The unified threat management market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size of unified threat management has seen a swift expansion in the past few years. The market, which was worth $7.35 billion in 2024, is forecasted to scale up to $8.31 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.1%.
Factors like escalating cybersecurity threats, amplified internet usage, widespread usage of mobile devices, the surge in remote working population, and the broadening scope of cloud computing, drove significant growth during the historical period.
The unified threat management market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Over the incoming years, the unified threat management market is projected to experience a fast-paced expansion, growing to an estimated $13.5 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.9%.
The predicted increase during this forecast period may be accounted for by advances in malware sophistication, expansion of iot gadgets, migration to edge computing, integration with security orchestration and heightened knowledge about the importance of cybersecurity. Noteworthy trends anticipated during this forecast period encompass technological advancements, product innovation, initiatives in cloud security and web application development.
The increase in cyber-attack occurrences is predicted to push the unified threat management market's expansion forward. A cyber-attack is defined as any deliberate action taken with malicious intent to expose, disable, alter, or eliminate data, applications, or other resources by misleadingly accessing a computer system, digital gadget, or network. Unified Threat Management (UTM) solutions are employed to make network security administration more straightforward by providing a single platform to monitor and deal with various cyber threats like malware, network attacks, and other security hazards. The Australian Cyber Security Centre, a cyber security agency based in Australia, reported in February 2023 that it had received 76,000 reports of cyber-crime in 2022, a rise of 13% from the previous year. Thus, the escalating trend of cyber-attacks is fueling the growth of the unified threat management market.
