The global digital legacy market size was valued at USD 12.93 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15.6% from 2025 to 2030. This significant growth is driven by the increasing digitalization of personal and professional lives, accumulating vast amounts of digital assets that require secure and organized posthumous management.
Rising awareness around digital wills, asset inheritance, and the importance of safeguarding online identities is fueling the demand for digital legacy solutions. In addition, the expansion of cloud storage, the proliferation of social media accounts, and the growing value of cryptocurrencies and NFTs contribute to this market's momentum. Industries such as BFSI, healthcare, and media & entertainment are seeing growing adoption due to their high volume of sensitive or high-value digital data. As people accumulate a growing volume of digital assets, including social media profiles, cloud-stored documents, financial credentials, cryptocurrencies, and multimedia content, managing, transferring, and preserving these assets beyond one's lifetime has become necessary. Moreover, the widespread use of smartphones and cloud computing has made digital storage more accessible, encouraging users to store sensitive information online, increasing the demand for secure posthumous management tools. The shift toward digital estate planning is especially evident among tech-savvy individuals and younger demographics, who are more likely to consider long-term digital footprint management.
In addition, rising concerns around data privacy, identity theft, and unauthorized access to digital content after death are compelling individuals and institutions to adopt structured digital legacy solutions. Integrating technologies such as blockchain, AI, and encryption in digital legacy platforms enhances trust, security, and automation, making these services more appealing and efficient. Simultaneously, regulatory frameworks like the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and emerging digital estate laws in various countries push service providers to offer compliant and transparent digital legacy management systems.
