5G Security Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 38.08% through 2030F
The
Global 5G Security Market is expected to be led by North America due to its
advanced 5G infrastructure, strong cybersecurity ecosystem, and early adoption
across key industries, during the forecast period 2026-2030F
According to TechSci Research report, “5G Security Market - Global
Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F, The
Global 5G Security Market was valued at USD 3.76 Billion in 2024 and is
expected to reach USD 26.06 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 38.08% through 2030.
Edge computing
is a cornerstone of 5G architecture, enabling localized data processing for
low-latency applications such as autonomous vehicles and smart grids. However,
distributing processing across multiple endpoints increases exposure to
potential threats. Edge nodes, often resource-constrained, become entry points
for attackers, driving the need for embedded and lightweight security
solutions.
Network
slicing allows multiple virtual networks to operate over a single physical
infrastructure, each customized for specific service needs. While efficient,
this also creates isolated slices vulnerable to lateral movement if one is
compromised. Secure slicing with identity management and real-time threat
isolation has become a focal area for telecom operators, boosting the demand
for advanced 5G security platforms. As of 2024, over 200 mobile network
operators globally have launched commercial network slicing trials, with at
least 70 offering live services. This layered virtual architecture, while
efficient, introduces complex security demands, reinforcing the need for
sophisticated isolation and monitoring tools across each network slice.
The transition
to 5G has fueled a paradigm shift toward Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA),
replacing the outdated "trust but verify" security model. In 5G
networks—characterized by distributed cloud cores, edge computing, and billions
of connected devices—the perimeter is fluid or non-existent. Zero Trust
principles, which require continuous authentication and strict identity
verification regardless of location or access level, are being adopted widely
by operators and enterprises to safeguard users, workloads, and data in this
decentralized landscape.
The
implementation of Zero Trust in 5G involves securing individual network
functions, encrypting communications at every node, and ensuring identity-aware
segmentation within network slices. Enterprises leveraging 5G for remote
workforces, smart factories, or connected logistics are increasingly investing
in Zero Trust to prevent lateral movement of threats across virtualized
environments. This trend aligns with growing regulatory expectations around
data protection and infrastructure resilience. As ZTA matures and becomes
integrated with AI-driven policy enforcement engines, its role will only
deepen, forming a cornerstone of next-gen 5G security strategies.

In
the Global 5G Security Market, the Healthcare segment emerged as the
fastest-growing industry segment in 2024 and is projected to maintain this
momentum throughout the forecast period. The rising demand for secure and
high-speed connectivity in healthcare applications—ranging from telemedicine
and remote surgeries to AI-enabled diagnostics and real-time patient
monitoring—has significantly boosted the adoption of 5G networks. As healthcare
institutions increasingly digitize their operations and migrate to cloud-based
platforms, the need for robust 5G security frameworks to safeguard sensitive
patient data and comply with data protection regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR
becomes critical.
The
integration of Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices, electronic health
records, and wearable health monitors relies heavily on ultra-low latency,
real-time communication, and end-to-end encryption that only advanced 5G
security solutions can provide. Furthermore, the increasing cyber threats
targeting healthcare systems have prompted providers and governments to invest
in enhanced security tools like network slicing, zero-trust architectures, and
next-gen firewalls tailored for 5G infrastructures. With the acceleration of
smart hospital initiatives and increased spending on digital health ecosystems
globally, the healthcare sector is expected to continue driving substantial
growth within the 5G Security Market, making it the most dynamic and rapidly
evolving industry vertical.
In
2024, the Asia Pacific region rapidly emerged as the fastest-growing market in
the global 5G Security market, driven by accelerated 5G infrastructure
deployment and increasing investments in cybersecurity. Countries such as
China, Japan, South Korea, and India witnessed a surge in demand for secure 5G
networks across sectors including manufacturing, healthcare, and smart cities.
Government initiatives promoting digital transformation and stringent
regulatory frameworks further boosted the adoption of advanced 5G security
solutions. Additionally, the expansion of IoT devices and edge computing
technologies heightened the need for robust security frameworks. As regional
enterprises embrace 5G for critical operations, the Asia Pacific is positioned
to lead in secure next-generation connectivity solutions.
