protect software from illegal copying or activation. It provides license management for software and prevents unauthorized access to protected software by checking for the presence of the dongle. Many software and application developers utilize software protection dongles to ensure only licensed and paid users can access and operate their proprietary software programs and platforms. Rising software piracy is a major factor fueling the demand for effective software protection solutions like dongles among developers.
Market Dynamics:
Global software protection dongle market is driven by rising concerns over software piracy and increasing need among developers to enforce legal and secure usage of their programs. According to BSA, the rate of unlicensed software use was about 41% worldwide in 2021, resulting in significant financial losses for developers. Software protection dongles help address this issue of piracy by allowing access to software applications only via an attached hardware key. Their ability to authenticate legitimate software licenses across diverse platforms also spurs their adoption. However, increasing availability of low-cost cracking tools and weakness of some dongle technologies pose challenges to market growth. Meanwhile, continuous technological advancements in dongle designs to secure authentication provide opportunities for market players.
