Market Trends of Network Security Firewall Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Network Security Firewall Market according to our research experts:
Solution Segment is Expected to Witness Significant Growth
- The solution segment claimed the majority of share in the global network security firewall market owing to the continuous development in security protocols of telecom service providers to detect and protect against SS7 vulnerabilities, such as fraud, user location tracking, and denial of service (DoS).
- In September 2022, Netskope launched enhancements to the cloud firewall solution. The company states that the firewall-as-a-service (FWaaS) component of its converged SASE platform is designed to help customers simplify operations, prevent threats, and provide consistent firewall coverage worldwide anywhere their users are located.
- The solutions segment is also expected to witness the fastest CAGR over the forecast period owing to telecom organizations' growing adoption of SMS firewall solutions. SMS firewall solutions are used in network security firewall applications to detect malware over the operator's network.
- The growing number of diameter attacks in the telecom industry also supports the deployment of firewall solutions, thus, contributing to the growth of the network security firewall solutions market.

North America to Account for Largest Market Share
- North America accounted for the largest share of the network security firewall market and is expected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period as the region is home to several leading network security providers.
- North America is also anticipated to capture the largest share of the network security firewalls market in terms of revenue over the coming years, owing to rapid advancements in mobile security technologies in this region. The large share of this region is mainly attributed to its considerable investments in data security due to the significant rise in cyber-attacks.
- Over the past few years, many cyberattacks have targeted organizations in the North American region. This has led to a greater awareness of firewall solutions and their adoption among major companies across different regional sectors, thus contributing to market growth.
- The region is active in state-sponsored and individual cyberattacks and ransomware attacks. For instance, according to the CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) US, Russia conducted cyberattacks against commercial satellite communications networks in late February 2022 to disrupt Ukrainian command and control during the Russian invasion, with spillover effects in other European countries.
- According to evolving intelligence, the Russian government is considering alternatives for prospective cyberattacks. Recent Russian state-sponsored cyber operations have included distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against the Ukrainian government and critical infrastructure companies and the deployment of harmful malware.
- The government infrastructure and private companies are also major targets for hackers in the United States. For instance, in August 2021, Hafnium, a Chinese hacker gang, discovered Microsoft Exchange vulnerabilities that provided them access to the email accounts of at least 30,000 firms in the United States and 250,000 globally. At least ten more advanced persistent threat groups began exploiting the security holes for coin mining and espionage shortly after Microsoft publicized the problems and began patching the email server vulnerabilities.
