The global cybersecurity market is projected to grow from $227.59 billion in 2025 to $351.92 billion by 2030 as artificial intelligence makes sophisticated cyberattacks easier to launch and organisations increase spending on digital protection.
The market is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 9.1% between 2025 and 2030, according to the figures provided. The market stood at $207.92 billion in 2024.
Generative AI has lowered the technical barrier for carrying out complex cyberattacks, giving attackers new tools to automate and scale malicious activity. The development has added pressure on companies to strengthen their security systems as threats become more accessible and potentially more difficult to detect.
Healthcare, financial services and insurance are among the sectors seeing strong growth in cybersecurity spending, with ransomware attacks contributing to increased demand for security tools and services.
The growing focus on cybersecurity has also attracted major corporate investment. Google’s $32 billion acquisition of Wiz and ServiceNow’s $7.8 billion purchase of Armis reflect the level of capital being directed towards the sector as technology companies seek to expand their cybersecurity capabilities.
North America is expected to remain the largest regional market through the forecast period, while Asia Pacific is also projected to record strong growth. Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Latin America are expected to contribute to the wider expansion of the global market.
For businesses, the rise of AI has created a more complex security environment. The same technology being used to improve detection, automate responses and support security teams can also be used by attackers to increase the scale and speed of cyber campaigns.
The market’s projected growth points to cybersecurity becoming a core corporate spending priority as organisations respond to ransomware, AI-enabled attacks and wider digital risks. However, the pace of investment will depend on how threat levels develop, regulatory requirements change and businesses assess the cost of protecting increasingly connected systems.
