Intrusion Detection System / Intrusion Prevention System (IDS / IPS) Market Size

The global intrusion detection system / intrusion prevention system (IDS / IPS) market was valued at USD 5.7 billion in 2024 and is estimated to register a CAGR of 7.3% between 2025 and 2034.
 

Intrusion Detection System / Intrusion Prevention System (IDS / IPS) Market

The increase in the market can be justified by the growth of cyber attacks such as malware, ransomware, APT among others. Instead, a global emergence of cyber threats has and continues to be exceptionally evident, and according to Statista, by 2023, versatile virus types such as banking trojans together with botnets were rated the most classic forms of cyber weapons. Its share in the total number of cyber-attacks in the world was 31%, while the share of the Asia Pacific region was more than 35%. There has been an increase in the threats, giving rise to companies spending more on IDS/IPS solutions to avert unnecessary damage.
 

Cybercriminals have adopted more sophisticated systems, therefore necessitating the need for real-time monitoring systems in order to detect these threats and halt them. The rapid rise of cyberattacks, in addition to their increased frequency, combined with both offensive and defensive effects, means a need for advanced detection technologies that can swiftly take control. Fueling these problems lies the fear of exposure and loss of money, which results in the necessity for IDS/IPS solutions within the industry to avoid the exposure of confidential information during certain operations as well as the protection of the critical infrastructure from both inside and outside interference.
 

The trend now is that more and more enterprises are embracing the digital space and are pouring money into their digital progression. Statista reports that spending on digital transformation is expected to be around USD 2.5 trillion in 2024 and USD 3.9 trillion by 2027. As businesses begin to shift their behavior to fit the virtual realm, the threat of cyber-attacks does become more prevalent, which is why intrusion detection systems and intrusion prevention systems remain at the forefront of cyber warfare. Even as security systems become more complex, there are limits with the sophistication of cyberattacks. The growing abundance of IoT devices and virtual links that expand the new threat horizon, require immediate action. At the same time, this turn into a completely digital model creates a demand for up-to-date security measures which is the reason for the expansion of the IDS/IPS market which is a fusion between a saturation of data and security systems.
 

Intrusion Detection System / Intrusion Prevention System (IDS / IPS) Market Trends

  • Modern-day companies are creating more network traffic and generating more data than older security systems are able to manage. As per Statista, global data creation stood at 101 zettabytes in the year 2022 and is projected to stand at 149 zettabytes in the year 2024. This growth is expected to gain more traction and reach 394 zettabytes in 2028.
     
  • The IDS/IPS systems make use of complex algorithms as well as AI-driven automated real-time analytics to identify traffic anomalies targeting specific security events to give a fully automated incident response covering large volumes of traffic. This ensures that irregular business activities are clearly identified which then prevents serious loss and even excessive downtimes for the entire system. 
     
  • Apart from that however, companies also have to deal with laws like the PCI DSS and GDPR among others and HIPAA legislation that enforces the use of intrusion detection and prevention systems to protect sensitive information.  Not conforming to these regulations can incur huge fines as well as damage the image of the company and the trust of its client, therefore making IDS/IPS solutions as one of the priorities if not the first. 
     
  • For small businesses and medium-sized ones, the use of IDS/IPS soltuons tends to be quite pricy in the long run. For them, the equipment, software and license are costly to get which tends to stretch the budget thin.
