According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Security Market is accounted for $19.4 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $32.7 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 9.1% during the forecast period. Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Security is the set of practices, technologies, and strategies employed to protect the operational technology (OT) systems that monitor and control industrial processes, manufacturing, and critical infrastructure. These ICS include Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, Distributed Control Systems (DCS), and other industrial automation and control equipment. Industrial control systems security is crucial because these systems are responsible for managing and controlling vital processes in industries such as energy, utilities, transportation, and manufacturing.
According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), the annual installation of industrial robots is anticipated to reach 718 thousand units globally by 2026, from 400 thousand units in 2017.
Market Dynamics:Driver:Growing demand from aerospace sector
The aerospace industry relies heavily on complex and automated manufacturing processes controlled by ICS. As the demand for aerospace products increases, there's a parallel rise in investment in advanced manufacturing technologies and secure ICS to manage them. This leads to a larger market for robust ICS security solutions that can safeguard these critical systems. Moreover, the growing awareness of these cyber threats compels aerospace manufacturers to prioritize robust ICS security measures to protect their design data, production processes, and ultimately, the safety of their aircraft.
Restraint:Complex manufacturing process
Complex manufacturing processes can lead to higher production costs for ICS components and equipment. This translates to more expensive security solutions, hindering their adoption, particularly for smaller players in the market. Budget constraints might force them to choose less secure options or forgo implementing security altogether. Additionally, the complexity might discourage innovation in the development of new, more secure ICS components hampering the growth of the market.
Opportunity:Strategic stockpiling by governments
Governments stockpiling critical equipment and supplies for vital infrastructure like power grids, water treatment plants, and communication networks will likely prioritize robust ICS security measures to protect these stockpiles. This can lead to increased demand for security solutions like firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and security software for these stockpiled systems.
Threat:High production costs
The high cost of implementing ICS security solutions, including hardware, software, installation, and ongoing maintenance, can be a significant barrier for small and medium-sized industrial facilities. These companies might have tighter budgets and struggle to justify the initial investment, limiting market reach. Security vendors need to emphasize the long-term value proposition of ICS security. This includes quantifying the potential cost savings from preventing cyberattacks and disruptions, as well as the importance of protecting critical infrastructure and intellectual property.
Covid-19 Impact
The onset of the COVID-19 exhibits significant market growth. The penetration of the digital transformation strategies because of the COVID-19 has directly propelled the needs for safety systems, subsequently to further problems like availability, performance, safety, and growing IT costs, is considering bolstering the requirements for industrial control system solutions and services. The widespread of the COVID-19 is leading the trend of the adoption of industrial control methods due to the proliferation of the internet, along with ICS offers advantages like interconnectivity and better management.
The network security solutions segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The network security solutions is expected to be the largest during the forecast period as these solutions play a crucial role in safeguarding OT networks, including SCADA systems, DCS, and PLCs, from cyber threats and vulnerabilities. Moreover, the adoption of network security solutions by industries enhances the overall cybersecurity posture of ICS environments. Solutions such as firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), network segmentation, and secure remote access help to detect and mitigate threats, preventing unauthorized access and data breaches.
The automotive segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The automotive segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to the growing cost of labor and the intense pressure automotive manufacturer’s face to meet deadlines. Using devices like industrial personal computers (PCs), programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and programmable automation controllers (PACs), automation solutions automate industrial processes without requiring human interaction. Automation could increase productivity worldwide. In addition, since a large portion of work in automotive professions can be automated, some of these occupations may be partially automated.
Region with largest share:North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period due to the demand for security solutions is rising due to the increasing use of connected devices and the internet of Things in a range of local businesses. Additionally, it is anticipated that the number of security solution providers in the U.S. will increase in the forecasted period. Therefore, the North America is expected to grow significantly in the forecasted period.
Region with highest CAGR:Asia Pacific is projected to hold the highest CAGR over the forecast period as several companies are introducing advanced technologies in countries such as China with significant potential in terms of technology adoption, digitization, and government support to boost yearly outputs. For instance, in order to maximize its production capacity and reach an annual output of 50,00 tonnes of rolled copper strip and foil production, Northern Copper Industry Co. Ltd, a company based in China, producer of raw material copper stock, selected ABB to implement an automation and electrical system that included an ABB Ability System 800xA distributed control system (DCS). Therefore, it is driving the market growth in the region.
