The growing number of cyber attacks is expected to propel the growth of the antivirus software market in the coming years. A cyberattack is a cyberspace-based attack aimed at intentionally disrupting, disabling, destroying, or manipulating a computer or other device.
There is an increase in hacking and data breaches in computers, laptops and mobiles using viruses or malware. Antivirus software can block or prevent the virus or malware from entering the device and prevent cyberattacks. For example, in 2020 Air India, an India-based airline, reported that hackers had compromised their servers and accessed the personal data of 4.5 million flyers. In India, in 2020 alone, 1.16 million cybersecurity cases are recorded. Hence, the growing number of cyber attacks is driving the antivirus software market.
Cloud-based antivirus is a trend that is gaining popularity in the antivirus software market. Cloud antivirus or cloud-based antivirus is a solution that offloads work to a cloud-based server instead of bogging down the computer with an antivirus suite. Cloud antivirus protects PCs, laptops and mobile devices by providing behavior-based filtering and catching malware capable of transferring data. For example, according to Tracxn Technologies Limited, a 2021 report by an India-based software company, major companies such as Malwarebytes, Avast, Panda Security, Qihoo 360 Technology, AVG Technologies use cloud-based antivirus solutions.
In July 2020, NortonLifeLock, a US-based cybersecurity software company, acquired Avira for $360 million. Through this acquisition, Avira serves a broad customer base in Europe and key emerging markets with a range of consumer-focused cybersecurity and privacy solutions. Avira is a German security software company specializing in antivirus software.
