Global smartphone security market is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 46.1% during 2017-2024

Smartphone security has become progressively significant in mobile computing, as it is the security of business and personal information now stored on smartphones. As per OBRC studies, it is anticipated that around 22% of the total number of smartphones produced will be lost or stolen during their lifetime, and over 50% of these will never be recovered.

However, rising number of smartphone theft allow the access to unwanted intruders. It highlights the basic security features such as encryption, password protection and robust procedures to wipe the device once lost. Mobile malware is significantly more dominant on Android platform: according to Kaspersky, a cyber security company, 98% of recognized mobile malware target the Android platform.

Moreover, according to Pew Internet Research Organization, 59% of adults owned a smartphone in 2014 and in 2016, 77% adults in US owned a smartphone which marks an 18% growth in two years.

Rising Number Of Smartphones Users: Growth Drivers
Smartphones are widely used to deliver convenient and an efficient way to find, share information and access; though, the accessibility of this information has triggered an upsurge in cyberattacks. Rising numbers of smartphone users certainly impacts the growth of the smartphone security market, as cyber threats to smartphones are increasing which significantly generates the demand for smartphone security solutions.

As per mobility report published by Ericsson, there were around 2.6 billion smartphone users presents across the globe in 2014 and the number is expected to rise to 6.1 billion by the end of 2020.

It is estimated that one in six smartphone users across the globe have fall over target to cyber-attack. Almost 30% of tablet users and about 60% of smartphone users are susceptible to hacking as these devices have no protection against malicious software.

Further, as per the publisher's studies android-based smartphones are finding lucrative adoption in smartphone market owing to offered benefits such as cost effectiveness, wider application, low switching cost and others. In 2017, as per GSM Association, global smartphone adoption assessed to be 57% and is expected to reach 77% by 2025. Cyber threats range from viruses and Trojans to toolkits and botnets. Currently, around 96% of smartphones do not have pre-installed security software as per OBRC Studies.

This makes malicious cyber attackers to target various devices that are prevalent (i.e. iPhone, Android and Blackberry). Conventional security software found in PCs, such as antivirus, firewalls, and encryption, is not presently obtainable in smartphones.

Furthermore, smartphones are more susceptible than personal computers due to increase in the users of smartphones to do personal tasks. Currently, smartphone users can email, use social networking applications (Twitter and Facebook), download and buy numerous applications and shop.

Smartphone security market in Asia-Pacific Lucrative market
