critical infrastructure security market By Component (Security Technologies and Services), By Solution (Physical Safety and Security, Cybersecurity), By Vertical (Financial Institutions, Defence, Energy and Power) and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and South America) Global Forecast 2020 to 2030

Critical infrastructure security refers to the security of physical and cyber security systems and assets that are so critical and important to the country that their damage or incapacity would have an unbearable impact on the country’s economic or physical security. Critical infrastructure comprises transportation analytics, finance and banking, food production and distribution, law enforcement agencies, energy, water systems, municipal services, and other emergency services of both private and government. These systems are essential for the least possible operations of the government and economy. Critical infrastructure security provides controls to devise stability, security to the communication line between devices, and it monitors and manages the connected devices.

The global market for the critical infrastructure security is anticipated to develop at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8% throughout the course of the forecast, to reach USD 333.36 Billion by 2030.

The increasing necessity of cybersecurity in government digital assets

The major application of cybersecurity in any organization is to analyze threats and mitigates them immediately. Critical infrastructure protection implementation ensures organization overall safety and undisturbed functioning of its critical infrastructure. CIS not only provides security to national important assets such as nuclear sites but it also secures virtual assets such as defense blueprints. However, due to rising advanced cyber-attacks, the necessity of constant development in cyber-security is on the rise.

The emergence of smart cities

The security of cities has been a crucial concern throughout the years for many governments. However, with the emergence of smart cities, the development of critical infrastructure is on the rise. Smart Cities are urban centers developed to integrate physical infrastructures and cyber technologies to create economic and environmental efficiencies while improving the overall quality of life of citizens. Furthermore, rising investments in smart city projects are expected to impact significantly on the growth of critical infrastructure security market. It is recorded that, spending on smart cities is anticipated to reach USD 34 billion in 2020.

Energy & power application holds the largest market share

Major applications analyzed in this market are government & defense, IT & telecom, energy & power, banking and finance, transportation, and others. Among these, the energy & power application holds the largest share in the global critical infrastructure security market. The rising number of initiatives taken by many industries to develop robust security systems have increased the preparedness and planning against cyber-attacks. The advent of the smart grid has further increased the necessity of robust critical infrastructure security across the globe.

North America holds the largest share in the global critical infrastructure security market

As the initiator of critical infrastructure security, North America is one of the prominent regions in the market. In the US, the program to ensure security and safety of IT and critical infrastructures was introduced in 1996 and this is one of the major reasons behind the growth of the market in the region. In 2005, the US has adopted smart grid technology, which keeps computers interconnected to each other to prevent power failure and promote self-repair. In addition to this, the establishment of the North American Electric Reliability Corporations (NERC) has further impacted the growth of the critical infrastructure security market in the region. NERC mainly promotes the adequacy and reliability of power transmission in the electric utility systems of North America.
