This Network Forensics report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.
The network forensics market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.36 billion in 2024 to $3.75 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased sophistication of cyber-attacks, need for incident investigation and response, compliance and regulatory requirements, proliferation of network security threats, growth in digital data traffic.
The network forensics market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.09 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of 5g networks, integration of artificial intelligence in network forensics, rise of IoT and connected device threats, emphasis on threat hunting and proactive defense, increased focus on insider threat detection. Major trends in the forecast period include encrypted traffic analysis, cloud-based network forensics solutions, automation and orchestration in forensic investigations, integration with endpoint detection and response (EDR), real-time network forensics for rapid response.
The rising frequency of cyberattacks and advanced threats is anticipated to drive the growth of the network forensics market in the future. Cyberattacks refer to attempts to gain unauthorized access to a computer or system, while an advanced persistent threat (APT) involves a prolonged and targeted cyberattack where an intruder gains access to a network and remains undetected for an extended period. Network forensics plays a crucial role in preventing cyberattacks by capturing, recording, and analyzing network traffic and audit files. For example, in February 2023, the Australian Cyber Security Centre, an Australia-based cybersecurity agency, reported that cybercrime incidents reached 76,000 in 2022, reflecting a 13% increase from the previous year. Therefore, the growing incidence of cyberattacks and advanced threats is propelling the growth of the network forensics market.
The increasing demand for the internet is poised to fuel the growth of the network forensics market. The internet, a vast global network connecting computers and computer networks, facilitates communication and information sharing across devices regardless of their physical location. Network forensics leverages internet usage for capturing and analyzing network traffic to identify suspicious activities, threats, and vulnerabilities through data collection. According to Meltwater in February 2023, internet users in the UK increased by 224 thousand (+0. 3%) between 2022 and 2023, reaching a total of 66. 11 million users. Hence, the rising demand for the internet plays a pivotal role in propelling the growth of the network forensics market.
The adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the forensics industry emerges as a notable trend in the scientific network forensics market. Major companies in the network forensics market are incorporating IoT in the forensics industry to enhance their market position. IoT network forensics involves analyzing IoT devices to investigate crimes. For instance, in June 2022, NetWitness, a US-based network security monitoring software provider, launched NetWitness XDR. This platform offers a comprehensive set of capabilities, providing visibility into key data planes across organizations, including network, logs, Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR), endpoint, IoT, User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA), Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP), and new asset analytics and prioritization, all accessible through a unified interface and data model.
Major companies in the network forensics market are driving innovation by introducing new technological products like Digital Forensics Incident Response (DFIR) to enhance profitability. DFIR automates incident response investigations by incorporating nuanced forensic artifacts into threat hunting. For example, in April 2022, Cybereason, a US-based software company, introduced DFIR. This solution is designed to investigate the source of serious security events, track attacker paths for remediation, and identify security gaps for resolution. Used in network security for cyberattacks, DFIR reduces remediation time and empowers analysts to detect and remediate security issues more efficiently, ultimately reducing the meantime to detect and remediate cyber threats.
