Estimated reading time: 1 minute

The global IoT security market size is expected to reach $9.88 billion by 2025, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc., progressing at a CAGR of 29.7% during the forecast period. Surging demand for enhanced privacy is driving the market. Increasing government efforts to implement stringent regulations to restrict the amount of data collected by IoT devices by industries such as BFSI, retail, and healthcare is expected to stimulate the growth of the market.

Safeguarding future of internet connected devices by robustly configuring necessary/next-generation security features and increasing transparency as well as providing consumers with a choice to opt-out of data collection are some of the key factors driving the market over the forecast period.

Increasing use of 3G and 4G long-term evolution (LTE) as well as wireless networks and technologies is augmenting the risk of cyber-attacks. Real-time information and transaction-related information, which are crucial to users, is exchanged through these cellular networks; thereby, giving rise to the need for IoT security. Currently, implementation of the internet is rising exponentially in areas such as health monitors, smart home appliances, smart city projects, and smart retails, which has created the necessity for IoT security.

Adoption of cloud technologies by various organizations for storing confidential data gives rise to risk of unauthorized access to data. Moreover, growing trend of bring your own device (BYOD) is increasing concerns regarding data security. Therefore, several organizations and enterprises demand effective security solutions. Thus, a robust security solution, such as integration of firewalls and data loss prevention with IoT security solutions, strengthens organization posture to face cyber threats.

However, lack of awareness about benefits and availability of IoT security solution is hampering the growth of the market. High cost of installation is also a stumbling stone in the growth of the market. Lack of expertise in technical handling, cling to regulatory compliance, and low budget for implementing new strategies are also some of the factors inhibiting the growth of the market.
