India Cybersecurity
The Indian cybersecurity market is projected to grow from approximately $5.6 billion in 2025 to $12.9 billion by 2030, reflecting a compounded annual growth rate of 18.3%. For U.S. exporters, this presents an opportunity to enter a high-growth market with strong demand for advanced solutions. Areas such as threat intelligence, cloud security, data protection, and incident response are particularly sought after. U.S. companies can leverage their expertise in these areas to support India’s rapidly expanding digital ecosystem. Success will depend on building local partnerships with system integrators, value-added resellers and distributors, navigating regulatory requirements such as the 2023 Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA), and tailoring solutions to meet local needs.
As businesses, government agencies, and individuals in India face mounting threats such as data breaches, ransomware, and cybercrime, the demand for advanced cybersecurity solutions has risen significantly. Key sectors including banking, telecommunications, e-commerce, and healthcare are making substantial investment to address emerging risks and safeguard critical infrastructure.
The growing adoption of cloud technologies and the need to comply with data privacy regulations, most notably the DPDPA, are further fueling the market expansion. The DPDPA establishes a legal framework for protecting personal data in India. In 2025, the government released the draft of 2025 Digital Personal Data Protection Rules (Rules) to implement the DPDPA for public consultation (as of September 29, 2025, the Rules had not been finalized by the Government of India). Both the DPDPA and the Rules include provisions governing personal data protection, cross-border data transfers, and organizational requirements in the event of a data breach.
India’s fast-growing cybersecurity sector offers strong opportunities for U.S. exporters. By tapping into India’s expanding tech ecosystem, U.S. firms can access dynamic market segments, drive innovation through collaboration, and enhance their competitiveness in critical and emerging technologies.
