Medical IoT Security Market - Forecast from 2026 to 2031

The Medical IoT Security Market is set to grow at a 17.65% CAGR, growing from USD 496.580 million in 2025 to USD 1.31 billion in 2031.

The medical IoT security market is experiencing substantial revenue growth, driven by the imperative need to protect medical IoT devices from data breaches and cyberattacks. As healthcare organizations increasingly leverage connected devices to enable remote patient monitoring and real-time health data analysis, the security landscape has become more complex and critical. These IoT devices offer significant opportunities for healthcare professionals to monitor patients' vital signs remotely, enhancing early disease detection and enabling personalized care delivery. However, the proliferation of connected medical devices simultaneously introduces significant challenges related to data security and privacy protection.

Growing Cybersecurity Threat Landscape

The escalating frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks represents a primary driver for medical IoT security market expansion. Distributed Denial of Service attacks pose particularly severe threats to healthcare organizations by disrupting access to vital resources and compromising the ability to provide patient care. According to analysis published by the US Healthcare Cybersecurity Coordination Center in February 2023, ransomware DDoS attacks increase by 67 percent annually and 24 percent quarterly, demonstrating the accelerating threat environment. As of Q2 2022, UDP attacks constituted the majority at 62.53 percent of all DDoS attacks, followed by SYN and TCP attacks, highlighting the diverse nature of threats targeting healthcare infrastructure.

The vulnerability of medical IoT devices has resulted in significant consequences for healthcare organizations, with millions of patient records exposed in recent years, leading to substantial privacy concerns and financial losses. This reality underscores the critical importance of implementing robust security measures to protect sensitive health information and maintain operational continuity.

Smart Healthcare Adoption and Security Requirements

The rising trend toward smart healthcare services represents both an opportunity and a challenge for the medical IoT security market. Smart healthcare leverages advanced information technologies including IoT, big data analytics, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and deep machine learning to transform traditional healthcare delivery models. These technologies enable healthcare to become more efficient, convenient, and personalized, fundamentally changing how medical services are provided and consumed.

However, increased adoption of these advanced technologies raises significant privacy concerns, creating critical demand for robust security measures throughout the medical sector. Private sector players are responding with substantial investments to expand medical IoT security solutions. In May 2021, Cynerio raised USD 30 million in Series B funding, which the company designated for expanding its advanced healthcare IoT cybersecurity solutions and strengthening its presence in North America, demonstrating strong investor confidence in the market's growth potential.

Regional Market Leadership

North America is positioned to lead the medical IoT security market, driven by widespread IoT technology adoption throughout the region and continuous advancements in the healthcare sector. Government commitment to cybersecurity reinforces this leadership position. The President's Budget for FY 2023 allocated approximately USD 10.9 billion in budget authority for civilian cybersecurity-related activities across civilian federal IT spending. Within this allocation, the Department of Health and Human Services received approximately 11.9 percent, amounting to around USD 7.82 billion, reflecting substantial governmental recognition of healthcare cybersecurity importance.
