Mexico Cyber Security Market Forecast and Trends

Growth Drivers

Growing Cybersecurity Threats on Mexico

Mexico now ranks 52 out of 182 countries in terms of vulnerability to cyberattacks, according to the International Telecommunications Union (ITU). Mexico witnessed a sharp surge in the cyberattacks after the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020. According to a research report by cybersecurity company Fortinet, there were more than 41 billion attempted cyberattacks registered in Latin America, of which 34% occurred in Mexico alone. With such increasing numbers, the public and private sectors, as well as the government, are considerably investing in cybersecurity solutions, which is expected to boost the market throughout the forecast period.

Increasing Number of e-Commerce Platforms

With a high concentration of popular e-commerce websites like Amazon Mexico, Walmart Mexico, Mercado Libre, Home Depot Mexico, etc., Mexico is the 17th largest market for e-commerce. With the flourishing e-commerce industry in the country, the use of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and online payment platforms has also increased, leaving the country vulnerable to cyberattacks. Thus, the e-commerce companies are significantly investing in IT tools and adoption of cybersecurity solutions to protect the business as well as its customers from potential cyberattacks. These factors are expected to propel the growth of the Mexico cybersecurity market.

Restraints

Lack of Structured Cybersecurity Laws in The Country

There is no 'Mexican' legislation that strictly specifies the scope of cybersecurity or the consequences of cyberattacks. Although the 'Federal Criminal Code' regulates illicit activity done by electronic means that can be categorized as cybercrimes, its scope is insufficient to handle the growing threat of cyberattacks. Furthermore, the lack of established cyber security legislation shields firms from not providing their users with privacy and data security. This is a major impediment to the growth of the Mexican cyber security market.

Impact of COVID-19 on Mexico Cyber Security Market

COVID-19 offered unprecedented opportunities for growth in the Mexican cyber security market and accelerated it by several years. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for cyber security services sharply increased due to an increase in the number of cyberattacks. Additionally, Mexico's cybersecurity companies are investing in digital processes and adopting tools to strengthen their security in order to increase their competitiveness to meet the growing market demand and complexities of cyberattacks. In the post-COVID-19 period, these factors are expected to boost the Mexico cyber security market.
