NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / February 12, 2025 / aOK, an invite-only messaging channel, is drawing significant attention from US investors as the secure messaging app market is set to grow by billions.
According to recent reports, the global secure messaging app market was valued at $24.69 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to $64.1 billion by 2032. This growth is driven by rising consumer demand for secure messaging channels following the increasing adoption of mobile devices. As the consumer demand for secure communication channels grows, investors have identified an opportunity to invest in platforms that prioritize user privacy and security.
aOK, which is set to launch soon, features capabilities that are a robust step forward in tackling issues surrounding malicious online communication, built on secure and private infrastructure. Combining reputable and assured identity verification abilities creates a safer online space and alleviates the risks posed by scams, fake accounts, and bots.
By verifying identities, aOK empowers users to communicate safely, protecting their privacy while fostering genuine connections. For businesses, aOK holds growth opportunities by providing them with a direct line to verified users, solving the problem of escalating costs associated with advertising to fake profiles on social media, personalization, and customer acquisition.
The crowded online advertising market, coupled with stringent privacy laws like CAN-SPAM and GDPR, has made it challenging for businesses to reach and retain customers. The rise of fake accounts, bot accounts, and outdated contact information further exacerbates these issues and leads to not only wasted resources but also reputational risks.
Negative comments and fake news spread by bots and fake profiles can lead to loss of consumer trust, decreased sales, and heightened costs. Netacea's 2024 research reveals that businesses incur an average annual cost of $85.6 million due to bot attacks, accounting for 4.3% of their online revenue. aOK offers a unique solution to these issues by enabling every user to undergo digital identity verification during onboarding. aOK's technology is also privacy assured and guarantees that all data is secure and private, with no monitoring or selling of user data.
aOK's features help businesses achieve growth and streamline marketing efforts while contributing to an inviting opportunity for investors as the secure messaging app market expands.
