Cybersecurity Insurance Market was valued at USD 16.4 billion in 2023 and is projected to register a CAGR over 20.5% between 2024 and 2032.

The GDPR has strict requirements for how personal data is collected, used, and stored.

A noteworthy rise in cybersecurity incidents and associated costs could drive the cybersecurity insurance business through 2032. Cybersecurity incidents can result in significant financial losses, including data recovery, business interruption, legal expenses, and reputation damage. According to a study conducted by Comparitech, 108 individual ransomware attacks affected 2,302 medical organizations in 2021, impacting 19.76 million patient records. These attacks cost medical entities an estimated USD 7.8 billion in downtime alone. Cyber insurance provides financial protection against these potential losses, adding to its popularity among organizations.

However, some businesses might be hesitant to purchase cyber insurance due to concerns about sharing sensitive data with insurance companies and potential legal implications in the event of a cyber incident. Also, the absence of standardization across cyber insurance policies can create confusion and hinder the comparison of different offerings. This lack of standardization can make it difficult for businesses to select the most suitable policy for their needs, driving down market growth.
