According to a recent study by Future Market Insights (FMI), the consent management market is expected to witness promising growth in the near future, influenced in part by the upward trend of plain text presentation.

Recommendations by the Personal Information Management Services for consent management on the basis of six plain language categories that minimise confusion have further been complementing the popularity of the trend, thereby impacting the growth of the consent management market.

The introduction of new regulations, such as the GDPR, along with the rising consumer concerns regarding data privacy, is forcing organizations to invest in more formal internal structures for the purpose of effective consent management. There has been a significant growth in the requirement for efficient book keeping and personal digital data storage equipment among organizations, in a bid to enhance their consent management offerings.

The data privacy regulations in the consent management market have led organizations to appoint dedicated personal data privacy officers, consent management processes, and records. With efficient data storage equipment and consent management platforms in place, an organization gains the abilities to demonstrate a simplified complaint approach to consent management regulators, revoke or transfer data record upon request, and answer consumer requests for information.
