The number of secure internet servers in India has shown a significant upward trend from 2013 to 2023, with a standing value of 863.82 units per million persons in 2023. Over the past five years, there has been an average annual growth rate (CAGR) of 36.02%. The year-on-year growth rate demonstrated notable increases, with the highest surges occurring between 2016 and 2017 (221.15%) and from 2019 to 2020 (107.21%). However, growth rates; although still impressive, have begun to decline in more recent years, with a 17.16% rise from 2022 to 2023.
Forecasts predict that by 2028, the number of secure internet servers will reach 1490 units per million persons, reflecting a forecasted CAGR of 8.48% over the next five years and an overall growth rate of 50.25%. This suggests a more stabilized yet positive trend as the market matures.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of emerging cybersecurity regulations, advancements in encryption technologies, and the increasing adoption of e-commerce and online services which will likely drive further growth in the deployment of secure internet servers. Additionally, developments in India's digital infrastructure and policies promoting digital literacy could significantly influence future growth rates.
