Increasing concern among the customers regarding the systemic cyber events, where one cyber event triggers multiple claims under national and global levels is also favoring the growth of standalone cyber insurance market.
Based on enterprise, the market is segmented into small and medium enterprise and large enterprise. Lack of adoption of effective measures in terms of effective technology deployment and adequate insurance policies is one of the major factors that is mainly fueling the market growth. World Economic Forum’s global risk report also states that cybercrime has become a part of interconnected global risk with attacks being targeted on all business.
Additionally, cybersecurity report from Keeper Security also states that, hackers have breached over 14 Million out of 28 Million SME’s in 2016. Furthermore, 60 percent and 70 percent of SMEs are unable to survive a breach and are out of business owing to no supplemental support mechanism in place to help them rebuild the company and reinstate their operations.
Based on applications, the market is segmented into financial institutions, retail & wholesale, healthcare, business services, manufacturing, technology and others. Healthcare segment holds a significant share in the global cyber insurance market, owing to increased data breach occurrence in the healthcare sector. In 2017, about 477 data breach issues were reported to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The data breaches affected a total of 5.579 Million patient health records (Source: Protenus).Other key trend is, increase in hacking incidents including ransomware/malware seemingly doubled from 2016 to 2017.

Regional Insights
Global cyber insurance market is mainly studied across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and LAMEA.
North America is estimated to hold major share in the global cyber insurance market, owing to increase in the number of cyber attacks and breaches coupled with the rise in economic losses. For instance, in 2014, about 783 data breaches were reported with 85.6 million record exposed, while in the first half of 2015, about 400 data breach event were reported. According to McAfee, annual cost of global economy from cybercrime is about USD 445 billion within a year. This increase in the number of cyber attacks leads to huge economic loss, thereby raising the demand for cyber insurance.
In European region, the most coverage offered are business interruption and data restoration. Cyber extortion coverage, and legal support coverage are also available but in lower extent. Emergence of EU’s General Data Protection Regulation has also increased the awareness about cyber risk and its associated economic losses, which would further stimulate the market growth. Furthermore, in Europe standalone cyber insurance possess greater demand, owing to difficulty in quantifying cyber coverage, as information related to cyber incidents are not collected under Solvency II reporting requirements.
Rapid adoption of digital technologies in the countries such as China and India have led to the increased risk of cyber breaches, thereby resulting in considerable economic losses. For instance, following figure depicts total consumer loss through cybercrime worldwide in 2017.

In case of any occurrence of data privacy breach, fines upto 2% of the company’s turnover would be levied by a new public agency.
