The Global DNS Firewall Market size is expected to reach $506 million by 2030, rising at a market growth of 17.2% CAGR during the forecast period.
The cloud-based solutions provide scalability and adaptability, making them well-suited for the dynamic nature of mobile app usage. Therefore, the Cloud segment would generate approximately 2/5th share of the market by 2030. DNS firewalls protect user data by preventing data exfiltration via malicious DNS queries. In addition, as the mobile app landscape expands, businesses are deploying cloud-native DNS firewall solutions to protect mobile applications. Some of the factors impacting the market are rise in cyber security threats, rising it virtualization and BYOD, and lack of network diversity.
The increase in data security concerns among data-sensitive organizations can be considered a significant growth driver for the market. This expansion is being fueled by increased data security risks within data-sensitive organizations and increased security breach incidents that expose sensitive or confidential data. End-to-end encryption, query resolution, effective defense against distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) assaults via rate-limiting, and defense against unwanted downtime at the hands of cybercriminals are all provided by DNS firewall. Additionally, the adoption of IT sector practices and BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policies profoundly impacts the implementation and usage of DNS firewall solutions. These trends have reshaped how organizations approach network security, DNS traffic management, and protecting their infrastructure and data. Adopting IT sector practices and BYOD policies has made DNS firewall solutions a crucial component of modern network security strategies. As organizations continue to embrace these practices, the demand for DNS firewall solutions is expected to grow to safeguard networks and data from evolving cyber threats. Therefore, these trends contribute to the expansion of the market and as a result, these factors are driving the market growth.
However, DNS firewall maintenance varies between different network components, leading to maintenance complexities. Keeping DNS firewall software and configurations updated across diverse devices can be time-consuming. Ensuring redundancy and high availability for DNS firewall solutions across diverse networks can be challenging. Each network segment requires a tailored redundancy strategy, which can complicate deployment. These factors pose a challenge for the market.
End User Outlook
