The advanced persistent threat protection market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The size of the advanced persistent threat protection market has seen a significant expansion in the past few years. It is projected to increase from a worth of $9.21 billion in 2024 to a valuation of $11.33 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.0%.
The surge observed in the historic timeframe was due to large-scale cyber attacks, enhanced connectivity and digitization, as well as increasing global network interconnectivity.
The advanced persistent threat protection market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of advanced persistent threat protection is projected to witness substantial growth in the coming years, reaching $25.63 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.6%.
The growth for the forecast period is likely due to the surge in hybrid work environments, the prevalence of ransomware and extortion attacks as well as increased threat information sharing and cooperation. Significant trends for this forecast period encompass the incorporation of AI and machine learning, the implementation of zero trust architecture, the sharing of threat intelligence, adoption of cloud-native apt protection, and the integration of devOps.
The growing complexity of cyber threats is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the advanced persistent threat protection market in the future. The term cyber threats refer to potential risks or harmful activities that take advantage of weaknesses in computer systems, networks, software, or data. Reasons for the increase in cyber threats include technological progression, exceptional connectivity, the maturation of cybercrime, and a lack of awareness. Advanced persistent threat (APT) protection encompasses a comprehensive approach to guard against complex and lengthy cyber-attacks initiated by highly capable threat actors, often backed by significant resources, and to effectively detect, prevent, and respond to such threats. For example, in November 2022, the Australian Cyber Security Centre, a cyber security agency based in Australia, reported that cybercrime reports received in 2022 were 76,000, a rise of 13% from 2021. Thus, the escalating complexity of cyber threats is driving the expansion of the advanced persistent threat protection market.
