Cyber Insurance Market Worldwide Opportunities, Driving Forces, COVID-19 Impact Analysis, Future Potential 2030

The COVID-19 crisis is having a positive effect on the demand for cyber insurance, as the pandemic has shifted countries’ focus to healthcare and economic stability, thus opening the doors for cyber-criminals to hack servers and steal vital information. Malware spams, phishing attacks, and ransomware attacks have increased since the outbreak, many of which have targeted the World Health Organization (WHO). Therefore, in order to protect themselves against intellectual property and financial damage by such attacks, companies of all sizes are opting for cyber insurance.




With the growing awareness on insurance, surging number of cyber-attacks, and increasing government regulations, the profile of cyber risk management firms is becoming better. This factor is set to prove instrumental in driving the cyber insurance market at a 26.3% CAGR between 2020 and 2030, thereby leading to the increase in the industry size from $5,573.2 million in 2019 to $70,671.9 million by 2030. In 2019, standalone insurance, based on product type, was more popular, as this product allows companies to instantly compensate themselves as well as their customers for any financial loss arising out of a cyber-attack. 

Standalone cyber insurance policies compensate the insured client or customer for the credit monitoring costs, IT forensic costs, data restoration costs, and public relations expenses, which might be incurred due to a data breach. Moreover, such policies also offer cover for the direct losses due to phishing, social engineering frauds, cyber frauds, spoofing, and phreaking, as well as companies’ legal liabilities to third parties. Large enterprises are the more-significant users of cyber insurance compared to small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as such companies are rapidly deploying the cloud, artificial intelligence (AI), internet of things (IoT), big data, and machine learning (ML) technologies in their operations. 


This is leading to the creation of huge volumes of data, which includes sensitive information, including customers’ personal details. This is why such companies are regularly targeted by cyber-criminals, with the intention of getting access to a vast amount of data at once. Owing to the high risk of cyber-attacks and their high spending power, large enterprises are quickly adopting cyber insurance. Owing to the existence of several major cyber insurance companies, including Chubb Group Holdings Inc., American International Group Inc., and Lockton Incorporated, North America is currently the largest contributor to the market.

Changes in Consumer Behaviour During COVID-19 Outbreak May Affect Growth of Cyber Insurance Market

The global cyber insurance market will grow, in value, from $5,573.2 million to $70,671.9 million from 2019 to 2030. In addition to this, the market is predicted to advance at a CAGR of 26.3% from 2020 to 2030, according to the estimates of P&S Intelligence, a market research firm in India. Cyber insurance solutions are widely adopted by both small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and large enterprises.


“According to many reports, there had been data breach incidents involving nearly 8 billion records, that included phone numbers, home addresses, and credit card details during January 2019—April 2020”. Furthermore, the increasing incidence of data breaches has made the governments of many countries implement stringent cyber security policies and measures for mitigating the growing security risks, which has, in turn, boosted the demand for cyber insurance solutions across the world. 



The increasing internet penetration and digitization in several industries and business operations has tremendously increased the adoption of digital solutions such as online transactions, data analysis, and various other processes. This has also significantly increased the prevalence of cyber attacks all over the world, with soaring number of cyber fraud, theft, and data breach cases, especially those pertaining to social security numbers, passwords, credit card details, email addresses, and other confidential information, being reported every year. 


Between the two, the large enterprises are expected to generate higher demand for these solutions and systems in the future years. This is credited to the fact that the large enterprises are increasingly adopting various advanced technologies, owing to which, they are becoming more vulnerable to cyber attacks. Integrated and standalone are two main types of cyber insurance solutions used by organizations across the world.
