The cloud security market size has been witnessing rapid growth due to several enabling factors.
• In 2024, the market stood at $17.11 billion, growing to $19.71 billion in 2025, a steady CAGR of 15.2%.
This remarkable growth has been spurred by increasing regulatory compliance requirements, the trend of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), and the prevalence of advanced persistent threats.
The global cloud security market is projected to experience accelerated growth in the coming years.
• It is forecasted to reach $43.7 billion by 2029, at a robust CAGR of 22.0%.
The adoption of zero-trust security models, container security measures, rising global privacy concerns, and emphasis on security awareness training are expected to fuel this growth. Trends like multi-cloud security strategies and collaboration with managed security service providers will also greatly influence the market growth.
The rise in the number of cyberattacks is a significant factor propelling the growth of the cloud security market. Cyberattacks comprise of malicious attempts by individuals or organizations to breach the information system of another entity. The rise in such attacks escalates the demand for cybersecurity. For instance, the World Economic Forum reported a 14% increase in the cost of cybercrime from 2022-23. As a result, the escalating number of cyberattacks stimulates the growth of the cloud security market.
