The Philippines IoT security market size reached around USD 91.87 Million in 2024. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 27.10% between 2025 and 2034 to reach nearly USD 1010.72 Million by 2034.
Philippines IoT Security Market Growth
The Philippines’ increasing geopolitical tensions with its neighbours have led to a surge in the number of state-sponsored cyberattacks in the country. This comprises of a combination of attacks, including distributed denial-of-service (10%), misinformation and influence campaigns (35%), and computer hacks and data leaks (55%). The primary target of such attacks is the government (80%), along with domestic education institutions (20%). In Q1, FY-2024, cyber espionage activities recorded a year-on-year surge of 325%, indicating the rising threat of action by foreign states. This has exposed significant vulnerabilities in Philippines’ IoT infrastructure and is thus, expected to accelerate the demand for IoT security market in Philippines.
Moreover, Philippines has started to build smart cities and smart homes. By 2030, the Philippines’ digital economy is expected to generate an economic value of USD 5 trillion. Increasing investment into the development of smart cities is expected to raise the demand for smart IoT solutions that promote intelligent transport systems, conserve energy, and reduce travel time. The adoption of smart thermostats and advanced sensors in commercial settings is expected to improve traffic management within the facility, thereby boosting productivity and efficiency. To ensure uninterrupted service delivery to citizens and employees, investments in IoT security solutions is expected to surge significantly, thereby driving market growth.

June 22, 2022
Major cybersecurity firms reported that the sophistication of cyber-attacks on the Philippines’ mobile users surged significantly. In 2021, the nation accounted for nearly 22.26% of the discovery of banking Trojans Banking, which enables malicious internet users to steal digital money from victims’ e-wallets and online banking accounts.
The shift towards live labelling
Printed labels featuring a link/QR code can direct consumers to a website where they can self-identify the level of protection offered by IoT devices, thereby driving market growth.
Emphasis on device authentication
This includes cryptographic keys, face detection, biometric authentication, or secure digital certificates that ensures only authorised access to your connected digital system. The increasing consumer awareness regarding secure device authentication methods is expected to fuel Philippines IoT security market expansion.
Rising appeal for data encryption
Data encryption is crucial for preventing tampering and eavesdropping. TLS/SSL, and other reliable protocols are used for securing communication and safeguarding sensitive information.
Rising demand for zero-trust security model
Such model ensures strict access limits, continuous monitoring, and device and user verification. It is expected to contribute to the Philippines IoT security market value over the forecast period.
Philippines IoT Security Market Trends
Traditional security models have focused on the establishment of a secure perimeter surrounding an organizational network with the presence of on-premises VPNs and firewalls. Once users access this network, they are trusted with access to all the resources. However, zero trust security model doesn’t regard users within the perimeter as reliable and verifies each access request individually to ensure network security within the organisation and reduce data breaches.
