Application Gateway Market Statistics: 2030
The global application gateway market size was valued at $1.75 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $4.24 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 9.5% from 2021 to 2030. A security component that supplements a firewall or NAT in a computer network is an application gateway. It is also known as application layer gateway, app gateway, application proxy, or application-level proxy. It enables custom NAT traversal filters to be inserted into the gateway to provide address and port translation for particular application layer "control/data" protocols including FTP, BitTorrent, SIP, RTSP, and file transfer in instant messaging apps. To make these protocols operate over NAT or a firewall, the application must either know about an address/port number combination that enables incoming packets, or the NAT must monitor control traffic and dynamically open up port mappings as needed.
Growth in number of different application layer attacks is boosting the growth of the global application gateway market. In addition, increase in demand for secure networks positively impacts the growth of the market. However, lack of mandatory regulations for information security and lack of technical expertise hamper the market growth. On the contrary, rise in adoption of Internet of things, AI, and software defined network technologies are expected to offer remunerative opportunities for expansion of the market during the forecast period.
In terms of component, software segment holds the largest share of the application gateway market. As a critical component of modern-day corporate IT infrastructure, software-based application gateway solutions assist organizations in controlling precise log-in network traffic roadmaps that specify what flows in and out of the network. However, the service segment is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period, owing to rise in COVID-19 pandemic which increased the demand for aiding employees working remotely to be able to access their work network more securely and conveniently.
Region wise, the application gateway market was dominated by North America in 2020 and is expected to retain its position during the forecast period, owing to abundance of application gateway solutions vendors such as Microsoft Corporation, Palo Alto Networks, Cisco Systems, Inc., and others aiding the growth of the application gateway market. However, Asia-Pacific is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period, owing to increase in technological investments in sectors such as cloud and digital technologies.

Top impacting factors
Growth in number of different application layer attacks
The application gateway market size is growing at a significant pace in the past few years as organizations have started realizing that the energy to swiftly forestall utility-layer DDoS assaults that focus on Internet-going through offerings is vital for commercial enterprise continuity and achievement. Aforementioned factor results in creating numerous market opportunities for application-level gateway market during the forecast period. Moreover, when Internet-facing offerings are compromised due to DDoS attacks, the effect can be excessive and feature good sized business consequences. The precise cost of downtime relies upon on the company’s reliance on its online offerings. When figuring out the price of downtime, companies need to think about at the least the subsequent as when online offerings pass down, the productivity of employees and/or companies that utilize or depend upon those services can be notably decreased.
Increasing demand for secure networks
Damaging of highbrow property is also one of the impacts of defective networks protection systems. Hacking offers unauthorized access to employer’s or individual’s records. In addition, as the internet grows and global computer networks become bigger, and records integrity has become one of the most important elements for businesses to recollect. The overall safety and security of the network is one of the most critical considerations while operating remotely for both small and large enterprises. Furthermore, the majority of cyberattacks performed against an organization can result in network failures and downtimes. Due to such prolonged network downtimes, businesses can be forced to cease their business operations, resulting in a loss of sales. The longer the network is down, the more revenue is lost, and the organization begins to appear untrustworthy and can lose credibility in the long run. These concerns have resulted in increasing investment toward strengthening network security associated with app gateway solutions.
By Region
Asia-Pacific would exhibit the highest CAGR of 11.1% during 2021-2030.

Analyst Review
An application gateway is a sort of firewall that allows you to regulate network traffic at the application level. Application gateways can be used to deny users with a bad reputation access to private network resources over the Internet. Application gateways analyze incoming packets at the application level and establish secure sessions with remote users through the use of proxies. When an external user using a Web browser wants to access the company's internal web server, for example, the application gateway launches a proxy application that acts as a stand-in for the internal web server.
Key providers of application gateway market such as Microsoft Corporation, Palo Alto Networks, and SAP SE account for a significant share in the market. With the larger requirement from the application gateway, various companies are launching net product to increase the application gateway capabilities. For instance, December 2021, Barracuda Networks, Inc., a trusted partner and leading provider for cloud-enabled security solutions, announced the launch of three new Email Protection plans, which scale to meet customers’ evolving threat protection needs. Barracuda’s comprehensive solutions combine gateway and API-based AI technology to detect and remediate threats and reduce the risk that a malicious attack succeeds by immediately and automatically eliminating the user’s ability to view or launch flagged emails.
In addition, with the increase in demand for gateway solution, various companies are expanding their current partnership to continue with the rise in demand. For instance, in September 2021, Palo Alto Networks expanded its partnership with Wipro, a recognized global leader in deploying, managing, and operationalizing network infrastructure. With this expansion, Wipro now enhances their managed services offering by adding Prisma Access to their existing managed SD-WAN offering, Prisma SD-WAN, to deliver managed Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) security services to organizations around the world.
