Middle East and Africa Endpoint Security Market is flourishing due to the rising endpoint attacks and breaches and increasing remote workforce.
BlueWeave Consulting, a leading strategic consulting and market research firm, in its recent study, estimated the Middle East and Africa Endpoint Security Market size at USD 749.11 million in 2023. During the forecast period between 2024 and 2030, BlueWeave expects the Middle East and Africa Endpoint Security Market size to expand at a CAGR of 6.16% reaching a value of USD 1,072.35 million by 2030. The Endpoint Security Market in the Middle East and Africa region is propelled by the growing adoption of cloud-based security solutions among enterprises. Cybersecurity has become a paramount concern in the region, leading to consistent investments to ensure citizens' safety. Governments have implemented robust legal frameworks and are committed to updating national cybersecurity systems. The integration of technology in Saudi Arabia has surged, heightening the demand for cybersecurity solutions and consequently, an increase in cyberattacks. Governments respond with active investments in innovative solutions to identify and mitigate cyber threats to businesses. Initiatives like Dubai Internet City (DIC) and KSA Vision 2030 aim at comprehensive digitalization, fostering connectivity in sectors like smart buildings and transportation. The 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar raised concerns about potential cyberattacks, emphasizing the need for enhanced cybersecurity solutions. The region's increasing digitization accentuates the vital need to safeguard networks, endpoints, data, and various elements from potential cyber threats.
Opportunity - Increasing number of endpoints and BYOD trend
In the modern landscape, smartphones and tablets have become indispensable tools for individuals and organizations alike, contributing to a significant surge in endpoints, especially as employees increasingly use smartphones for work. However, this ubiquity introduces new attack vectors and data security challenges, from Trojans to viruses and beyond. Alarmingly, 96% of mobile devices lack pre-installed security software, with about 65% of vulnerabilities residing in the application layer. Mobiles, by the end of 2018, topped the list of potential gateways for infiltration and hacking attempts. The Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) era further heightens cyber risks, evidenced by a 33% increase in mobile ransomware prevalence in 2018, as per Symantec's ISTR 2019 report. Enterprises respond by increasingly adopting endpoint security solutions to fortify networks and provide secure access to confidential information, acknowledging the impact of rising mobile and wireless device use, enhanced global connectivity infrastructure, and declining mobile device costs on the Endpoint Security Market.
Impact of Escalating Geopolitical Tensions on Middle East and Africa Endpoint Security Market
Escalating geopolitical tensions, exacerbated by the Russia-Ukraine war, have significantly impacted the Middle East and Africa Endpoint Security Market. Heightened global uncertainties have led to increased demand for advanced security solutions, propelling the market's growth. The region's strategic location and geopolitical stability concerns have prompted a surge in investments to fortify critical infrastructure and enhance security. Security system integrators are witnessing a spike in demand for cutting-edge technologies, such as AI-driven surveillance and cybersecurity, as the region seeks to bolster its defense against potential threats. However, the increased geopolitical tensions also introduce challenges, including supply chain disruptions and economic uncertainties, which may affect the market's growth trajectory in the short term.
