Analyst Opinion

Cybersecurity is a topic practically every company must tackle in order to ensure and enhance the success of the digital transformation of their operational activities (e.g., automated processes, cloud-based tools, or software support). Driven by the increasing awareness of data risks and threats, the global Cybersecurity market has witnessed robust growth over the last few years with revenue increasing from US$83.32 billion in 2016 to approximately US$166 billion in 2023.

Furthermore, the adoption of cybersecurity is expected to grow with the increasing internet penetration among developing and developed countries. Whilst it was common to dismiss cybersecurity as a task for the IT department, it is now increasingly becoming the dominant part of top-level strategic planning.

The COVID-19 crisis led to many organizations facing more cyberattacks due to the security vulnerability of remote work as well as the shift to virtualized IT environments, such as the infrastructure, data, and network of cloud computing. The market is expected to continue showing strong growth, with North America as the dominant region in this market. Cloud Security is the fastest-developing market.

Furthermore, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP and internet penetration. This data helps us to estimate the market size for each country individually.

In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the particular market. Possible techniques are, for example, exponential trend smoothing and the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) forecasting algorithm.
