The global penetration testing market size was valued at USD 1.6 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach USD 5.3 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 13.1% from 2022 to 2031.
High adoption of cloud computing solutions and services and increasing number of data centres is boosting the growth of the global market. In addition, stringent government regulations to increase the adoption of penetration testing solutions and services is positively impacts growth of the market. However, lack of skilled security professionals and high implementation cost is hampering the penetration testing market growth. On the contrary, increasing popularity of PTaaS and security assessment for remote workers is expected to offer remunerative opportunities for expansion of the market during the forecast period.
Penetration testing is a cybersecurity defense practice that aims to deceive attackers by distributing a collection of traps and decoys across a system's infrastructure to imitate genuine assets. In addition, it helps organizations to uncover vulnerabilities such as unsensitized inputs that are susceptible to code injection attacks in number of application systems, and frontend/backend servers.
The penetration testing market is segmented on the basis of by component, deployment mode, testing type, enterprise size, industry vertical, and region. On the basis of component, the market is categorized into solution and service. On the basis of deployment mode, the market is fragmented into On-Premise, and Cloud. On the basis of testing type the market is classified into network penetration testing, application penetration testing, social engineering tests, cloud penetration testing, and others. On the basis of enterprise size, the market is bifurcated into large enterprises and SMEs. By industry vertical, it is classified into BFSI, Manufacturing, Healthcare, Government and Defense, Energy and Utilities, Retail and E-commerce, IT and Telecom, and Others. By region, the penetration testingmarket is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
The key players that operate in the penetration testing market are Breachlock Inc., Bugcrowd, Cigniti Technology Ltd., Cisco Systems, Inc., CovertSwarm, Isecurion, Netragard, NetSPI LLC, Nowsecure, PortSwigger Ltd., Rapid 7, Rebot Security, SecurityMetrics, TrustWave Holdings, Inc., Vumetric Cybersecurity, Astra Security, Vairav Technology. These players have adopted various strategies to increase their market penetration and strengthen their position in the industry.
[COMPONENTGRAPH]
Depending upon component, solution segment holds the largest penetration testing market share as it assists organizations in detection zero-day attacks and predicts any future loopholes. However, the service segment is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period, owing to rise in demand for cyber security services during remote working in COVID-19 pandemic, thus making the network more secure and convenient.
[REGIONGRAPH]
Region-wise, the penetration testing market size was dominated by North America in 2021 and is expected to retain its position during the forecast period, owing to increase in adoption of advanced technologies such as cloud technology, big data, artificial intelligence, and machine learning for automation across industries. However, Asia-Pacific is expected to witness significant growth rate during the forecast period, owing to rise in penetration testing awareness and growth in number of SMEs adopting cloud-based security testing in the region.
The usage of cloud computing solutions and services is increasing rapidly across the globe, owing to the fact that the cost of cloud-based services is comparatively cheaper and does not require the setting up of dedicated IT infrastructure. Moreover, cloud deployment increases the vulnerabilities in software and makes it easily accessible for unauthorized users. Furthermore, it helps organizations achieve a more comprehensive view of cloud assets. For instance, in July 2021, Snyk launched the Cloud Security Solution designed by and for developers to realize a fully featured cloud security solution that allows modern developers to continue their rapid pace of innovation securely. In addition, cloud computing solutions and services are in high demand for penetration testing as it is designed to assess the strengths and weaknesses of a cloud system to improve its overall security posture. Such demands are driving the growth of the penetration testing industry.
An increasing number of data centers are a centralized cluster of computing and networking equipment, and opportunities emerge regularly. The industry is expected to see new opportunities for the data center sector. In addition, the volume of data that is consumed has expanded dramatically in recent years as a result of high-speed internet connections, improved industrial automation, and increased mobile device usage. This increase in data volume has created a huge opportunity for the data center sector. Furthermore, many companies in this industry are increasingly digitizing their operations and services, putting them in a stronger position to rely on data centers. Therefore, industries are enabling data centers to collect large amounts of data and security during the pandemic, which in turn is driving the growth of the penetration testing market.
The penetration testing market is experiencing significant growth across various regions due to rising cybersecurity threats, increased regulatory requirements, and growing awareness of the importance of proactive security measures.
The penetration testing industry is projected to prosper in the COVID-19 situation, owing to various government, public, and other organizations adopting work from home culture for their employees. In addition, various IT & telecom industries are adopting penetration testing solution for improving the loss suffered, owing to the pandemic situation and to improve their penetration testing market share. In addition, there is a significant increase in cyber-crime and data breaches in enterprises during the lockdown.
Moreover, lack of skilled IT professionals and highly skilled hackers has led to surge in cyber-crimes and security breaches in organizations. In addition, different enterprises adopted penetration testing solutions due to rise in number of data breaches and lack of security within the organization to prevent unauthorized access to enterprise information using the loopholes in the security systems. As a result, rise in number of data and security breaches during the COVID-19 pandemic in enterprises drives the penetration testing market growth.
