The Europe Critical Infrastructure Protection Market is expected to witness market growth of 4.4% CAGR during the forecast period (2024-2031).
The Germany market dominated the Europe Critical Infrastructure Protection Market by Country in 2023, and is expected to continue to be a dominant market till 2031; thereby, achieving a market value of $13.66 billion by 2031. The UK market is exhibiting a CAGR of 3.8% during 2024-2031. Additionally, the France market would experience a CAGR of 5.2% during 2024-2031.
The evolving nature of threats in the digital age underscores the importance of protecting critical infrastructure. Cyber-attacks have become more sophisticated, targeting operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) systems that control critical assets. Attacks like ransomware, phishing, malware, and advanced persistent threats (APTs) can penetrate networks and disrupt services, making cybersecurity a core component of the market.
In addition to cyber threats, physical security remains a crucial market aspect. Physical attacks, sabotage, and even natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes can devastate infrastructure. Protecting critical facilities such as power plants, water treatment facilities, and communication hubs requires advanced surveillance systems, access control mechanisms, and contingency planning to mitigate the risks of physical breaches.
France’s focus on critical infrastructure protection stems largely from its government and defense sectors. With numerous strategic assets, including nuclear power plants and military facilities, France has made significant advancements through its Vigipirate plan, which addresses both physical and cyber threats to national security. With growing geopolitical tensions and the government's commitment to the European Defense Fund, France continues reinforcing its cybersecurity capabilities. High demand for these across key sectors is expected.
Additionally, ransomware incidents such as the 2017 NotPetya attack affected major European companies, causing billions in damages and disrupting logistics, transportation, and manufacturing sectors. These events have led to the establishment of the EU’s Cybersecurity Act and the NIS Directive, which set standards for the security of networks and information systems across the region. Thus, the region will present lucrative growth opportunities for the market throughout the forecast period.
