This Threat Detection Systems market report delivers an in-depth analysis of the market’s key characteristics, including size, growth potential, and segmentation. It provides a detailed breakdown of the market across major regions and leading countries, highlighting historical data and future growth projections. The report also examines the competitive landscape, market share insights, emerging trends, and strategic developments shaping the market.

The threat detection systems market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $154.49 billion in 2024 to $180.79 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased defense expenditure, an increase in terrorist activities, an increase in remote work, an increase in acts of terrorism across the globe, and increasing reliance on digital platforms.

The threat detection systems market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $335.8 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing sophistication of cyber-attacks, increasingly adopting multi-layered security approaches, increasingly favoring cloud-based threat detection systems, rising globalization, and rising adoption of security systems in commercial places. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, innovations in AI and machine learning, technologically advanced, technology development, and emerging technologies.

The threat detection systems market is expected to expand due to the rising frequency of terrorist activities. This increase in terrorism is often attributed to factors such as political instability, extremist ideologies, economic difficulties, ongoing conflicts, and technological misuse. Threat detection systems are crucial for addressing these threats as they help identify and respond to potential dangers before they cause harm. For example, the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) reported in March 2023 that the average number of deaths per terrorist attack increased to 1.7 in 2022, up from 1.3 in 2021. Additionally, there were 6,701 fatalities linked to terrorist activities in 2022. This surge in terrorist violence is contributing to the growth of the threat detection systems market.

Leading companies in the threat detection systems sector are concentrating on integrating various security functions, such as cloud-native log management, to enhance scalability, streamline threat detection, and boost overall security efficiency. Cloud-native log management improves threat detection systems by providing scalable, real-time data processing, seamless integration with other security tools, and advanced search and automation features, all while optimizing costs and ensuring compliance. For instance, in April 2023, IBM introduced the updated IBM Security QRadar Suite, an enhancement to its QRadar product line. This new suite integrates core technologies for threat detection, investigation, and response into a single platform with a modern user interface, tailored for hybrid cloud environments and emphasizing AI and automation to enhance analyst efficiency and accuracy.

In July 2022, Forescout Technologies, a cybersecurity company based in the US, acquired Cysiv for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to strengthen network security by offering comprehensive visibility and control over all devices connected to an organization's network. Cysiv specializes in managed threat detection and response (MDR) services.
