The E-mail Security Market Is Projected to Reach Nearly $6.7 Billion in Revenues by 2013

PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwire - July 27, 2009) - The Radicati Group, Inc.'s latest study, "E-mail Security Market, 2009-2013," offers an in-depth analysis of the market for E-mail Security. It provides market size, installed base and revenue market share by vendor, four-year forecasts, e-mail traffic statistics, spam and virus statistics, cost of spam and viruses, and more.

The study looks at four segments of the e-mail security market: E-mail Security Software, E-mail Security Appliances, Hosted E-mail Security Services, and E-mail Security for Service Providers. E-mail Security Software is currently the largest segment of the market; however, E-mail Security Appliances are showing fastest growth at over 40% annually.

The growth in e-mail traffic means that over the next four years, organizations will need increasingly better defenses against all types of spam and malware. Poorly protected organizations will face increased IT costs, loss of productivity, network downtime, spiraling bandwidth costs, and more. Battling spam alone is very costly -- in 2009, a typical 1,000-user organization spends over $1.8 million annually to manage spam.

The report forecasts that the e-mail security market will grow from over $4.4 billion in 2009, to nearly $6.7 billion in 2013.
