Global Market Poised for Strong Growth –
The cyber insurance market is projected to reach USD 73.5 billion by 2033. This estimate is courtesy of new research from the IMARC Group. It stood at USD 14.2 billion in 2024. This growth represents a 17.88% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecast period.
Rising Threats and Regulatory Pressure Drive Demand
Cyberattacks are increasing in frequency and scale. These threats include ransomware, which can cause significant financial and reputational damage. Regulatory requirements, such as the GDPR and CCPA, are also prompting companies to secure coverage. Fines and legal expenses related to data breaches are growing.
Small Businesses Push Market Expansion
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are now major buyers. They face risks, but in reality, they often lack in-house cybersecurity due to the associated costs. Customized insurance products are helping them manage these risks affordably.
Insurers Shift Strategy With Targeted Products
Insurers are creating industry-specific policies. Healthcare, retail, and financial sectors are receiving tailored coverage options. This includes protections aligned with HIPAA and PCI DSS standards.
