The global managed security services (MSS) market was valued at US$ 24.6 billion in 2021 and is expected to witness a robust growth rate of over 15% during the forecast period of 2022-2028. The regulations imposed for insufficient data privacy measures are anticipated to propel the growth of the MSS market across the globe.
Moreover, organizations have started shifting towards allocating 25% or less of their security budgets towards MSS owing to the increasing cyberattacks and continuously evolving threat landscape. In addition, the scarcity of in-house talent and expertise and the upsurging need to overcome complex and targeted attacks are anticipated to further fuel the market growth. Besides, mega campaigns such as Smart Cities Initiative, Digital India, and Make in India are likely to augment MSS adoption.
The rise of IoT as well as the increasing expenditures towards the same will catalyze market growth in the forthcoming years
New business models and respective revenue streams in the IoT industry are expected to lead to a new wave of supporting IoT networks and sensor devices, further contributing to the growth of the global MSS market. Moreover, the application and software development activities are anticipated to hold the majority of investments, giving rise to opportunities for MSSPs to manage activity. Enterprises often lack access to cross-industry and cross-border security intelligence needed for effective threat visibility, contributing to the growth of the market. The other growing industries like Blockchain, Augmented Reality, AI, and IoT is expected to create ample opportunities for the global MSS market.
North America held the largest major share while the Asia Pacific is set to grow at the fastest growth
The Asia Pacific is expected to grow the fastest at a CAGR of over 17%, primarily driven by the increasing expenditure on managed services and growing industrialization across the economies of region such as China, India, South Korea, Indonesia, and Australia. North America is expected to grow the second fastest at a CAGR of 16% in the forecast period of 2022-2028. North America managed security services market is driven by the increasing volume, diversity, and sophistication of cyber threats aimed at expanding the exposure footprint. This is compounded by out-of-date security measures as well as difficulties with in-house staffing and adaptation.
In Latin America, Brazil holds the largest market followed by Mexico owing to the growing use of security asset management, threat intelligence, research, detection, and remediation services, where the former holds the largest share of the LATAM MSS market at more than 70%. However, in the European region, the UK, Germany, and France are the top 3 countries for MSS in terms of revenue. Europe’s manufacturing sector is expected to open a pool of opportunities for the MSS market in the region. In the MEA region, start-ups are expected to flood the market and medium enterprises are expected to catch up with the adoption of MSS owing to the increased regulations in the region.
