MARKET GROWTH FACTORS

The​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ antivirus software package market expansion is mainly a consequence of the aggravated sophistication of cyber-attacks, which necessitate a stronger protective response from both individuals and organizations. Just in 2024, India saw an average of 761 cyberattack attempts each minute, with the majority of these attacks targeting the healthcare sector. It clearly shows that the demand for sophisticated cybersecurity solutions is extremely high. Moreover, the increased uptake of cloud-based security and multi-device protection solutions also aligns with the growing complexity of cyber risks. 

In the US, data protection acts like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) are imposing more and more stringent regulations and as a consequence fueling market demand. A total of 12.2% of the U.S. workforce were working fully remotely as of August 2023, and the number of remote workers is projected to reach 32.6 million by 2025. This revolutionary change places a great deal of emphasis on endpoint security and is a major contributor to the demand for full-fledged antivirus packages that are compatible with remote and hybrid work. 

Furthermore, the market expansion is supported by the improvements in AI and machine learning, which enhances the detection of threats and prevention of malware. Heightened consumer vigilance on the subject matter of data breaches has propelled the uptake of individual cybersecurity solutions that are not only easy to use but also compatible with multiple devices. The rise of e-commerce and online banking services which according to the same report will be victims of cybercrime with a CAGR of 15%, leading to losses of USD 10.5 trillion in 2025, are just some of the grounds why top-notch antivirus protection is a must.

REGIONAL INSIGHTS

North America remains the largest market for antivirus software packages, with a share of more than 48.0% of the global market in 2024. The region's dominance is primarily attributed to its sophisticated IT infrastructure, the high rate of cyberattacks, and the rapid adoption of digital technologies, especially in the finance and technology sectors. The United States, at the same time, is responsible for 85.60% of the total North American revenue. The reason behind this can be the fact that between 2022 and 2023, there has been a 70% increase in ransomware attacks, which shows distinctly how desperate the need for antivirus solutions is in the country.
