The industrial cybersecurity market is expected to reach $42.96 billion by 2029, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.2% from 2022 to 2029, according to a new market research report, Industrial Cybersecurity Market, from Meticulous Research.

Industrial Cybersecurity Explained

Industrial cybersecurity involves the prevention of cyberattacks on systems, networks, programs, devices and data, Meticulous Research explained in a prepared statement. As such, cyberattacks have the biggest impact on businesses, leading to operational disruption and loss of data, sales and profits. And because cyberattacks are usually aimed at accessing, changing, damaging or destroying sensitive data and interrupting business processes, cybersecurity has become vital among organizations due to rapidly increasing attacks.

The increasing dependence on technology and data in the industrial sector triggers the need for cybersecurity solutions, Meticulous Research asserts. Thus, increasing investments to fortify digital infrastructure, the growing sophistication of cyberattacks, and the increasing demand for high-security solutions to prevent cyberattacks in the manufacturing industry, are driving market growth.

Key Trends from the Meticulous Research Report
