Market Growth Factors
The global antivirus software package market will be propelled by the increasing sophistication of cyberattacks. The report found that India saw an average of 761 attempted cyberattacks every minute in 2024, with the healthcare industry being the most affected. The increase in such attacks against critical infrastructure and personal data breaches has created renewed global interest and importance in cybersecurity, including endpoint protection that has grown due to the rise of remote work, as well as advances in detection through artificial intelligence and machine learning. These factors may combine for a positive impact on the worldwide antivirus software market.
In the United States, complex cyber-security threats happen, regulations like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) exist, and a growing dependence on digital infrastructure within various industries should drive market growth. In August 2023, 12.2% of United States jobs are remote. Nearly 4.7 million jobs require working from home at least half the week, which has increased the need for endpoint and personal cybersecurity solutions. Focusing upon new AI-based threat detection and small and medium business solutions will drive future growth.
The increasing trend to subscribe to antivirus software that updates regularly, works across multiple devices, and renews easily creates an opportunity to engage and retain customers more. Cyberattacks against desktops and laptops in 2023 also created 862.8 million detections worldwide, creating more demand for solutions that offer thorough antivirus protection. E-commerce and online banking developed at a rapid pace. This created new cybersecurity issues. Antivirus software demand increased to protect online purchases and financial information. Industry estimates project cybercrime will cost up to USD 10.5 Trillion around 2025. This is three times more than in 2015. This is fueling the demand for complete antivirus packages.
