The zero trust architecture market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, the market size for zero trust architecture has witnessed a significant escalation. It is projected to surge from $21.84 billion in 2024 to a remarkable $25.71 billion in 2025, marking a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.7%.
Factors such as cyber attacks and data breaches, digital transformation initiatives, the demand for remote access, the application of zero trust frameworks and standards, along with regulatory compliance requirements, have largely contributed to the growth experienced during the historic period.
The zero trust architecture market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Expectations are high for the zero trust architecture market as it is forecasted to experience a swift expansion in the coming years. The market value is projected to reach $48.93 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.5%.
This predicted growth during the forecast period can be attributed to several factors including cloud adoption and migration, management of vendor and supply chain risks, the evolving security threat landscape, as well as both internal and external threat intelligence, and incident response readiness. Key trends for the forecast period incorporate elements such as zero trust as a service (ZTAAS), zero trust tailored for devsecops, zero trust designed for the remote workforce, fusion with identity-centric security, and zero trust analytics coupled with behavioral monitoring.
The escalating threats associated with cyber security are anticipated to drive the expansion of the zero-trust architecture market. This term refers to protective measures taken against unauthorized intrusion on computer systems, networks, devices and data, in turn, preventing cyber attacks, theft, harm or any form of unethical activities. By employing a thorough, proactive approach towards identity confirmation, access regulation and risk management, zero-trust architecture boosts cyber resilience, effectively running interference against cyber threats, while also safeguarding vital assets and data from unauthorized exploitation. As observed by the Australian Cyber Security Centre, a cyber security center based in Australia, there was a surge of 38% in global cyber attacks in 2022 as compared to the previous year of 2021. Furthermore, 83% of organizations had numerous data breaches in 2022 and this resulted in cost increases which were subsequently transferred onto the customers in about 60% cases. Consequently, the mounting threats in cyber security are fuelling the growth of the zero-trust architecture market.

Leading firms in the zero-trust architecture market are driving growth through the development of innovative products enhanced with cutting-edge technology, such as the recent versions of zero trust security. These advancements guide businesses in devising deployment strategies and zero-trust models. The concept is built upon the foundational ethos of zero trust, providing various examples of initial, evolving, ideal, and standard zero trust architectures. For example, in April 2023, the US government's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency unveiled the revised Zero Trust Maturity Model Version 2. The model is designed to provide the necessary transparency to facilitate the establishment, application, maintenance, and amendment of security protocols. For businesses intending to transition to a zero-trust architecture, this model is a priceless resource that offers guidance and examples to assess their progression and plan the needed investments to edge closer to a zero-trust environment.
