The global distributed denial of service (DDoS) protection and mitigation market is projected to grow from USD 2.99 billion in 2024 to USD 5.75 billion by 2029, witnessing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.0% from 2024 to 2029.
DDoS protection and mitigation protect the server and the target network from a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack. Cloud-based protection services and engineered network equipment mitigate the incoming threat. This involves purchasing and maintaining material that would filter incoming traffic and withstand attacks. It applies to the database, network, endpoint, and other applications. Dos mitigation is a set of techniques used to resist the impact of spreading refusal attacks on the network connected to the Internet by protecting the destination and retransmission networks. DDoS protection and mitigation solutions and services help protect and mitigate advanced and sophisticated DDoS attack endpoints. The strong demand from SMEs for DDoS prevention solutions has encouraged suppliers to introduce cost-effective hybrid and cloud-based solutions. However, local hardware, software, and integrated solutions continue to benefit from more excellent traction among large companies. During the forecast period, the market is foreseen to experience strong demand for hybrid solutions that include both on-premises and cloud services.
The demand for DDoS solutions should also increase with the number of multisectoral DDoS attacks. As a result, this demand could lead to significant growth in the DDoS protection and mitigation market. Strong management should stimulate the market after threat detection. According to Cloudflare, the financial cost of a DDoS is significant because being a victim of a DDoS attack can cost an organization approximately $ 100,000 for each hour the seizure lasts, further fueling the demand for protection solutions. Also, the proliferation of insecure IoT devices led to an increase in DDoS attacks in 2017, according to Corero. Therefore, the increasing implementation of IoT among all end-users will increase the adoption of DDoS protection solutions. In addition, many unplanned data center outages were reportedly caused by cybercrime (DDoS) attacks, further fuelling the demand for DDoS protection solutions in data centers. Besides, the growing number of data centers in developing countries, such as India, presents significant opportunities for providers of DDoS protection solutions.
Factors such as the need to mitigate DDoS attacks targeting networks and applications, the increasing penetration of the IoT and associated devices, and increased demand from small and medium-sized businesses will likely drive the DDoS protection and mitigation market during the forecast period. Additionally, due to the increased adoption of hosted DDoS protection solutions, the global DDoS mitigation and protection market is expected to grow further during the forecast period. Organizations are rapidly developing their partnership and mitigation solutions worldwide. As a result, the achieved services segment is expected to grow at the highest rate in the forecast period.
The BFSI sector is one of the severe infrastructure segments that suffer from multiple data breaches and cyber-attacks due to the large clientele served by the industry and the financial information at stake. Financial services institutions have been identified to be four times more susceptible to cyberattacks than other sectors, which is expected to stimulate demand for such solutions. Dos attacks can make banking websites unavailable, damaging customers' reputations, income, and trust. In 2017, Lloyds Bank suffered a distributed denial-of-service attack that put its online services offline. The BFSI sector faced the highest attacks in 2017, having faced considerably higher attacks than in other industries. Therefore, continuing this trend in the coming years should drive the adoption of DDoS protection solutions in the BFSI sector.
The growing sophistication of DDoS attacks, poor awareness and understanding of DDoS protection and mitigation among organizations, and high deployment and maintenance costs are primarily restraining the growth of the global market. Limited cyber security budgets, evolving tactics of cybercriminals, and inadequately skilled cybersecurity professionals are further inhibiting the growth rate of the global market.
