Container security involves implementing security measures and tools to establish robust information security for any workload or system utilizing containers. Its objective is to safeguard containerized applications against threats, ensuring integrity, runtime safety, and network protection.
The primary components of container security encompass solutions and services. Solutions involve tools and practices that ensure the protection of containerized applications. They address vulnerabilities, manage secrets, provide runtime security, and seamlessly integrate into cloud environments. These solutions are deployed in various modes such as cloud, on-premise, and enterprise, catering to different sizes of enterprises, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and large enterprises. End users of container security span across sectors, including banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI), retail and consumer goods, healthcare and life sciences, manufacturing, IT and telecommunications, government and public sector, and other diverse end-user categories.

The container security market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.95 billion in 2024 to $2.44 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing adoption of containerization and cloud computing solutions, growing demand for microservices, digital transformation among enterprises, rising demand for enhanced infrastructure solutions, competitive landscape and strategic initiatives by key players.
The container security market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.36 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to regulatory shifts and global trends, increasing demand for security solutions, emergence of influential players and expansion of operations across borders, global market penetration and the growing preference for cloud computing, increasing demand for microservices and digital transformation among enterprises. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements and changing consumer behaviors, regulatory shifts and global trends, increasing demand for security solutions, growing adoption of cloud computing solutions across various industry verticals, emergence of influential players and expansion of operations across borders.
The anticipated rise in cloud computing adoption is poised to drive growth within the container security market in the foreseeable future. Cloud computing entails delivering computing services via the internet, granting access to diverse resources without necessitating ownership or management of underlying infrastructure. Businesses, necessitated to swiftly adapt to evolving market dynamics, leverage cloud computing for its flexibility and scalability benefits. Within container security, cloud computing is instrumental in automating tasks such as vulnerability scanning, intrusion detection, and threat response, streamlining security management processes. As reported by Eurostat in December 2023, approximately 42.5% of EU enterprises embraced cloud computing in 2023, primarily for hosting email systems and storing electronic files, marking a 4.2% increase from 2021. Consequently, the burgeoning adoption of cloud computing fuels the expansion of the container security market.
Key players within the container security sector are actively innovating advanced technologies, such as cloud-native container security solutions, to better cater to customer needs with enhanced features. These security solutions are engineered to safeguard containerized applications and infrastructure within cloud environments, aligning with the requisites of cloud-native software engineering teams. For example, in October 2022, Veracode, a US-based cloud-based application security firm, unveiled Veracode Container Security as part of its continuous software security platform. This novel offering integrates seamlessly into the continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline, accessible through a command-line interface. It delivers comprehensive coverage for identifying and remedying vulnerabilities, managing secrets, and addressing security configuration issues across prevalent operating systems. By furnishing remediation guidance early in the software development lifecycle, the solution ensures prompt identification and resolution of insecure containers before they progress to the production phase.
In December 2023, Mend.io, an Israel-based software company, acquired Atom Security for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows Mend.io to bolster its application security capabilities, particularly in enhancing container-level security. Atom Security, a U.S.-based software company, specializes in cyber risk assessment and container security solutions, offering critical tools to mitigate vulnerabilities in containerized applications. This strategic move aligns with Mend.io's goal of expanding its security offerings and providing more robust protection for modern, containerized environments.
