Summary

The global network security market size is projected to grow from USD 78.2 billion in 2024 to USD 111.0 billion by 2029 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.2% during the forecast period. A major contributing factor to the growth of the platform for network security solutions is the increasing reliance on digital transformation initiatives. Digitalization is becoming more common, and at the same time, cyber-attacks may be more serious than ever before. That is why businesses are required to use advanced network security solutions for digital asset protection, securing digital transactions, and providing the integrity of digital operations, which makes security a key factor in a successful digital transformation.
"By vertical, the healthcare & life sciences segment accounts for the highest CAGR during the forecast period."
The healthcare & life sciences vertical is becoming a prime target for cybercriminals. Healthcare enterprises have a large repository of patient information, such as names, phone numbers, social security numbers, insurance details, biometric data, email addresses, and medical records. Furthermore, healthcare firms also store customers' payment data, which becomes a target for hackers to exploit. Security breaches and unauthorized access to patient's personal information result in various fraudulent attacks. Healthcare firms are shifting toward digitally driven processes and rapidly adopting zero-trust security solutions for the digital security of internal and external endpoints and internal networks.

"By Network Environment, the branch campus network security segment accounts for a larger market share."
Branch campus network security is essential for protecting the IT infrastructure and data communications of any organization with multiple remote or satellite locations. These branch campuses—whether they belong to businesses, government agencies, healthcare facilities, or educational institutions—are connected to a central network, creating potential vulnerabilities that need robust security measures. Branch campus security requires robust measures such as secure VPNs, firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and endpoint protection to protect sensitive information and ensure operational continuity. The critical suppliers that are giving the needed network security solutions for branch campus networks are Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, Broadcom, Check Point, Huawei, Juniper Networks, and Cloudflare.
