INTERNET SECURITY MARKET ANALYSIS

Internet Security MarketSize and Trends

Driving factors for growth of the Internet Security Market

Increasing usage of Internet globally is a major factor driving growth of the internet security market. This is due to rapid expansion in wireless communication technology across numerous verticals. For instance, according to report by Coherent Market Insights, the number of internet users across the world were around 3.38 billion and 3.25 billion in 2016 and 2015, respectively. Internet security solutions are widely used in industries such as BFSI (Banking, Financial Services and Insurance), telecommunication, and healthcare to protect large volume of data from increasing cyber-attacks, which fuels growth of the market of internet security. Growing cyber-attacks that causes damage to organization’s data and can result in loss of revenue is a primary driver boosting adoption of internet security solutions across aforementioned verticals. For instance, according to report by Academy and Industry Research Collaboration Center (AIRCC), in the U.S., the number of web attacks in 2015 increased by 36% with over 4,500 new attacks each day in comparison with the previous year. Moreover, increasing adoption of advanced technologies such as IoT (Internet of Things), cloud computing, and BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) has significantly impacted adoption of internet security in the recent past. Adoption of cloud computing has witnessed a significant increase, due to various features such as high scalability, operational efficiency, and cost effectiveness. For instance, according to report by USITC (United States International Trade Commission), in the U.S., around US$ 43.3 billion was invested in cloud computing services in 2015. However, growing cyber threats, especially on public cloud storages has urged users to opt for security measures, in order to protect their data available on the cloud.

Small and mid-size enterprises allocate low budgets for internet security solutions, and this in turn is expected to negatively affect growth of the market. Furthermore, lack of knowledge and awareness regarding internet security solutions in small & mid-size enterprises inhibits the adoption of internet security solution.
