North America has dominated the global cybersecurity insurance market over the past decade owing to 52.1% in 2024, strong industry presence and large market size in the region. With major cybersecurity players and a large tech sector present in countries like the U.S., the awareness and demand for cyber insurance products is significantly higher compared to other regions. The regulatory norms around data privacy and protection are also quite stringent, prompting many organizations to opt for cyber covers.

The pricing of cyber insurance policies in North America tend to be on the higher side since insurers face greater liability risks here due to growing internet usage as well as increasing frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks. However, the large scale of operations in the region allows insurers to offer specialized and tailored products catering to the dynamic needs of different industry verticals. North American players also dominate global insurance brokerage and have helped drive growth of cyber insurance uptake.

Asia Pacific is emerging as the fastest growing regional market for cybersecurity insurance. The digital transformation of economies in countries like China, India, and other Southeast Asian nations has rapidly expanded the attack surface for cybercriminals. This is prompting both public and private sectors to recognize the need for adequate risk mitigation measures, of which insurance is a key component. Several large multinational insurers have also started focusing on this lucrative yet complex market through partnerships with local brokerages having deeper understanding of the regional business landscape and culture.

While pricing of cyber policies is generally lower than mature markets currently due to relatively fewer claims, premiums have been inching up steadily as the risk exposure rises. Moreover, the presence of globally recognized enterprises in APAC industries like financial services, healthcare and manufacturing is encouraging international underwriting firms to develop insurance products tailored to APAC's unique requirements and scale up their presence to tap into the region's high growth potential for years to come.
