Several government initiatives were undertaken to restrict increasing cross-border insurgency and terrorist threats are expected to drive demand. Also, growing human trafficking, drug smuggling, and illegal immigration are persuading the government of various countries to invest profoundly in the procurement of homeland security solutions. Cybersecurity is anticipated to be the fastest-growing market segment. This growth can be attributed to regions such as North America, and Europe that is investing immensely in cyber defenses, hence, driving the market. The majority of illegal immigrants in these countries come from developing countries and work in low-wage jobs in the agricultural, construction, and service sectors.

Advanced technologies such as cloud, social, and next-generation mobile computing in the business environment are fundamentally altering the way organizations exploit information technology for sharing information and conducting online. Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) are being used extensively in national safety missions across the world.Unmanned systems are becoming more affordable, proficient, and easier to operate which is expected to drive the industry growth further.  The market is expected to witness a substantial growth over the forecast period, owing to rising demand for security solutions and equipment across various industry verticals such as maritime, aviation, border and cyber security, among others.

Increasing proliferation of social networking and advancement of information technology offer infinite benefits in the living and working environments. However, such advantages can also create troubles in several types of cyber exploitation threats. Advances in Cyber Security gather the knowledge of cyber security experts from academia, government and industry across national and international boundaries to offer ways and means, which protect and sustain the cyberspace ecosystem.

There is an increasing demand for few federally funded technologies such as Path Scan, which is a intrusion detection system that prevent cyber-attacks by detecting anomalous network-hopping activities; MLSTONES, which is biology based malware and event analysis forensic tools that tags and sequences events looking for similarities.

Another unique approach to cyber security is virtual dispersive networking, which is highly advanced than the non-traditional military radio spread-spectrum security approaches. Such dispersive technologies encrypt each component message individually and route them over diverse protocols following independent paths.

Key market participants in the homeland security market are unceasingly focusing on reduction in the cost of innovative next-generation technologies and solutions such as sensor technology for evolving customer needs. Suppliers in the industry invest immensely on R&D to offer efficient, scalable technologies, which offer real-time instrumentation and analytics across networks. It includes delivering deep intelligence and high-fidelity visibility about networked systems, their vulnerabilities, and providing required information on security.

Cyber security is expected to be a significant segment owing to the increased investment in cyber security products and solutions due to growing cyber threats, cyber espionage, and cyber frauds. With increasing uncertainties in international relations is leading to greater threat from cyber espionage. An alarming increase in digitalization, mobile data usage, and cloud usage as well as cyber security laws and legislations are expected to fuel growth of cyber security systems and solutions.

Types Insights

The critical infrastructure security segment accounted for the largest revenue share of 25.7% in 2022. In the U.S., the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has identified 16 sectors involving critical infrastructure, including energy, communications, transportation, financial services, food and agriculture. The significant cyber protection risks occur from the widespread and increasing dependence on information and communication technology infrastructure and e-services, which has led the key focus on ensuring safety by combating cybercrime more efficiently and advancing national defense capabilities.

The maritime security segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 7.0% during the forecast period. The growth of the maritime security segment is attributed to the increasing use of maritime transport which has led to an increase in illegal immigration, smuggling of prohibited substances, and terrorist attacks on ports and coastal regions

Regional Insights
