The third-party risk management market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The size of the third-party risk management market has expanded swiftly over the recent years. The market value is set to increase from $5.92 billion in 2024 to $6.85 billion in 2025, experiencing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.7%.
Factors such as data breach incidents, globalization of businesses, emergent business models, past risk management inadequacies, the rise in outsourcing practices, and concerns over data privacy have contributed to the growth observed in the historical period.
The third-party risk management market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of third-party risk management is predicted to experience substantial growth in the coming years, climbing to a valuation of $13.49 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.5%.
This surge during the forecast period can be accredited to increasing cyber threats, business globalization, intricate supply chains, hurdles of remote work, the requirement for AI-powered solutions, and changes in customer expectations. Noteworthy trends during the forecast timeline comprise scalable risk solutions, an alignment of culture and ethics, risks associated with remote work and collaboration, focus on business resilience and continuity, and strong emphasis on data privacy.
The proliferation of cybercrimes and frauds is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the third-party risk management market. Cyberattacks are illegal attempts made to penetrate a computer system or network to cause harm. The escalating interconnectedness of the internet has significantly raised the incidents of cyberattacks. Third-party risk management (TPRM), a technique that scrutinizes and minimizes potential risks linked with outsourcing information to third-party providers, aids organizations in making decisions guided by an understanding of the risks, thus lowering the probability of cyberattacks and fraud. As an example, the World Economic Forum, a non-governmental global organization based in Switzerland, reported that in 2024, there were roughly 2,220 cyberattacks daily in 2023, equating to upwards of 800,000 attacks yearly. This included five major or noteworthy incidents from that year. For instance, hackers breached Microsoft exchange and read thousands of emails, including at least 60,000 emails from Outlook accounts owned by employees of the US State Department. Therefore, the augmenting cybercrimes and frauds are contributing to the growth of the third-party risk management market.
