Over the past year, Kaspersky Lab's global revenues increased by 7% and reached $ 711 million. Two thirds of sales accounted for the mass market. According to company spokesperson Julia Krivosheina, Kaspersky Lab's online sales increased by 13%. Laboratories' revenues in the corporate market grew by 1% in dollar terms. In local currencies (euro, ruble, yen) growth was 7%. Incomes from large corporations increased by 7% in dollars and by 16% in local currencies.
"Kaspersky Lab" is an international company, and the fact of growth of 7% for it in current conditions is already a positive phenomenon, says Cisco security expert Alexey Lukatsky. The company occupies over 50% of the Russian market. Therefore, according to Lukatsky, even the policy of import substitution adopted in the state cannot promote growth.
In 2013, the growth in Kaspersky Lab's global revenue was even slower - 6% per year. Yevgeny Kaspersky explained this slowdown by increasing competition and saturation of markets. However, in earlier years, revenue growth reached 40-60%.

As of July 2014, the company's revenues in Russia together with Kazakhstan, Mongolia and Uzbekistan ranked third after Europe and the United States. According to IDC estimates, the Russian market accounts for about 20% of Kaspersky Lab's global revenues in dollar terms.
Managing Director of the company in Russia, Sergey Zemkov,
explained to Vedomosti that saving on information security can lead to bad consequences. Therefore, it is expected that customers will continue to allocate funds for this.
Zemkov also notes that in connection with the emergence of new laws in the field of information security, there will be additional demand for relevant software products.
