In a recent IDC report titled IDC Playbook for Tech Marketing Leaders Tech Marketing Leaders: Capitalizing on SMB and Midmarket Security Spending for Growth in Asia/Pacific (Including Japan), IDC highlights the current state of the cybersecurity market for vendors targeting the small and medium-sized businesses (SMB) and midmarket segment in Asia/Pacific (including Japan) (APJ). SMBs and midmarket companies account for 46% of the total security spending in the region. The market revenue is poised for exponential growth, projected to surpass USD$6 billion by 2027, driven by a robust compound annual growth rate of 13% over five years.

As cyber threats intensify, including a year-over-year rise in ransomware attacks, both large enterprises and SMBs in the region are prioritizing cybersecurity investments. According to the IDC Security Spending Guide, the total security spending in APJ was US$7.6 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.5%, reaching USD$12 billion by 2027.

Despite regional government efforts, the lack of uniform cybersecurity standards across the region hinders cohesive cybersecurity efforts and coordination. The Indoโ€“Pacific tensions and AI-powered threats have increased cyber-espionage in the region. In response to the regional tensions, countries are forming strategic cybersecurity alliances and partnerships to enhance cybersecurity resilience and response capabilities. Driven mostly by the midmarket segment, countries like Australia, Japan, and China are expected to spend the highest on security solutions, while SMBs/midmarket in India are expected to have the highest growth in security spending.

โ€œTo thrive in the shifting landscape of the APJ region, security vendors must adapt their strategies to the varying security regulations across countries, says Supriya Deka, Research Manager, Asia Pacific Small and Medium-sized, and Digital Native Businesses Program, IDC.

โ€œAdopting an innovative mindset and creating localized compliance solutions will enhance credibility. This will require them to adopt an innovative mindset. Engaging in partnerships with local vendors, startups, and government entities can cultivate a collaborative approach to cybersecurity,โ€ ends Supriya Deka.
