Key Factor Propelling Growth in the Operational Technology Incident Playbooks Market
One of the primary forces driving the expansion of the OT incident playbooks market is the growing complexity and sophistication of cyber threats. These threats encompass a variety of malicious activities, including unauthorized system access, operational disruption, data theft, and compromise of critical infrastructure through digital networks. The increasing use of artificial intelligence and advanced automation tools by threat actors has led to more intricate, targeted, and evasive cyberattacks. In response, OT incident playbooks provide essential frameworks that enhance cybersecurity resilience by offering structured response procedures to detect, contain, investigate, and recover from these complex cyber incidents with minimal operational impact.

For example, in April 2025, data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Internet Crime Complaint Center revealed that 859,532 cybercrime complaints were filed in 2024, resulting in losses exceeding $16.6 billion—a 33% increase compared to 2023. This surge in cybercrime highlights the critical need for robust incident playbooks to manage increasingly sophisticated threats, which in turn is fueling market growth.

Regional Market Leadership and Growth Potential for OT Incident Playbooks
In 2025, North America held the largest share of the operational technology incident playbooks market, reflecting the region’s advanced industrial infrastructure and strong regulatory environment. Meanwhile, Asia-Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest-growing region during the forecast period, driven by expanding industrial automation and increasing cybersecurity investments.
