The global oil and gas security market size was estimated at USD 26.4 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2024 to 2030. The persistent threat of terrorism and cyber-attacks targeting oil and gas infrastructure is driving the demand for oil & gas security, thus fueling the growth of the market. Given the strategic importance of these assets to national economies and energy security, they remain attractive targets for malicious actors. For instance, the 2021 Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack in the U.S. highlighted the vulnerability of critical energy infrastructure to cyber threats, leading to increased investment in cybersecurity measures across the industry.
Another significant factor propelling the market growth is the expanding exploration and production activities in remote and high-risk areas. As easily accessible oil and gas reserves become depleted, companies are venturing into more challenging environments, often in politically unstable regions or offshore locations. These operations require robust security systems to protect personnel, assets, and operations from various risks, including piracy, civil unrest, and sabotage. The development of offshore oil fields in the Gulf of Guinea, for example, has necessitated enhanced maritime security measures to combat piracy threats.
Moreover, regulatory compliance and government mandates also play a crucial role in driving the market growth. In the wake of major incidents and evolving threat landscapes, governments worldwide have implemented stricter regulations concerning the security of critical energy infrastructure. These regulations often require companies to implement comprehensive security measures, including physical security systems, cybersecurity protocols, and emergency response plans. The EU's Network and Information Security (NIS) Directive, which includes specific provisions for operators in the energy sector, exemplifies this trend and has spurred investments in security solutions across European oil and gas facilities.
