Based on solutions, the IoT security market is fragmented into analytics, encryption, Data Loss Protection (DLP), Identity and Access Management (IAM), Unified Threat Management (UTM), and others. In 2017, IAM held the largest market share of more than 32.0%, as IAM helps to provide a complete spectrum of users and manage data captured by them, digital identities, authorization access for desired information. Risk management growth like policy-based compliance and audit management is a major factor in driving the segment growth.

The encryption solution segment is projected to grow with the fastest CAGR of more than 35.0% during the forecast period. For IoT devices, encryption layers offer better data security. In addition, the growing need to secure sensitive information such as personal data and financial transactions is anticipated to drive the segment growth over the next few years. Further, regulatory compliance, brand reputation, and data privacy concerns are other factors propelling the need for data security which is expected to witness a positive impact on segment growth.

Service Insights

Based on services, the market is fragmented into professional and managed. In 2017, the professional service segment is expected to lead the market in terms of revenue and registering a CAGR of over 28.0% during the projected period. The increasing need for end-to-end security services including policy & management, test & evaluation, security by design, and assessment is a major factor driving the segment growth.

On the other hand, professional IoT security services are projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. In many enterprises, IoT is an emerging trend where professional IoT security services are expected to offer robust data security for wireless communication.

Security Type Insights

Based on security type, the Internet of Things (IoT) security market is segmented into application, cloud, endpoint, network, and others. In 2017, the endpoint has emerged as a prominent segment and generated revenue of USD 405.5 million. IoT technology is gaining traction among large enterprises as well as SMEs and implying a large amount of personal information on cloud platforms which has increased the incidence of data breaches and cyber-attacks. Therefore, these enterprises need robust data security against data theft and cyber-attacks. Thus, rising spending on IT security is expected to witness a significant impact on market growth.

The application segment is projected to grow with the highest CAGR over the forecast period. The rapid growth of the web, mobile-based applications, and IoT for businesses is expected to fuel the segment growth. In addition, an increasing number of cyber-attacks can directly become a threat to a company’s profitability and reputation, thereby expected to drive the IoT security demand in the application segment.

Application Insights

Based on application, the market is segmented into infrastructure & cities, healthcare and life science, industrial system and sensors, smart home & consumer, transport &urban mobility, and others. In 2017, smart homes and consumers held the largest market share and are projected to reach around USD 2.93 billion by the end of 2025. The rise in the number of smart homes across the globe, especially in developed regions has increased the application of intelligent security systems, smart fire & alarm systems, as well as smart electronics. Therefore, the growing application of IoT systems in consumer electronics and smart homes has increased the need for security solutions. Further, increasing cases of cyber-attacks and data privacy concerns such as denial of service (DoS) and data & identity theft is expected to further fuel the segment growth.

Global IoT security market

The infrastructure and cities segment is expected to grow with the fastest CAGR of over 31.0% during the forecast period. The increasing application of IoT technology in smart cities and smart buildings in HVAC, electric vehicles,s, and temperature controllers is driving the need for strong security solutions. For example, as machine learning and IoT technologies are enabling smart building infrastructure, thereby rising need for data security is anticipated to open new avenues for market players.

Regional Insights

In 2017, the North America IoT security market accounted for revenue of USD 442.4 million. This is due to the early adoption of IoT-based technologies across several applications like retail and healthcare in this region.
