Ransomware Protection Market Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2024 - 2029)

Ransomware Protection Market Analysis

The Ransomware Protection Market size is estimated at USD 21.20 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 51.73 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 19.53% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The global ransomware protection market is expanding due to rising company digitization, increased use of ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS), and the introduction of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. However, a lack of knowledge about cyberattacks and financial limitations limit business expansion. On the other hand, new opportunities will arise as enterprises seek more multi-layer security protection and cloud-based services are used more widely.

• Owing to the increase in the demand for ransomware protection in recent years as a service, the global ransomware protection market is projected to witness a significant growth rate. The advent of cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, Etherium, increased the demand for ransomware protection solutions as a majority of the ransom is demanded in the form of cryptocurrency due to its untraceable nature. Moreover, the industry is impacted by technological developments and has seen the advent of ransomware protection solutions for mobile devices, too, apart from PCs.
• Moreover, the evolution of ransomware tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) has heightened the need for advanced protection mechanisms. Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) models, polymorphic malware, and targeted attacks on critical infrastructure have become prevalent, necessitating adaptive and sophisticated defense solutions. The ransomware protection market responds to these challenges by offering comprehensive cybersecurity suites that include threat intelligence, endpoint protection, network security, and data backup and recovery.
• Also, companies are nearly three times more susceptible to suffering breaches through social attacks than via actual vulnerabilities, emphasizing the need for ongoing employee cybersecurity education. It has led to the company looking towards ransomware protection solutions and has provided a considerable push for the solutions demand in the studied market.
• Worldwide, a rise in ransomware attacks was brought on by the global COVID-19 outbreak. For many years, ransomware has been the assault strategy of choice for online thieves. Organizations witnessed an increase in the size and sophistication of these attacks. According to Interpol, COVID-19 drastically changed the dangerous environment from attacks on people and small companies to essential infrastructure, governments, and large organizations.
