The secure access service edge market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size of secure access service edge has witnessed tremendous growth over the past few years. It is expected to increase from $2.4 billion in 2024 to $3.02 billion in 2025, marking a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.7%.
The historical growth in this market can be credited to factors such as the rising trend of remote working, amplified usage of cloud services, escalating cyber security threats, focus on the transformation of network, and the transition towards zero-trust security models.
The secure access service edge market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for secure access service edge is predicted to witness an aggressive expansion in the upcoming years. It's projected to reach a colossal $7.92 billion in 2029 with a CAGR of 27.3%.
This escalated growth during the forecast period is tied to the persistence of hybrid work modules, swift adoption of cloud technologies, emphasis on user-focused security, incorporation with edge computing, and a heightened requirement for supervised SASE services. Dominating trends during this forecast period include intensifying the focus on edge security, promoting integration of SD-wan capabilities, welcoming identity-focused security measures, and the practical application of micro-segmentation techniques.
The growth of the secure access service edge market is anticipated to accelerate due to escalating cyber threats. Cyber threats, defined as the malicious activities and vulnerabilities in digital systems posing threats to data, privacy, and security, have been proliferating. This surge in cyber risks has triggered the demand for stringent security solutions like secure access service edge (SASE), which protect sensitive information, counter cyber threats, and provide business continuity amid the evolving digital vulnerabilities leading to sophisticated attacks and breaches. For instance, the Australian Cyber Security Centre reported a total of 94,000 cybercrime complaints in the 2022-2023 fiscal year, a 23 percent rise from the prior year, 2021-2022, according to the Department of Defence Australia in November 2023. Thus, the secure access service edge market is expected to flourish due to these increasing cyber threats.

Leading firms in the secure access service edge (SASE) market are increasingly shifting their focus towards the development of cloud-based technologies to cultivate a competitive edge within the industry. The integration of cloud-based technologies within the framework of SASE refers to the application of cloud computing and cloud infrastructure to provide security and networking services. This provides an efficient amalgamation of security and networking tasks into a single, cloud-native design. For instance, Zscaler Inc., a renowned provider of cloud-based information security solutions from the US, unveiled its latest innovation, Zscaler Resilience, in July 2023. This new suite of capabilities is set to reinforce the robustness of Zscaler's architecture and processes. These features ensure a seamless linkage between users, devices, and essential cloud applications, thereby enabling businesses to anticipate and recover from unforeseen disturbances. Zscaler Resilience is also equipped with advanced security and service facilitation features, which can automatically choose the most efficient path for user-to-application linkages. This plays a pivotal role in maintaining exceptional business continuity, permitting organizations to sustain operations during tough scenarios like blackouts and brownouts.
