The patch and remediation software market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.41 billion in 2023 to $1.69 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.3%. The growth observed during the historic period can be attributed to several factors, including the heightened frequency of cyberattacks, increased utilization of vulnerability scanners to identify weaknesses, a rise in security and data breaches prompting action, greater awareness and education about cybersecurity risks, and the expanding globalization of businesses necessitating enhanced security measures.

The patch and remediation software market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.44 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.5%. The projected increase in growth is driven by the expansion of remote workforces, the continual expansion of IT infrastructures, heightened awareness of zero-day vulnerabilities, a heightened emphasis on operational efficiency, a growing need for comprehensive security solutions, and a focus on user-centered patching strategies. Key trends anticipated in the forecast period encompass the emergence of threat intelligence platforms, the integration of cloud-native patch management solutions, advancements in visibility and reporting capabilities, the adoption of AI-driven automation, the proliferation of AI-powered patch management solutions, and the widespread adoption of security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) platforms.

The surge in cyber threats is poised to drive the expansion of the patch and remediation software market in the foreseeable future. Cyber threats encompass malicious activities aimed at stealing or harming data, disrupting digital operations, or compromising information system security. These threats stem from various factors, including increased connectivity, a lack of cybersecurity awareness, the transition to remote work setups, and the use of sophisticated attack methods. Patch and remediation software plays a critical role in helping organizations stay vigilant against cyber threats by ensuring their systems are updated with the latest security patches and updates. This software aids in identifying, prioritizing, and implementing solutions to mitigate risks, thereby reducing the likelihood of successful cyberattacks. For instance, as per a report published by the Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) in January 2024, data compromises in 2023 surged to 3,205 cases, marking a 78% increase from 1,801 cases in 2022. Hence, the escalating cyber threats are fueling growth in the patch and remediation software market.

Leading companies in the patch and remediation software sector are concentrating on developing cutting-edge solutions utilizing innovative technologies, such as automated remediation of security vulnerabilities, to gain a competitive advantage in the market. Automated remediation of security vulnerabilities involves automatically identifying, prioritizing, and resolving security weaknesses or vulnerabilities present in computer systems. For instance, Action1 Corporation, a US-based provider of a risk-based patch management platform, introduced an enhanced version of its patch management platform in December 2022.
