Bare Metal Server Security Global Market Report 2025

The bare metal server security market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.25 billion in 2024 to $2.63 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.9%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the rising number of data center deployments, increasing demand for dedicated hosting services, greater enterprise adoption of cloud alternatives, a surge in online business activities, expansion of e-commerce infrastructure, and the growing volume of financial transactions.

The bare metal server security market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.89 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.7%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to increasing regulatory focus on data protection, rising concerns about cyber threats in enterprise environments, growing investments in secure digital infrastructure, a surge in demand for compliance-driven server environments, expansion of cross-border data exchange, and increasing reliance on mission-critical applications. Key trends in the forecast period include technological advancements in hardware-based security modules, improvements in automated threat detection for physical servers, innovations in encryption and key management systems, developments in zero-trust security frameworks, research and development in secure server firmware design, and progress in server isolation and segmentation techniques.

The rising cybersecurity threats are expected to drive the growth of the bare metal server security market in the coming years. Cybersecurity threats are defined as malicious attempts by individuals or organizations to gain unauthorized access to systems, disrupt operations, or steal sensitive data. These threats are increasing due to the growing sophistication of cybercriminals, who employ tactics such as ransomware, phishing, and supply chain attacks to exploit system vulnerabilities. Bare metal server security mitigates these risks by providing dedicated, non-virtualized hardware environments that ensure strong isolation, direct hardware control, and simplified encryption implementation. This reduces hypervisor-related vulnerabilities, protects sensitive workloads, and supports compliance in high-risk computing environments. For instance, in November 2024, the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD), an Australian government agency responsible for national cybersecurity and intelligence, reported receiving around 36,700 calls on its Cyber Security Hotline in 2023-24, representing a 12 percent increase from the previous financial year, while responding to over 1,100 cybersecurity incidents. This data underscores the ongoing exploitation of Australian systems and the need for secure, dedicated infrastructure to protect critical networks. Therefore, the increase in cybersecurity threats is boosting demand for bare metal server security solutions.

Key companies in the bare metal server security market are emphasizing the integration of advanced technologies such as hardware-level isolation to improve data protection, system integrity, and workload security. Hardware-level isolation is a sophisticated approach that leverages dedicated physical resources to separate computing environments at the hardware layer, enabling secure workload execution, simplified encryption, and trusted hardware verification. For instance, in September 2024, OVHcloud, a France-based cloud computing and web infrastructure provider, launched Bare Metal Pod, a platform designed to provide sovereign, ultra-secure environments for sensitive workloads. The solution includes dedicated physical servers and network equipment, customer-managed encryption keys, and an isolated management stack with SecNumCloud qualification. Bare Metal Pod enhances security assurance, supports compliance readiness, and strengthens operational control for organizations managing regulated or mission-critical data, demonstrating how hardware-level isolation in bare metal servers is driving innovation and growth in the security-focused market.

In April 2024, Colohouse LLC, a US-based provider of colocation, cloud hosting, and network connectivity services, acquired Hivelocity for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, ColoHouse gained access to Hivelocity’s global bare-metal server infrastructure across more than 40 locations, along with its automation, self-service, and software-defined networking capabilities, enhancing its hybrid infrastructure offerings and expanding its global footprint. Hivelocity Inc. is a US-based provider of bare-metal dedicated servers and managed hosting solutions.

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.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the information technology sector, particularly in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Higher duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have raised production and operational costs for tech firms, cloud service providers, and data centers. Companies relying on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are facing longer lead times and increased pricing pressures. In parallel, tariffs on specialized software tools and retaliatory measures from key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and reduced overseas demand for U.S.-developed technologies. To navigate these challenges, the sector is accelerating investments in domestic chip fabrication, diversifying supplier bases, and adopting AI-driven automation to enhance operational resilience and cost efficiency.
