「2015年から2019年にかけて出荷されるスマートフォンとタブレットの数は98億台を超える、と私たちは予測していますが、これらの機器の多くはユーザーが主として使うデバイスとなるでしょう。モバイル機器の設置台数がものすごい勢いで拡大を続けて社会の基盤ともなるにつれ、携帯機器に特化したマルウェアも増大し、このためモバイルセキュリティのクライアントソフトの市場も成長していきます」 とWilsonは続けた。 モバイルセキュリティ・クライアント市場のハイライト
- モバイルセキュリティ・クライアント関連の売り上げは全世界でこの2014年第4四半期も引き続き10%の成長を続け、$5.66億に達した。
- 2014年の一年間では、アジア太平洋地域がモバイル機器用セキュリティ・クライアントの売り上げを牽引し、世界全体の35%を占めた。北米が33%と僅差で続き、EMEAが29%となったが、ラテンアメリカははるかに低い3%にとどまった。
- 全世界のモバイル機器セキュリティ用クライアントソフトウェアの市場は、Infonetics/IHSの予測では今後急成長を遂げて2019年までに$38億に達する。
Mobile Security Client Market Chalks Up Another Year of Double-Digit Growth Campbell, CALIFORNIA (April 28, 2015)-Technology market research firm Infonetics Research, now part of IHS Inc. (NYSE: IHS), today reported that worldwide mobile security client revenue hit $1.97 billion in 2014, a 46 percent increase from 2013 as consumers and enterprises looked to secure their devices and networks. Infonetics' 2015 Mobile Device Security Client Software market size and forecasts report tracks enterprise and consumer security client software for mobile devices.
"For now, the vast majority of hackers continue to focus their energy on the hundreds of millions of desktop computers around the globe, but the world is going mobile, and the hackers will too," said Jeff Wilson, research director for cybersecurity technology at Infonetics Research, now part of IHS.
"We expect over 9.8 billion smartphones and tablets to ship between 2015 and 2019, many of which will serve as the primary device for many users. This massively expanding installed base of mobile devices is what's driving development of mobile-specific malware and growth in the mobile security client space," Wilson said.
