Market Share by Technique

The adoption of open source intelligence for social media analytics is anticipated to increase in the future years, driving the Europe open source intelligence market development. Social media has evolved into a medium for both personal and commercial promotion. Due to the abundance of vital information available in one place, social media networks offer a variety of possibilities for online research. For instance, a person's Facebook profile can be checked to see any personal information from anywhere in the area. However, as social media use has grown, there has been an increase in content and data theft as well. As a result, more firms are implementing social media intelligence to safeguard all the data posted on their social media pages. Thus, this is expected to fuel the growth of the social media analytics segment in the future, thereby aiding the open source intelligence market in Europe.

Market Share by End Use

Military and defence intelligence agencies accounted for a sizeable share of the Europe open source intelligence market based on end use. The advantages of using open source intelligence for gathering security information is encouraging more military and defence intelligence agencies to adopt OSINT technologies. Military organisations can improve battle intelligence, identify best tactical warfare strategies, and maximise the use of military resources by combining open-source and classified data. The Europe open source intelligence market demand would also be aided by the increased use of OSINT to determine the origin of military strikes and attacks. The speed, automation support, and minimisation of errors supported by open source intelligence are further increasing its adoption by military and defence intelligence agencies.
