The India digital rights management market has been attaining prominent growth and is projected to rise more in the near future since the market is being driven by the growing adoption of cloud-based services and the increasing use of mobile devices. As businesses move towards a more mobile and remote working environment, the demand for DRM solutions that can protect data across multiple platforms has increased.
According to 6Wresearch, the India Digital Rights Management Market size is anticipated to rise at a CAGR of 8.4% during 2025-2031. The increasing awareness and adoption of digital media platforms, such as streaming services and e-books, are major factors driving the demand for digital rights management (DRM) solutions in India. Moreover, the growing threat of piracy and copyright infringements has further accelerated the need for robust DRM solutions to protect digital content from being illegally distributed or used without permission. The increasing number of internet users in India and the rise of digital transformation across various industries have also contributed to the India Digital Rights Management Market growth.
One of the primary challenges facing the Indian DRM market is the lack of awareness and understanding among content creators about DRM technologies and their benefits. Many small-scale content creators are still not familiar with DRM solutions or do not consider them necessary, resulting in a low adoption rate. Moreover, the high cost and complexity associated with implementing DRM systems also act as barriers for widespread adoption. Another significant challenge is the prevalence of piracy in India.
Some key players in the Indian DRM market include Microsoft Corporation, Adobe Inc., Google LLC, Apple Inc., and Netflix Inc. These companies offer a range of solutions such as encryption, watermarking, and access control to protect digital content from piracy and unauthorized distribution.
The Indian government has taken several initiatives to promote the growth of the digital rights management market. The Digital India program launched in 2015 aims to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. This initiative has led to the adoption of digital technologies by businesses and individuals, thereby creating a fertile ground for DRM solutions. Furthermore, the Indian government has also implemented strict copyright laws and regulations to protect intellectual property rights. For instance, the Copyright (Amendment) Act, 2012 has strengthened the legal framework for copyright protection in India and has provided more rights to creators and publishers of digital content.
Digital rights management (DRM) is a set of technologies and policies that protect the digital content from unauthorized access, copying, modification or distribution. With India's rapid growth in the digital space, DRM has become an essential part of the digital ecosystem. The rise in online content consumption, increasing internet penetration and the adoption of digital platforms for various services such as e-commerce, banking, and entertainment are some of the major factors driving the growth of the DRM market in India. The increasing concern for data privacy and security is also expected to boost the adoption of DRM solutions.
According to Parth, Senior Research Analyst, 6Wresearch, the services segment is witnessing significant growth in the Indian digital rights management market. This includes consulting, implementation, training, and support services offered by digital rights management solution providers.
BFSI sector is currently experiencing a high rate of adoption of digital rights management solutions. This can be attributed to the increasing number of financial transactions and data exchanges taking place online.
