시장 성장 요인
사이버 위협의 빈도 상승 및 고도화
사이버 범죄자들은 민감한 정보를 훔치기 위한 오랜 시간의 목표 공격을 수반하는 APT와 같은 고급 기술을 사용하기 시작했습니다. NGFW는 침입 방어 시스템(IPS) 및 고급 위협 인텔리전스와 같은 기능을 통해 이러한 고급 위협을 감지하고 완화할 수 있는 향상된 기능을 제공합니다. 소프트웨어 및 웹 용도의 특정 취약점을 겨냥한 공격과 같은 용도 계층에 대한 공격이 증가함에 따라 NGFW는 악의적인 활동을 식별하고 차단하는 기능을 강화하고 있습니다. 이러한 요인으로 인해 차세대 방화벽 수요가 향후 몇 년 동안 증가할 것으로 보입니다.
클라우드 서비스 채택 확대
클라우드 통합 기능을 갖춘 NGFW는 온프레미스 및 클라우드 환경에서 일관된 보안 정책을 수립하고 시행할 수 있습니다. 이 통합은 일관된 보안 시스템을 유지하고 리소스 위치에 관계없이 일관된 보안 정책을 적용하는 데 필수적입니다. 클라우드에 통합된 NGFW는 온프레미스 및 클라우드 환경에 걸친 네트워크 트래픽, 사용자 활동 및 용도 가시성을 향상시킵니다. 이러한 요인들은 차세대 방화벽 시장의 확대를 촉진할 것으로 예상됩니다.
시장 성장 억제요인
NGFW 솔루션 구축에 드는 높은 비용
NGFW 솔루션에 대한 초기 투자를 위해서는 하드웨어와 소프트웨어 구성 요소를 모두 구입해야 합니다. NGFW 어플라이언스와 이에 수반되는 소프트웨어 기능의 라이선스 비용은 상당할 수 있습니다. 소규모 조직에서는 이러한 구성 요소를 얻기 위해 큰 리소스를 할당하는 데 어려움을 겪을 수 있습니다. NGFW를 효과적으로 활용하려면 이러한 고급 보안 솔루션을 구축, 구성 및 관리 교육받은 인력이 필요합니다. IT 직원의 교육 비용은 전반적인 비용에 부과될 수 있으며 소규모 조직에서는 종합적인 교육 프로그램에 리소스를 할당하는 것이 어려울 수 있습니다. 그 결과 차세대 방화벽 시장 수요가 감소할 것으로 보입니다.
업계별 전망
업계별로는 BFSI, 정부 및 공공사업, 에너지 및 공공사업, 헬스케어 및 생명과학, 소매 및 전자상거래, IT 및 통신, 교육 등으로 분류됩니다. BFSI 분야는 2022년 시장 수익 점유율에서 최대를 기록했습니다. BFSI 분야는 고객 정보, 거래, 기타 기밀 데이터 등 기밀성이 높은 금융 데이터를 다룹니다. 금융기관은 보안 침해로 인한 고통스러운 금전적 손실이나 평판 피해를 입을 수 있습니다. NGFW는 침입 방어, 용도 제어, 딥 패킷 검사와 같은 고급 보안 기능을 제공하고 진화하는 사이버 위협에 대한 견고한 보호 기능을 제공합니다. 그 결과, 이 부문 수요가 증가할 것으로 보입니다.

Market Growth Factors
Rising Frequency and Sophistication of Cyber Threats
Cybercriminals are increasingly using advanced techniques, such as APTs, which involve prolonged and targeted attacks aimed at stealing sensitive information. NGFWs provide enhanced capabilities to detect and mitigate such sophisticated threats through features like intrusion prevention systems (IPS) and advanced threat intelligence. With the rise of application-layer attacks, including those targeting specific vulnerabilities in software and web applications, NGFWs are better equipped to identify and block malicious activities. These factors will boost the demand for next generation firewalls in the coming years.
Growing Adoption of Cloud Services
NGFWs with cloud integration capabilities enable organizations to establish and enforce consistent security policies across both on-premises and cloud environments. This uniformity is essential for maintaining a cohesive security posture and ensuring that security policies are applied consistently, regardless of the location of the resources. Cloud-integrated NGFWs provide enhanced visibility into network traffic, user activities, and applications across on-premises and cloud environments. These factors are expected to propel the expansion of the next generation firewall market.
Market Restraining Factors
High Cost of Deploying NGFW Solutions
The initial investment in NGFW solutions involves purchasing both hardware and software components. The cost of the NGFW appliances and the accompanying licenses for software features can be substantial. Smaller organizations may struggle to allocate significant resources to acquire these components. Effectively utilizing NGFWs requires personnel trained in deploying, configuring, and managing these advanced security solutions. Training costs for IT staff can add to the overall expense, and smaller organizations might face challenges in allocating resources for comprehensive training programs. As a result, there will be decreased demand in the next generation firewall market.
Vertical Outlook
Based on vertical, the market is divided into BFSI, government & public utilities, energy & utilities, healthcare & life sciences, retail & eCommerce, IT & telecom, education, and others. The BFSI segment recorded the maximum revenue share in the market in 2022. The BFSI sector deals with highly sensitive financial data, including customer information, transactions, and other confidential data. Financial institutions may suffer grievous financial losses and reputational harm due to security breaches. NGFWs offer advanced security features such as intrusion prevention, application control, and deep packet inspection, providing robust protection against evolving cyber threats. As a result, there will be increased demand in the segment.
Organization Size Outlook
On the basis of organization size, the market is divided into small & medium enterprises and large enterprises. In 2022, the small and medium enterprises segment witnessed a substantial revenue share in the market. The rising frequency and sophistication of cyber threats affects businesses of all sizes. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are becoming more aware of the need for robust cybersecurity solutions, including NGFWs, to protect their networks from cyber-attacks. Vendors are developing solutions catering to smaller businesses' needs and resource limitations. These aspects will help in the expansion of the segment.
Type Outlook
Based on type, the market is segmented into solutions and services. The solution segment held the largest revenue share in the market in 2022. Cyber threats' ongoing development and persistence remain significant catalysts for expanding NGFW solutions. By their capability to perform application-layer filtering, intrusion prevention, and deep packet inspection, NGFWs provide a comprehensive defense against various cyber threats, such as ransomware, advanced persistent threats, and malware. These aspects will boost the demand in the segment.
Solution Outlook
The solution segment is further segmented into hardware, virtual, and cloud. The hardware segment procured the highest revenue share in the market in 2022. The hardware segment growth can be attributed to the increasing complexity of networks. As organizations expand their digital footprint, the number of devices, endpoints, and applications connected to networks grows exponentially. This complexity necessitates robust hardware solutions capable of handling high volumes of network traffic while delivering consistent and reliable performance. Owing to these factors, there will be an increased demand in the segment.
Service Outlook
The services segment is further divided into professional and managed. The professional segment recorded the maximum revenue share in the market in 2022. Many organizations lack the in-house expertise to leverage the capabilities of NGFWs and ensure optimal configurations fully. Professional services providers are crucial in bridging this gap by offering consulting services that assess an organization's unique requirements, recommend tailored NGFW solutions, and guide best practices for implementation and configuration. As a result, there will be increased growth in the segment.
Regional Outlook
By region, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LAMEA. In 2022, the Europe segment acquired a considerable revenue share in the market. Europe has enforced rigorous data protection and privacy legislation, exemplified by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Compliance with these regulations requires organizations to implement advanced security measures, including NGFWs, to safeguard sensitive data. As organizations adopt cloud computing, IoT (Internet of Things), and other technologies, there is a growing need for advanced firewall solutions to provide granular visibility and control over network traffic.
