Global Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) Market – Analysis and Forecast (2025-2030)

Industry Insights by Component (Solution and Service), by Delivery Type (Hardware, Virtual, and Cloud), by Service (Professional (Consulting, Support and Maintenance, System Integration), and Managed), by Organization Size (Large Enterprise and Small and Medium Enterprise), by Industry Vertical (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance, Retail, IT and Telecommunications, Government and Public Utilities, Healthcare, Energy and Utilities, and Others)

Industry Overview

The global Next-Generation Firewall Market is expected to reach USD 7.6 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 12.8% during the forecast period. The global next-generation firewall (NGFW) market is growing at a remarkable rate being the essential foundation component in any network security architecture. Firewalls have always been an essential requirement for any enterprise security. As a result, currently, due to the high-risk business landscape, third-generation device protection is required against progressively erudite attack tactics. An NGFW is defined as an integrated network platform combining a basic firewall with application-specific granular controls to spot application-specific attacks.

Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) Market Highlights

NGFW combines traditional firewall protections with more advanced features, including intrusion detection, in-line deep packet inspection, and website filtering. The prime reason behind the growth of NGFW is due to their capability to resolve web-based threats, malware, application-layer attacks, and other dangerous cyber threats.

Industry Dynamics

Industry Trends

The rising complexity of virtualized networks and the adoption of cloud computing globally are two of the major trends prevailing in the next-generation firewall market currently.

The growing trend of employees using personal devices for work and the rise in remote work arrangements have expanded the attack surface, necessitating the use of NGFWs to secure network access and protect against unauthorized access.

Growth Drivers

The growing adoption of IoT devices with multiple connected devices requires a resource-friendly security solution precisely equipped to deliver defensive proficiencies against multiple types of Internet-based attacks. This will impact the next-generation firewall progression in the market in the near future.

Increasing cyber threats: The proliferation of sophisticated cyber threats, such as advanced persistent threats (APTs), malware, ransomware, and zero-day attacks, has necessitated the use of advanced security solutions like NGFWs.

Regulatory compliance: Stringent data protection regulations and compliance requirements imposed by governments and industry standards have prompted organizations to invest in robust security solutions like NGFWs to safeguard sensitive information.

Cloud adoption: The migration of applications and data to cloud environments has introduced new security challenges, requiring NGFWs with advanced capabilities to secure cloud-based infrastructure and applications.

Advancements in technology: NGFW vendors continuously innovate and enhance their offerings, incorporating machine learning, artificial intelligence, and automation to detect and mitigate evolving threats effectively.

Challenges

High implementation cost restricts the next-generation firewalls adoption by small and medium enterprises and therefore, act as a challenge for the market at the current time.

Geographic Overview

Geographically, North America followed by Europe is the largest next-generation firewall market in terms of revenue. Being home to several large economies and financially and technologically advanced region, these regions capture a major market share of NGFW.

However, APAC with rapid digitalization and IoT adoption is the fastest-growing market during the forecast period. In addition, some of the well-recognized BFSI, IT and telecommunication companies also reside in the region, which requires advanced security features. This as a result is creating a positive impact on the next-generation firewall market growth globally.
