Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS) Market Analysis & Forecast 2026-2032

Overview

Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS) is cybersecurity solution designed to monitor, detect, and prevent any unauthorised or malicious activities. The system enables the detection of threats in real-time and responds to them automatically or via alerts. IDPS has two main systems: Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS). IDPS helps to prevent data breaches, malware infections, and network disruptions. The massive expansion of the IT environment and growing concerns over cybersecurity propel the growth of the Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS) Market.   

Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS) Market Drivers and Trends

• Rising Cybersecurity Threats: The most important factor contributing to the market growth is the growing frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks. Attacks like phishing, DDoS, and APTs have grown significantly in recent years, leading organisations to deploy advanced IDPS. According to the IBM report, The global average cost of a data breach is around USD 4.4. million and many organisations are struggling to adopt faster identification and containment of these attacks.
• Stringent Data Protection Regulations: IDPS helps organisations to comply and avoid hefty financial and reputational consequences that may be caused by the strict Legal frameworks such as GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, PCI-DSS, and others. 
• Hybrid and Cloud Deployments: Scalability and Cost-efficiency have become important parameters for the oragnization, which can easily be achieved using Cloud-Native IDPS, Hybrid and Service-Integrated IDPS. It provides Unified Visibility with End-to-end monitoring across cloud and hybrid environments.
• Supply Chain Risks: Vendors, contractors, and service providers generally have access to the organisation's network, and that could create potential backdoors. Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems empower supply chain resilience by providing real-time monitoring, detection, and response across interconnected networks.
• Network Behaviour Analysis (NBA): Traditional security tool relies on signatures, but NBA or Network Behaviour Anomaly Detection (NBAD) analyse baseline behaviour of the network and any significant deviation from the baseline may indicate a cyber threat. 
• Adaptive Security: Technological advances like Artificial Intelligence and Threat Intelligence enable IPDS with self-adjusting and context-aware defence systems that automate threat response.

Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS) Market Challenges

• Performance Limitation: As no product is perfect, IPDS also flags legitimate traffic as malicious and bypasses detection for Advanced threats like encrypted malware or zero-days. It impacts the market growth as organisations are sometimes reluctant to adopt these security measures.
• High Cost: Licensing fees and Hardware may create a cost barrier, especially for small and medium enterprises. Also, maintenance and management can further create cost burdens for these organisations.
• Adoption Barrier: Integrating and maintaining cybersecurity measures is a complex process, and a lack of skilled people can limit the adoption of the Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS).
• Emerging Technologies: Cybersceuryt is one of the fastest changing technologies, and hence Solutions like Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs), Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR), and Extended Detection & Response (XDR) are diluting the IDPS Market shares.

Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS) Market Segmentation Insights

Research study based on the in-depth analysis of the main IDPS components, which includes Solutions (software/platform) and Services. Solution segment leads the market and is expected to show an impressive growth rate between 2026 and 2032. The demand for IDPS software/platform is higher due to its Scalability & Flexibility. Software solutions can easily integrate with cloud and hybrid environments, making them the preferred choice for organisations. The service segment is also likely to show moderate growth during the forecast period.  

On-premise, Cloud-based and Hybrid are the primary Deployment Modes for the Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS). The on-premise segment holds the largest market share mainly due to the deployment in Large enterprises, Banking, Governments, and Critical infrastructure. Cloud-based IDPS deployment is the future of this market and is expected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2026 and 2032. Many organisations are replacing On-premise deployment with cloud-native IDPS or managed IDPS-as-a-service. Large enterprises are strategically integrating Hybrid IDPS for managing both on-premises and remote workloads.  

Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS) is heavily used in BFSI, Government, IT and Telecom, Health, Utilities, and Education Institutes. The BFSI (Banking, Financial Services & Insurance) sector generates the largest revenue and is projected to continue strong growth in the upcoming years. As BFSI is one of the heavily regulated sectors globally, continuous monitoring of network traffic, threat detection, and incident response is mandatory, leading to better growth opportunities for IDPS manufacturers. According to FBI’s IC3 report, online scams led to USD 12.5 billion in losses in 2023.  

Cybersecurity for Data centres, cloud platforms, managed services, and enterprise connectivity compels the IT and Telecom sector to deploy Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems. Global IT and Telecom is one of the fastest-growing IDPS adopters and is projected to show strong growth between 2026 and 2032.   

Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS) Market Regional and Competitive Analysis

Regional analysis of the Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS) Market includes North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, South America and Africa regions. In 2025, North America leads the market and holds more than 20% of the global market share. Established Cybersecurity infrastructure, cyber insurance requirements and government initiatives are the primary driving factors for the growth of the North America Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS) Market. GDPR, NIS2, and DORA Regulations make Europe's IDPS Market more lucrative and are estimated to show moderate growth during the forecast period.  

Asia–Pacific is the fastest-growing region with an estimated CAGR of around 14% between 2026 and 2032. The exception demand is contributed to factors like massive Industrial and Healthcare developments, the rise of the Government and BFSI sector, and massive investments in cybersecurity measures. Mobile and IoT penetration in Asia-Pacific, especially in China and India, is the highest in the world and hence propels the growth of the IDPS Market.  

Smart cities and Financial Sector Modernization are among the most advanced developments in the Middle East region. Projects like NEOM in Saudi Arabia, which will develop a futuristic city by 2030, will need the highest level of cybersecurity and hence highlight the need for more advanced IDPS. South America and Africa markets are also likely to grow due to industrialisation and government initiatives.
