The number of secure internet servers in the UK increased exponentially from 2013 to 2023, peaking at 3088.2 thousand servers. The year-on-year growth rate exhibited significant fluctuations with a peak in 2017 at 145.39%, while the most recent forecasts show a more stable trend with a CAGR of 4.53% over the coming five years, reflecting a growth of 24.81% by 2028.
Future trends to watch include the impact of new security protocols, the cloud computing surge, and the resulting increased demand for secure servers. The growth might also be influenced by heightened cybersecurity awareness and regulatory changes, particularly post-Brexit, which may skew server distribution geographically.
