The global wireless LAN security market size reached USD 13.1 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 49.6 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 15.13% during 2025-2033. The market is experiencing steady growth driven by the rising reliance on wireless networks, the growing awareness about the importance of network security, and the rapid integration of advanced technologies.
Wireless local area network (WLAN) security is a system designed to protect networks from security breaches, including unauthorized access, denial of service attacks, IP and MAC spoofing, and session hijacking. It enables devices to connect to the network without the need for physical cables and helps move appliances within the network. It relies on various measures, such as encryption protocols and strong passwords, to protect personal information and devices. At present, the launch of fifth-generation (5G) technology and long-term evolution (LTE) connections is driving the demand for WLAN security. Moreover, the advent of Wi-Fi 6 technology to help improve performance and security features as compared to previous versions of Wi-Fi is catalyzing the demand for WLAN security across the globe.
The increasing number of cyber-attacks and anonymous security threats on account of the rising reliance on wireless networks represents one of the major factors driving the demand for WLAN security around the world. Moreover, the growing penetration of high-speed internet connectivity and a considerable reliance on smartphones and other connected devices is influencing the market positively. In addition, the increasing awareness about the importance of network security is favoring the growth of the market. Apart from this, the rising usage of WLAN security in small and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs) to protect employee data is contributing to the market growth. Furthermore, there is an increase in the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), cloud-based security solutions, blockchain technology, and two-factor authentication in WLAN security to analyze network traffic and detect potential threats in real time. This, coupled with the incorporation of software defined networking (SDN) and virtual private networks (VPNs) to enable the centralization of network management and security and encrypt all data transmitted over the network, is strengthening the growth of the market. Besides this, the growing use of WLAN security for various internet of things (IoT) devices to secure communication is creating a positive outlook for the market. Additionally, governments of numerous countries are undertaking initiatives to promote the safety and privacy of user data, which is anticipated to provide a favorable market outlook.
