Rapid Growth Expected in the Industrial Control Systems Security Market Until 2030

[Ahmet Ö.]

### Industrial Control Systems Security Market Growing Rapidly

The industrial control systems (ICS) security market, valued at $18.35 billion in 2025, is projected to reach $20.17 billion in 2026, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9%. This growth is expected to continue at a rate of 9.7% until 2030, reaching $29.21 billion.

### Factors Behind the Growth

The increasing connectivity of industrial control systems, the proliferation of cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure, the widespread adoption of remote access applications in industrial operations, the modernization of existing SCADA systems, and increased regulatory oversight are driving market growth.

### Cyberattacks on Critical Infrastructure

Critical infrastructure includes energy grids, water systems, communication networks, transportation systems, and financial and public institutions. To ensure the security of these infrastructures, organizations need to employ advanced cybersecurity solutions. For example, in October 2024, cyberattacks in the US increased by 56%, with the average weekly number of attacks rising to 1,300. This trend is increasing demand for ICS security solutions.

### Innovative Security Solutions

Leading market players are offering AI-powered and automated platforms to meet evolving security needs. For instance, Singapore-based MicroSec launched "CyberAssessor for OT/ICS" in September 2024, an automated cybersecurity assessment tool compliant with the ISA/IEC 62443 standard, capable of monitoring devices across multiple facilities.

### Key Players and Transaction Examples

In September 2025, Mitsubishi Electric acquired US-based Nozomi Networks for $883 million, integrating an AI-powered security platform in the OT/IoT/CPS domain. Many major companies such as ABB, Honeywell, Cisco, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, and Kaspersky are actively offering solutions in the market.
