The container security market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.56 billion in 2023 to $1.95 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.3%. The expansion observed during the historic period can be attributed to several factors, including the increasing adoption of containerization and cloud computing solutions, a growing demand for microservices, enterprises undergoing digital transformation, a rising need for advanced infrastructure solutions, and the influence of a competitive landscape with strategic initiatives undertaken by key players.
The container security market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.43 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.8%. The forecasted growth is driven by regulatory shifts, increased demand for security solutions, the expansion of influential players across borders, global market penetration, and a growing preference for cloud computing. Key trends include technological advancements, changing consumer behaviors, and the widespread adoption of cloud computing and security solutions.
The anticipated rise in cloud computing adoption is poised to drive growth within the container security market in the foreseeable future. Cloud computing entails delivering computing services via the internet, granting access to diverse resources without necessitating ownership or management of underlying infrastructure. Businesses, necessitated to swiftly adapt to evolving market dynamics, leverage cloud computing for its flexibility and scalability benefits. Within container security, cloud computing is instrumental in automating tasks such as vulnerability scanning, intrusion detection, and threat response, streamlining security management processes. As reported by Eurostat in December 2023, approximately 42.5% of EU enterprises embraced cloud computing in 2023, primarily for hosting email systems and storing electronic files, marking a 4.2% increase from 2021. Consequently, the burgeoning adoption of cloud computing fuels the expansion of the container security market.
Key players within the container security sector are actively innovating advanced technologies, such as cloud-native container security solutions, to better cater to customer needs with enhanced features. These security solutions are engineered to safeguard containerized applications and infrastructure within cloud environments, aligning with the requisites of cloud-native software engineering teams. For example, in October 2022, Veracode, a US-based cloud-based application security firm, unveiled Veracode Container Security as part of its continuous software security platform. This novel offering integrates seamlessly into the continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline, accessible through a command-line interface. It delivers comprehensive coverage for identifying and remedying vulnerabilities, managing secrets, and addressing security configuration issues across prevalent operating systems. By furnishing remediation guidance early in the software development lifecycle, the solution ensures prompt identification and resolution of insecure containers before they progress to the production phase.
