Web content filtering is software designed to confine and control access to specified content on the internet and restrict information delivered over the internet via e-mail, the web, or other means. The demand for web content filtering solutions is on a rise owing to corporate concerns over data security, employee productivity, and legal liability. The awareness regarding need to monitor and control the Internet related security issues has made firms adopt web content filtering solutions on a large scale.

The ever changing governments regulations coupled with growing desire to reduce the Internet bandwidth usage has fueled market momentum. In addition, its ability to provide network security by blocking access to websites that are likely to distribute viruses and malicious content have made web filtering solutions a necessity in business organizations. However, high cost involved in the installation and maintenance has posed a significant challenge for the growth of this market. Developing multiple deployment platforms and offering integrated suites that provide better monitoring, ease of management, and reporting capabilities offers a sound opportunity for web content filtering vendors.

North America occupied the largest market share in 2012, which can be attributed to favorable government regulations in countries like the U.S. and Canada, promoting use of web content filtering solutions in business organizations as well as schools and institutions. The Asia Pacific web content filtering market was valued at USD 268.5 million in 2012, and is expected to be the fastest growing market in the coming years. Increased penetration of web based technologies has consequently led to increased use of web security solutions in the region.

In case of filtering techniques, URL filtering is currently the dominant filtering technique employed across the globe. However, owing to granularity and flexibility offered in controlling access to web content, file type filtering is expected to show fastest growth over the forecast period from 2013 to 2019. Business organizations across the globe have started realizing the importance of letting employee's access work-related sections of websites instead of blocking access to it completely.

At present, business organizations represent the largest end-use segment in the web content filtering market. Although business organizations are expected to remain the major end-user segment over the forecast period, schools and institutions are expected to show the fastest growth over the forecast period from 2013 to 2019. In order to better manage network bandwidth consumption and restrict students from accessing non-study related websites, schools and institutions are implementing filtering solutions on a broader scale.
