Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) Market Report 2025

The cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM) market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $2.28 billion in 2024 to $3.13 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 37.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased adoption of cloud computing, rising cybersecurity concerns, growth in remote work trends, expanding digital transformation initiatives, and rising data breaches.

The cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM) market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.26 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 40.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to accelerated cloud migration, heightened focus on cybersecurity in cloud environments, increased complexity of cloud infrastructure, rising demand for hybrid and multi-cloud solutions, and growing emphasis on zero-trust security models. Major trends in the forecast period include increased adoption of identity-as-a-service (IDaaS) solutions, integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in CIEM, emphasis on continuous monitoring and detection, and rising demand for automated entitlement management solutions.

The increasing adoption of cloud computing is expected to drive the growth of the cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM) market in the coming years. Cloud computing involves delivering computer services over the Internet, including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence. It plays a vital role in CIEM by providing the necessary tools and platforms to effectively manage user identities, access controls, and permissions within cloud environments. For example, in December 2023, the European Commission, a Belgium-based government body, reported that the percentage of businesses utilizing cloud computing services rose by 4.2 percentage points in 2023 compared to 2021. Therefore, the growing adoption of cloud computing is driving the expansion of the Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (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.
