The anticipated growth of the cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM) market is attributed to the increasing adoption of cloud computing. Cloud computing, involving the provision of various computer services over the Internet, plays a vital role in CIEM by offering tools and platforms for effective management of user identities, access controls, and permissions in cloud-based environments. In December 2021, Eurostat reported that 41% of EU enterprises utilized cloud computing, with large businesses adopting it at a rate of 72% in 2021. Medium-sized businesses showed a 7-percentage point increase to 53%, and small businesses increased by 5 percentage points to 38%. This surge in cloud computing adoption is a key driver for the growth of the CIEM market.

The growth of the cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM) market is further fueled by the increasing prevalence of cyber threats. Cyber threats involve malicious activities aimed at exploiting vulnerabilities in computer systems and networks. Cloud services are attractive targets for cybercriminals due to the valuable data they store. CIEM solutions assist organizations in managing and securing entitlements and permissions associated with cloud infrastructure, ensuring that only authorized users have access. According to the UK Government Cyber Breaches Survey 2023, 24% of charities reported experiencing breaches or attacks in the previous 12 months, highlighting the heightened cyber threats. This scenario is contributing to the growth of the CIEM market.
