Zero Trust Security Market Global Report 2026

The zero trust security market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $44.7 billion in 2025 to $54.2 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising cybersecurity breaches, increasing cloud adoption, growth in remote workforces, expansion of enterprise digitization, and limitations of perimeter-based security.

The zero trust security market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $116.93 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing zero trust mandates by regulators, growth of hybrid IT environments, rising adoption of identity and access management, expansion of cloud-native applications, and increasing focus on insider threat mitigation. Major trends in the forecast period include continuous identity verification models, micro-segmentation of network access, adoption of zero trust network access, expansion of policy-based access controls, and integration of identity-centric security.

The increasing rate of data breaches and cyber threats is expected to propel the growth of the zero-trust security market. Cyber data breaches involve gaining unauthorized access to a computer system or network to obtain private, sensitive, or confidential personal and financial information from customers or users. The increasing number of planned cyber breaches creates a need for zero-trust security solutions that provide flexible and adaptive network security infrastructure by eliminating implicit trust in network access and requiring additional user verification. For instance, in November 2024, according to the Australian Cyber Security Centre, an Australia-based government agency, in the financial year 2023-24, the Australian Cybersecurity Hotline operated by ASD received more than 36,700 calls, marking a 12% rise compared to the previous year, while ASD handled over 1,100 cybersecurity incidents during the same period. Therefore, the increasing rate of data breaches and cyber threats is driving the growth of the zero-trust security market.

Major companies operating in the Zero Trust Security market are focusing on developing advanced solutions such as unified secure access platforms to improve connectivity consistency and performance. Unified secure access platforms are technologies that combine identity-based, granular access controls with network infrastructure capabilities to ensure that users, applications, and internet traffic are managed under a consistent security model regardless of location. For instance, in October 2024, US-based company Alkira launched the Alkira Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution, featuring a cloud-based service that unifies security and performance across all traffic flows. Key features of the launched product include a unified solution for user-to-app, app-to-app, and user-to-internet communications; a network-first approach that leverages existing network segmentation without compromising performance; a decentralized architecture that combines a centralized policy enforcement engine with a distributed data plane; a single-pane-of-glass dashboard for management, monitoring, and visibility; integrated full-stack security that enables vendor choice for securing traffic to private applications and the internet; and scalable, on-demand delivery without requiring upfront hardware installations.

In January 2024, SonicWall, a US-based cybersecurity company, acquired Banyan Security for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, SonicWall aimed to enhance its zero-trust and Secure Service Edge (SSE) offerings by strengthening user access controls, improving security posture, and delivering comprehensive cloud security solutions for remote and hybrid work environments. Banyan Security is a US-based company specializing in zero-trust security solutions.
