Embedded Security Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

The global embedded security market size reached a value of USD 7.16 Billion in 2024. During the forecast period of between 2025 and 2034, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.00% to reach a value of around USD 12.82 Billion by 2034.

Key Trends in the Market

Embedded security is the security system used to protect hardware components as well as software on specific devices, particularly embedded systems. Device and product producers can secure their products from cyberthreats with the use of embedded security solutions. Embedded security plays a vital role in robotics by improving reliability and performance and reducing IoT attack risks.

• Side-channel attacks exploit processed data that has been extracted from a chip or a system to infer private data, including messages and cryptographic keys. An embedded security system employs a variety of security techniques inside channel analysis to find potential embedded security threats. Embedded security solutions are well suited for usage in a wide range of applications as they can perform a wide range of tasks, including end-to-end threat analysis, securing applications, design and test for security, security testing, and real-time computing. In the upcoming years, it is projected that these factors would help the embedded security market flourish.
• The market is driven by an increase in embedded security requirements brought on by the heightened deployment of wearable technologies in healthcare. Machine-to-Machine (M2M) authentication, which is strong, scalable, and reasonably priced, is becoming more and more necessary as medical wearable technology rapidly grows in applications and volume.
• Over the course of the forecast, IoT deployment will increase. Digitally interconnected and prevalent in many facets of modern life, including homes, workplaces, and automobiles, IoT-integrated gadgets are now found everywhere. However, a significant problem with IoT is that it creates large volumes of data, leaving devices open to attack by hackers. Attacks on industrial machine-to-machine networks have brought to light a number of risks associated with cyber-attacks, including brand devaluation, operational disruptions, and damage to customer relationships. During the forecast period, the need for embedded security will increase as more devices are connected to the IoT.
