Homeland Security Market Report 2026

The homeland security market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $546.06 billion in 2025 to $586.37 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising government investment in aviation security and border control infrastructure, increased deployment of emergency response systems to manage natural and man-made disasters, growth in cybersecurity solutions to protect national digital assets, expansion of surveillance and monitoring technologies enhancing threat detection capability, heightened focus on disaster preparedness programs driven by evolving security risks.

The homeland security market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $753.7 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing adoption of ai-enabled security platforms for real-time threat analysis and response, increasing integration of interoperable systems across security domains, expansion of advanced cybersecurity frameworks to counter sophisticated attacks, rising deployment of autonomous and sensor-based technologies for border and perimeter security, development of next-generation emergency management solutions improving national resilience. Major trends in the forecast period include integrated emergency response systems, advanced threat detection and monitoring solutions, real-time border and perimeter surveillance, smart disaster recovery and mitigation technologies, predictive analytics for security operations.

Rising cases of terrorist attacks are expected to propel the growth of the homeland security market going forward. Terrorist attacks involve intentional acts of violence aimed at spreading fear, causing harm, and advancing political, ideological, or religious agendas. The increase in terrorist activities is driven by escalating political and ideological polarization, which deepens societal divides, fuels radicalization, and creates conditions where extremist ideologies can thrive. Homeland security mitigates terrorist threats by strengthening intelligence, surveillance, and coordination to detect and disrupt attacks early, while enhancing border control, emergency response, and public safety systems to minimize their impact. For instance, in February 2024, according to the Institute for Economics & Peace (IEP), an Australia-based non-profit think tank, terrorism remained a major global concern, with total deaths rising to 8,352 in 2023, up from 6,823 in 2022. Therefore, the growing threat of terrorist activities is expected to drive the expansion of the homeland security market.

Leading players in the homeland security market are directing their focus towards leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance security. AI applications in homeland security encompass threat detection, predictive analytics, and decision support, allowing for the analysis of extensive datasets and overall improvement in security effectiveness. In April 2023, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in the United States established a task force dedicated to artificial intelligence (AI) and initiated a 90-day sprint to address threats from the People's Republic of China (PRC). The AI task group is aimed at assisting DHS in navigating the security implications of rapidly advancing AI technology, focusing on applications to enhance critical homeland security missions.

In September 2024, Redwire, a U.S.-based aerospace manufacturer and space infrastructure technology company, acquired Hera Systems for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition is intended to strengthen Redwire's capabilities in the national security space sector, particularly in supporting specialized missions in geostationary orbit (GEO). Hera Systems, a U.S.-based aerospace company, contributes to homeland security by leveraging smart technologies and agile development to provide advanced satellite buses.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs have impacted the homeland security market by increasing costs for imported surveillance systems, cybersecurity platforms, detection equipment, and communication technologies, particularly affecting segments such as border security, aviation security, and chemical/biological/nuclear (CBRN) security in regions like North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. While rising costs challenge procurement and deployment timelines, tariffs also encourage domestic manufacturing, drive investment in local technology solutions, and foster innovation in cost-efficient, secure, and resilient homeland security technologies.
