Regional breakdown and analysis of each of the aforesaid segments include regions comprising North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and RoW.

Geographical Analysis

North America dominates the mobile application security testing market share and is anticipated to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period. This is due to the government policies against cyber threat that increases the adoption of robust security testing to mitigate data breach threats. 

For instance, in 2023, the U.S. government implemented the National Cybersecurity strategy to maintain digital economy that is open and safe for all. The implementation of such regulatory framework by the government incentivize businesses to invest in robust testing solutions to detect vulnerabilities and protect sensitive data, thereby boosting the market growth. 

Additionally, the rise in digital payment adoption in the region further increases the risk involved with financial payment that in turn boosts the market growth. The reliance of users on mobile apps for banking, shopping, and peer to peer payments increase the potential risk of data threat. 

The latest report of the Payments Canada states that over 15.09 billion digital transactions were held in Canada that accounts for around USD 8.83 trillion in 2023. This escalating reliance on mobile apps for mobile phone transaction accelerates the need for rigorous security testing to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities and ensure robust security against cyber threats that propels the market growth. 

On the other hand, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to show a steady rise in the mobile application security testing market demand due to the rise in smartphone adoption. The report of the Shanghai Municipal People’s Government in 2023 states that the smartphone sales in China is expected to grow by 3.6% that is around 287 million by the end of 2024. 

The increasing adoption of smartphones is driving the demand for smartphone application security testing to enhance app resilience and protect users' sensitive data and images stored on mobile devices, thereby boosting its demand in the region. 

Moreover, the significant growth of the telecommunication industry in the region increases the potential to cyber security threat due to rise in number of users accessing mobile apps that in turn accelerates the market growth. 

The latest report of the India Brand Equity Foundation report, India is the second-largest telecom market in the world with 1.19 billion users. Consequently, there is a heightened need for comprehensive security testing to ensure integrity of user data and maintain reliability of mobile services by detecting potential data threats in the network that propels the market growth in the region.
