Host Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) Market Report 2026

The host intrusion prevention system (ips) market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $0.83 billion in 2025 to $0.92 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rise in malware and ransomware attacks, increasing enterprise endpoint proliferation, limitations of traditional antivirus solutions, shift from perimeter-based to endpoint-centric security, growing enterprise digital transformation initiatives.

The host intrusion prevention system (ips) market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.39 billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to AI and machine learning adoption in cybersecurity operations, expansion of zero trust security architectures, growth in iot and connected endpoint ecosystems, increasing remote and hybrid workforce security needs, tightening global cybersecurity compliance and regulatory frameworks. Major trends in the forecast period include AI-driven behavioral threat detection in host environments, zero trust based host intrusion prevention enforcement, integration of endpoint detection and response (edr) with host ips solutions, cloud-native host intrusion prevention systems for hybrid infrastructures, real-time automated threat intelligence and response orchestration across endpoints.

The increasing frequency and complexity of cyberattacks are anticipated to drive the expansion of the host intrusion prevention system (IPS) market in the coming years. A cyberattack refers to any deliberate exploitation of digital systems or networks to steal data, disrupt operations, or cause damage. Cyberattacks are rising due to the rapid expansion of the internet of things, which creates more vulnerable entry points for attackers. A host intrusion prevention system (HIPS) assists in preventing cyberattacks by monitoring and blocking suspicious activities on individual devices in real time, stopping threats before they can harm the system or compromise data. For example, in April 2025, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, a US-based domestic intelligence and law enforcement agency, the 2024 Internet Crime Report recorded 859,532 suspected internet crime complaints, with reported losses exceeding $16 billion, representing a 33% increase from 2023. Therefore, the increasing frequency and complexity of cyberattacks are fueling the growth of the host intrusion prevention system (IPS) market.

The expansion of remote and hybrid work models is anticipated to drive the growth of the host intrusion prevention system (IPS) market in the coming years. Remote and hybrid work models are flexible work arrangements in which employees either work entirely remotely or split their time between remote locations and a physical office. The growing adoption of these models is supported by advanced digital collaboration tools that enable employees to communicate, collaborate, and access work systems efficiently from any location. A host intrusion prevention system (HIPS) enhances security in remote and hybrid work environments by providing real-time, endpoint-level protection that detects and blocks threats directly on user devices, regardless of network location. For example, in June 2025, according to the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government department, over a quarter (28%) of working adults in Great Britain were engaged in a hybrid work model between January and March 2025, with the proportion of hybrid workers continuing to increase since March 2022. Therefore, the expansion of remote and hybrid work models is fueling the growth of the host intrusion prevention system (IPS) market.

The increasing adoption of cloud-based computing infrastructure is anticipated to drive the growth of the host intrusion prevention system (IPS) market in the coming years. Cloud-based computing infrastructure offers on-demand access to scalable IT resources over the internet, removing the need for physical on-premises hardware. The adoption of cloud-based computing infrastructure is rising due to cost efficiency, as businesses can avoid upfront hardware investments and pay only for the resources they utilize. A host intrusion prevention system (HIPS) supports cloud-based computing infrastructure by monitoring and blocking malicious activities on individual cloud-hosted systems, ensuring real-time protection of virtual machines and workloads against cyber threats. For example, in January 2026, according to Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based statistical office, in 2025, 52.74% of EU enterprises used paid cloud computing services, primarily for email, office software, and file storage, marking an increase of 7.42 percentage points compared with 2023. Therefore, the increasing adoption of cloud-based computing infrastructure is fueling the growth of the host intrusion prevention system (IPS) market.
