The global SOCaaS market size is projected to grow from USD 6.7 billion in 2023 to USD 11.4 billion by 2028 at a CAGR of 11.2% during the forecast period. The market growth in SOCaaS is fueled by factors such as rapid technological advancements, the growing trend of BYOD, CYOD, and WFH, the growing complexity of cyber threats, and complex threat response.

“By application, the cloud security segment will grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.”
The cloud security segment attained the highest CAGR in the SOCaaS market’s application segmentation due to increasing cloud adoption and its distinct security challenges. Cloud security SOCaaS services offer tailored monitoring and threat detection, catering to the complexities of securing cloud data and applications. The urgency to counter cloud-specific threats, comply with regulations, and safeguard assets drives demand. As cloud services become integral, the segment’s specialized capabilities for real-time monitoring and responsive incident management contribute to its significant growth. Thus, the cloud security segment accounts for the largest market size during the forecasted period.

“By organization size, the co-managed segment will grow at the largest market size during the forecast period.”
The co-managed segment achieved the highest CAGR in the SOCaaS market’s offering segmentation due to its adaptable and collaborative cybersecurity management approach. The model addresses the challenge of harmonizing internal security efforts with external expertise. Additionally, the co-managed SOCaaS empowers organizations to control specific security aspects while harnessing external providers’ specialized skills for monitoring, threat detection, and incident response. Furthermore, merging internal knowledge with external support in co-managed SOCaaS delivers a cost-effective and efficient response to evolving cyber threats, propelling its significant growth. Thus, the co-managed offering segment has the highest CAGR during the forecasted period.

“North America is expected to account for the largest market size during the forecasted period.”
During the forecast period, North America leads in regional market share due to key industry players such as Fortinet, Cloudflare, and Proficio, among others, increased cyberattacks, rapid cloud-based technology adoption, and stringent security regulations. This dominance reflects the region’s vulnerability to cyber threats, driving demand for robust solutions like SOCaaS. The rise in cloud-based applications further fuels the need for enhanced cybersecurity, pushing North American enterprises to embrace SOCaaS for vigilant monitoring and protection. The region’s proactive response to compliance requirements solidifies its frontrunner status in the SOCaaS market, catering to various stringent security standards.

“Asia Pacific is anticipated to account for the highest CAGR during the forecasted period.”
The Asia Pacific region, comprising developed economies like China, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, and emerging ones like India and Singapore, is poised for the highest CAGR during the projected period. With robust governmental regulations and technological progress, the SOCaaS market is flourishing in Asia. Additionally, technology adoption, including analytics, cloud computing, and business infrastructure, is rapidly advancing in the region. Moreover, the Asia Pacific region leads in adopting SOCaaS solutions, driven by cybersecurity concerns and the shift to cloud-based solutions in industry verticals such as BFSI, government, IT, and telecom. Security breaches, strict regulations, and the shift toward standardized security solutions further fuel the growth.

The Asia Pacific region experienced a significant surge in cyberattacks, prompting national cybersecurity policy updates and adopting encryption solutions. This escalation in threats has led prominent vendors like IBM and TCS to expand SOCaaS operations in the region to bolster security and business profitability in the face of intensifying cyber risk. Thus, the Asia Pacific region has the highest CAGR during the forecasted period.
