According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Next Generation AntiVirus market size was valued at US$ million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ million by 2032 with a CAGR of %during review period.
Next-generation antivirus software is an intelligent, behavior-driven, and cloud-collaborative endpoint malware protection technology system developed in contrast to traditional signature-based antivirus technologies. NGAV, relying on machine learning, behavioral analysis, threat intelligence, cloud-based big data modeling, and real-time monitoring capabilities, can identify and block malicious behavior even in the absence of signatures, unknown samples, file-less attacks, and multi-stage attack chains. It is one of the core components of modern endpoint protection platforms.
Gross Margin Levels
Next-generation antivirus/modern endpoint security belongs to the typical high-margin SaaS/software sector. On the one hand, the main costs of the products are concentrated in R&D investment and cloud infrastructure, with extremely low marginal costs for a single new endpoint; on the other hand, the subscription model of enterprise customers allows ARR (Average Revenue Expected) to accumulate continuously, resulting in gross margins far higher than traditional hardware and on-premises software. Taking cloud-native NGAV vendors as an example, their disclosed GAAP gross margins in the past two years have typically been in the range of 70%–78%. Although traditional security vendors have more diversified product lines overall, the gross margins of endpoint security/platform businesses also remain high, with overall operating profit margins around 18–24%. In summary, under the "pure software + cloud subscription + security platform package" model, the ex-factory/subscription gross margin of the NGAV industry can be roughly considered to be in the range of 65%–80%, with a central value of about 70%–75%. After deducting the high investment in sales and R&D, leading vendors are gradually transitioning from losses to operating profits, while long-tail vendors are still in a growth stage characterized by "high gross margins but high expenses."
Industry Drivers
The core forces driving the continued expansion of the next-generation antivirus market can be summarized into four main lines: threat evolution, architectural changes, IT landscape transformation, and compliance pressures. First, the global cyberattack landscape is becoming increasingly complex, with ransomware, supply chain attacks, fileless attacks, and living-off-the-land techniques constantly proliferating. Traditional signature-based antivirus software is no longer effective against combined attacks of "zero-day + unsigned + multi-stage," making NGAV/EPP, based on behavioral analysis, machine learning, and real-time threat intelligence, the "new standard" for enterprise endpoint security. Second, enterprise IT architectures are rapidly evolving towards cloudification, remote work, and mobility. Endpoint forms are expanding from PCs to mobile devices, virtual desktops, cloud workloads, and IoT/OT devices, leading to an exponential increase in the attack surface. This forces customers to upgrade from single-point antivirus tools to modern endpoint security platforms that combine "unified cloud management + cross-platform agents + XDR integration."
