It will grow from $1.67 billion in 2023 to $2.32 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 38.6%. The expansion during the historical period can be attributed to the increased adoption of cloud computing, growing concerns about cybersecurity, the rise in remote work trends, the expansion of digital transformation initiatives, and the escalation of data breaches.

The cloud infrastructure entitlement management (ciem) market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.61 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 38.8%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to accelerated cloud migration, an increased focus on cybersecurity in cloud environments, the heightened complexity of cloud infrastructure, a growing demand for hybrid and multi-cloud solutions, and an increased emphasis on zero-trust security models. Key trends expected in the forecast period include the increased adoption of Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) solutions, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in CIEM, a focus on continuous monitoring and detection, the evolving role of CIEM in DevSecOps practices, and a rising demand for automated entitlement management solutions.

The anticipated growth of the cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM) market is attributed to the increasing adoption of cloud computing. Cloud computing, involving the provision of various computer services over the Internet, plays a vital role in CIEM by offering tools and platforms for effective management of user identities, access controls, and permissions in cloud-based environments. In December 2021, Eurostat reported that 41% of EU enterprises utilized cloud computing, with large businesses adopting it at a rate of 72% in 2021. Medium-sized businesses showed a 7-percentage point increase to 53%, and small businesses increased by 5 percentage points to 38%. This surge in cloud computing adoption is a key driver for the growth of the CIEM market.

The growth of the cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM) market is further fueled by the increasing prevalence of cyber threats. Cyber threats involve malicious activities aimed at exploiting vulnerabilities in computer systems and networks. Cloud services are attractive targets for cybercriminals due to the valuable data they store. CIEM solutions assist organizations in managing and securing entitlements and permissions associated with cloud infrastructure, ensuring that only authorized users have access. According to the UK Government Cyber Breaches Survey 2023, 24% of charities reported experiencing breaches or attacks in the previous 12 months, highlighting the heightened cyber threats. This scenario is contributing to the growth of the CIEM market.
