The ddos protection and mitigation market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for DDoS protection and mitigation has seen swift expansion in the last few years. It's expected to surge from $4.7 billion in 2024 to $5.36 billion in 2025, marking a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.9%.
The increase during the historical period can be associated with a surge in DDoS attacks, heightened reliance on the internet, proliferation of IoT devices, and the growth of e-commerce and online services.
The ddos protection and mitigation market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the DDoS protection and mitigation market is set to undergo substantial growth, reaching a market value of $10.29 billion in 2029. This represents an impressive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.7%.
Several factors are contributing to this projected growth, such as the development of advanced DDoS techniques, the vulnerabilities of 5G networks, integration with threat intelligence, and a focus on application-layer attacks. Other notable trends expected during this forecast period include enhanced collaboration and information sharing, the application of AI and machine learning, multi-layered defensive measures, prevention of zero-day attacks, and services for DDoS protection based in the cloud.
The escalation in cyberattacks on websites is predicted to stimulate the expansion of the DDoS protection and mitigation market. These cyberattacks represent intentional and harmful actions carried out by individuals or organizations to violate another person's information system and disrupt their network. DDoS protection and mitigation serve to safeguard a server or network that is subjected to a DDoS (distributed denial-of-service) attack and hence, the rise in cyberattacks amplifies the need for DDoS protection and mitigation. In July 2024, for example, Check Point, a software security provider in Israel, reported that cyber-attacks were trending upwards worldwide, showing a 30% uptick in weekly attacks on corporate networks in Q2 2024 in comparison to Q2 2023, and a 25% increase compared to Q1 2024. On average, organizations encountered 1,636 hit per week. As a result, the surge in cyberattacks is propelling the growth of the DDoS protection and mitigation market.

Technological progress represents a significant trend in the DDoS protection and mitigation market. Major businesses in this sector are concentrating on creating novel technology-based solutions to consolidate their market position. For example, in April 2024, US-based fiber connectivity supplier Lightpath, which is working to change organizational connections into digital endpoints, launched the LP DDoS Shield. This is a next-generation network defense against different types of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. The LP DDoS Shield harnesses cutting-edge detection and mitigation technology from Radware, using proprietary algorithms and AI technology for quick detection, identification, and defense against zero-day attacks which are notoriously difficult to protect against. This includes IoT-based, burst, DNS, TLS/SSL attacks, phantom floods, among others. Moreover, this solution offers customers broad visibility and reporting via a private portal.
