Analysis of the Greater China Secure Content Management Market, Forecast to 2023

Greater China was the second-largest SCM market and the fastest-growing in 2018. While the Web security segment experienced stronger growth, driven by rising concerns among enterprises to monitor threats posed by employees’ use of the Internet, the e-mail security segment still remains a highly targeted attack vector due to the increasing complexity of the threat landscape.

Over the next 5 years, enforcement of regulations, as mandated by the government, and innovation across key verticals, will drive market growth. The Chinese Government’s introduction of Regulation on the Internet Security Supervision and Inspection by Public Security Organs will drive future security investments. Similarly, the Taiwanese Government introduced the Cybersecurity Management Regulation in 2018 to boost threat resilience. Moreover, the rapid progress of digitalization among key industries has contributed to the stronger dependence on information systems and will continue to drive investments in security to secure network information systems against vulnerabilities.
