NEWS Market research house Datamonitor predicts investment in PKI products and services will grow from $436m in 2000 to $3.4bn by 2006. Verena Salzmann, a managing analyst with Datamonitor, said: "Although the PKI market is still immature and has being dogged by high cost, complexity of technology and the lack of PKI applications, it is now starting to take off." Salzmann added: "Trial runs, legislation, outsourced PKI services and ASP-style services have all combined to make the technology more accessable." Datamonitor expects this growth to be driven by the take-up of mobile internet devices such as 3G phones - estimated to account for 45 per cent of all PKI revenue by 2006. Mobiles currently only account for a one per cent share.
