What Has Driven the Growth of the Virtualization Security Market in Recent Years?
The virtualization security market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The size of the virtualization security market has experienced swift expansion in the past few years. The market is projected to increase from $3.18 billion in 2024 to $3.71 billion in 2025, boasting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.8%. The historic period's growth can be accredited to cost-effectiveness and resource optimization, a surge in cyber threats, the virtualization of critical infrastructure, the adopting of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), consciousness of virtualization security threats, and the rise of software as a service (SaaS).
What Are the Future Growth Projections for the Virtualization Security Market?
The Virtualization Security market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the upcoming years, the market size for virtualization security is predicted to experience significant growth, reaching $8.12 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.7%.
The surge predicted in the forecast period draws its roots from factors such as the incorporation of containerization, a focus on zero trust security frameworks, the persistent evolution of cyber threats, the advent of quantum computing threats, heightened global connectivity and interlinked systems, improved integration with security orchestration, and strengthened user authentication and access controls. The forecast period also foresees prevalent trends such as cloud-based virtualization, network security through micro-segmentation, integration of endpoint security, multi-tenancy security, synchronization with security information and event management, and automation and orchestration.
What Are The Core Factors Supporting Growth In The Virtualization Security Market?
The escalation in cyberattack events is propelling the development of the virtualization security market. A cyberattack is essentially a prohibited attempt to invade a computer network or system with the intention of inflicting harm. Attackers often aim their malicious activities at virtualization systems, which enhances the requirement for securing these systems. This is where virtualization security services can be of immense help. For example, in July 2022, statistics from the UK-based government body, Department For Digital Culture Media And Sport, implied that in the preceding 12 months, 39% of UK businesses acknowledged the detection of a cyberattack. Among these businesses, the most frequently found threat was phishing attempts, accounting for 83%. From the aforementioned 39%, approximately 21% reported having encountered a more advanced form of attack like denial of service, malware, or a ransomware attack. Thus, the rising instances of cyber-attacks are serving as a catalyst for the expansion of the virtualization security market.
