Data Center Security Market - Forecasts from 2024 to 2029

The data center security market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 17.36%, from US$15.145 billion in 2024 to reach US$33.717 billion by 2029.

The global data center security market is estimated to attain an increasing market share during the forecasted year as the growth in the total global demand for internet and data centers increases. Segmented by type, the mid-sized data centers are expected to have the largest market share in the global data center security market. Additionally, the monitoring solutions in the physical security solutions category are anticipated to experience significant growth. The managed security services category of the service segment is forecasted to grow faster than the security consulting and professional services category. Under the industry vertical segment, the BFSI and the media & entertainment category will attain greater market share. The global data center security market is estimated to witness a major increase with the rising global data breaches and cyber security attacks.

The data center security system is a physical and digital support system that helps maintain the data center operations, applications, and data safe from any possible breaches and cyber attacks. The data center security solution offers multiple benefits to organizations, like enhancing the reliability and scalability of the data centers. The data generated by the various end-user industries, due to the growing internet penetration with the increasing usage of internet services, is boosting the demand for the construction of data centers to manage, save, and control the data effectively.

The growing cases of cyber-attacks and data breaches worldwide are estimated to boost the global data center security market. Similarly, the increasing usage of the internet worldwide is estimated to grow the data center security market globally. With the global increase in internet usage, data generation worldwide has increased significantly, pushing the need for the data center security market.

Banking and financial services are expected to see faster adoption of data center security solutions over the forecasted period. This is due to the increasing concern among banking and financial service companies about the rise in cyber threats and attacks. The segment is witnessing a rapid and sudden increase in the adoption of data center security solutions as they provide optimum protection of personal and financially sensitive data, which is constantly increasing due to the rising number of users.

The increase in the demand for advanced security solutions while enabling enterprises to meet regulatory compliance is the major factor driving the data center security market growth. Other market drivers include virtualization and cloud computing, the growth in sophisticated attacks, and the rise in data traffic, which presents the immediate need for secured connectivity.

Restraints of the data center security market include piracy, limited budget IT, and availability of low-cost substitutes. Planning a data center budget is burdensome for companies due to the many variables that need to be considered. The old-style license and the maintenance software agreement are running the stream. The market players are taking this restraint into account and are offering subscription-based pricing, thus removing underlying costs from the data center budget.
