IoT Security Market Report 2025

The IoT security market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $8.7 billion in 2024 to $11.36 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 30.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing cybersecurity threats, proliferation of IoT devices, regulatory compliance requirements, high-profile security breaches, integration with existing it infrastructure.

The IoT security market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $35.99 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 33.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to IoT expansion in critical infrastructure, growing complexity of IoT ecosystems, emphasis on zero trust security models, privacy concerns and data protection, shift to cloud-based IoT security. Major trends in the forecast period include supply chain security concerns, incident response planning, integration of security into development lifecycle, quantum-safe security solutions, collaborative security ecosystems.

The growth of smart cities is anticipated to significantly boost the IoT security market. As populations increase, the importance of sustainable development becomes more critical. Smart cities are designed to manage high traffic volumes, control population density, and enhance public safety. Implementing IoT devices is key to achieving these objectives, as they enable the interconnection of devices to securely exchange data, identify patterns, and deliver effective solutions. For example, remotely connected CCTV systems and automated incident detection - utilizing computers to continuously monitor traffic conditions and identify incidents or traffic jams - facilitate faster responses to potential threats. Additionally, IoT-driven crowd management solutions help monitor and control large gatherings, while smart street lighting contributes to lower crime rates and improved driving conditions. This growing demand for security in smart cities is leading to increased investments in the IoT security market. For instance, in June 2022, the SmartAmerica Challenge, an initiative by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), reported that city governments are expected to allocate $41 trillion over the next 20 years for infrastructure upgrades, including smart city projects. Thus, the rise of smart cities is a key driver of growth in the IoT security market.

The rising number of cyberattacks stands as a significant driver for the growth of the IoT security market. Cyberattacks, which involve illicit attempts to access computer systems or networks for malicious purposes, pose a considerable threat to connected devices on corporate networks. Recognizing the potential risks, organizations prioritize IoT security as a central component of their cybersecurity strategies. For example, in January 2023, The Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) reported a 48% surge in phishing attacks during the first half of 2022, resulting in 11,395 reported incidents and a collective financial impact of $12.3 million on businesses. This growing trend of cyberattacks is expected to propel the market growth of IoT security in the foreseeable future.

Leading companies in the IoT security market are concentrating on launching advanced solutions, such as cybersecurity platforms, to enhance their competitive positioning. Cybersecurity platforms are centralized solutions that integrate security visibility, analysis, and controls across multiple layers and data sources, thereby improving protection, scalability, and performance. For example, in May 2023, Trend Micro Inc., a US-based IT security firm, unveiled Trend Vision One. This unified cybersecurity platform is designed to help organizations prepare for, withstand, and swiftly recover from threats while empowering their security teams. Trend Vision One includes support for IoT security and provides comprehensive protection across various domains, including operational technology (OT), which involves IoT devices. The platform accommodates hybrid environments, ensuring strong security across endpoints, servers, cloud services, and networks. Additionally, it features a wide array of native security sensors that deliver extensive protection against a broad spectrum of threats.

Major companies are innovating new products. IBM, a prominent technology corporation, has introduced the IBM Security QRadar Suite. This suite is designed to streamline and improve the workflow of security analysts throughout the entire incident lifecycle. Launched in April 2023, the IBM Security QRadar Suite is built upon an open framework and tailored to address the specific requirements of hybrid cloud environments. Equipped with a unified user interface, advanced AI, and automation, the suite aims to empower analysts to operate with increased velocity, efficiency, and accuracy within their essential tools.

In September 2023, SecurityBridge GmbH, a Germany-based cybersecurity solutions provider, successfully acquired Protect4S for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition is poised to strengthen SecurityBridge's capacity to provide heightened security solutions to SAP customers while introducing cutting-edge cybersecurity research within the industry. Protect4S, a Netherlands-based SAP security specialist, had previously collaborated with SecurityBridge to enhance SAP security measures.
