This is expected to boost the value of India’s security market, which is expected to grow to $2.51 billion in 2022, the report said.
Services, followed by software and hardware, accounted for most of the enterprise spending. Government, banking, financial services and insurance and healthcare are some of the sectors where a “considerable investment” was seen, the IDC report noted.
