Intrusion Detection System / Intrusion Prevention System Market Size

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.

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.
