Network Traffic Analysis Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Network Traffic Analysis Market Analysis

The Network Traffic Analysis Market size is estimated at USD 3.56 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 6.5 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 12.78% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Network traffic analysis is used by companies to improve network management and strengthen their security protocols, which is driving the market across industries.

• Network administrators currently face a dynamic environment wherein the rising number of system applications, distributed infrastructure, virtualizations, and cloud services have created considerable demand for stability and improved administration of networks. Thus, the need for tools to provide enhanced visibility in communication at both the device/system and network levels and control over network applications has become paramount. This control helps reduce the time between the occurrence and resolution of a network issue, monitor network capacity consumption, and proactively avoid network and application problems while ensuring greater network security.
• Increasing cloud traffic resulted in increased concerns about network security across businesses, thus driving the need to manage distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks and maintain the quality of experience (QoE). The global growth in network infrastructure, owing to the increasing number of data centers and shared storage solutions, drives the network traffic analysis market.
• With the evolving nature of the attacks, many technology experts estimate that the network-based micro-breaches may be small enough to evade even the most advanced detection systems ever built. It is also known that deploying network traffic analysis solutions provides a rapid ROI compared to the endpoint and sandbox solutions. These factors have been instrumental in making the market a growing investment area for enterprise security teams.
• Each tool has a different analytical methodology, and the data required for analysis might vary significantly from tool to tool and within tool categories. Data from past studies are marginally helpful in new analytical methods. For data collecting, it is necessary to budget for adequate resources, which is sometimes more than the companies' affordability and limiting the market adoption rate.
• During the COVID-19 outbreak, employees and other stakeholders began remote work, thus created increased pressure on an organization's cybersecurity risk management. Another significant source of stress being created by work-from-home policies is no lead time for reinforcing and enhancing network capabilities.

Network Traffic Analysis Industry Segmentation

Network traffic analysis (NTA) is the process of recording, reviewing, and analyzing network traffic for the purpose of performance, security, and/or general network operations and management. It is a technique to spot anomalies, such as security and operational problems. Collecting a real-time and historical record of what is occurring on users' networks is one of the common use cases for NTA.

The Network Traffic Analysis Market is segmented by Deployment (On-premise and Cloud-based), End-user Vertical (BFSI, IT and Telecom, Government, Energy and Power, and Retail), and Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East and Africa).

The market sizes and forecasts are provided in value (in USD million) for all the above segments.
