Why OVA size increases after encryption?

I am comparing the size of OVF after exporting the VM using OVFtool, or
others (doesn't make any difference). When I have no encryption, the VM
exports with *2.91G size*.

If I try to export the same VM after encrypting the disk using dm-crypt,
LUKS its sized at *4.34G*.

Can you please help me understand why and how to avoid it? I want to make
sure that the OVA size remains same / similar even after encryption.
Thank you
