The rising demand for micro-segmentation solutions in the cybersecurity industry stems from escalating cyber threats and attacks. Leveraging cutting-edge technology, such as network and application micro-segmentation, companies bolster security measures against data breaches and lateral network migration. However, challenges persist in deployment complexity and the shortage of qualified personnel. Driving forces like cloud computing and virtualization contribute to market growth, addressing modern cybersecurity issues like ransomware attacks and insider threats. Managed services play a vital role in supporting organizations' security posture, yet innovation potential remains high as companies strive to combat evolving cyber threats and regulatory compliance requirements.
The increase in the adoption of cloud-based platforms is notably driving the market. At present, enterprises are migrating from on-premises platforms to cloud platforms to enhance the capabilities of their applications and services and to save the cost of in-house infrastructure and maintenance. Specifically, SMEs are increasingly adopting cloud-based platforms. For instance, in March 2021, Orange SA was selected by GEANT, the pan-European data network for the research and education community, as one of its preferred partners in its Open Clouds for Research Environments (OCRE) project.
Additionally, OCRE is designed to provide academic and research institutions with all the benefits of the cloud, including enhanced security, flexibility, and improved efficiency and collaboration, for their projects. These factors will drive the market during the forecast period.
An increase in fundraising through crowdfunding platforms is an emerging trend shaping the market. Micro-segmentation plays a crucial role in enhancing the security of network-connected devices and systems. The rising number of data centers and the high adoption of cloud services are compelling vendors to expand their product offerings, increasing investments in the development of micro-segmentation solutions. The vendors in the market are increasingly raising funds to expand product offerings and develop high-performance micro-segmentation solutions.
For instance, in September 2020, Axis Security raised USD 32 million in Series B funding led by Canaan Partners, with participation from existing investors Ten Eleven Ventures and Cyber Starts, for a total of USD 49 million over three rounds. It is expected that fundraising through crowdfunding platforms will support the development and commercialization of micro-segmentation solutions incorporated with innovative features. This is expected to support the market during the forecast period.
Interoperability issues associated with micro-segmentation solutions are a significant challenge hindering the market. Interoperability is the ability of a system where several micro-segmentation solutions interact with multiple IT platforms and devices to provide advanced network security solutions. To enhance the security of a network, there must be interoperability between systems and security controls. The IT environment in organizations is diverse. Organizations deploy micro-segmentation solutions in mixed workload environments. For high security, the integration of physical networks and security devices is important.
Moreover, the occurrence of interoperability issues in a system makes it vulnerable, which may lead to security breaches in an organization. To avoid the issue of interoperability, vendors need to provide regular upgrades in the form of patches for micro-segmentation solutions and stay compliant with the evolving regulations. Sometimes, upgrades and software patches also lead to integration issues. Thus, the interoperability issues associated with micro-segmentation solutions are expected to limit the market during the forecast period.
Micro-segmentation solutions offer a groundbreaking approach to enhancing security within the cybersecurity industry by dividing networks into smaller, more manageable segments. These solutions utilize cutting-edge technology to protect against various cyber threats and attacks, safeguarding sensitive data and mitigating risks associated with network security. By implementing micro-segmentation, companies can establish access controls and application segmentation, preventing unauthorized access and lateral movement within the network. With the rise of remote working environments and increasing concerns about data protection, the demand for micro-segmentation solutions has surged. These solutions provide innovation potential in addressing modern cyber security issues, such as data breaches and ransomware attacks, while also ensuring regulatory compliance posture. As organizations digitize and expand their data centre capacity, the need for advanced security solutions like micro-segmentation becomes paramount. Moreover, the proliferation of IoT devices and social media platforms heightens the importance of securing network infrastructure against evolving cybercrimes.
The market share growth by the services segment will be significant during the forecast period. This segment comprises managed and professional micro-segmentation services. It also covers services such as training and development, integration, consultation, advisory solutions, support, and managed security services. To provide and maintain the security controls of systems, the major vendors in the market are offering micro-segmentation services.

The services segment was the largest and was valued at USD 870.00 million in 2018. Further, managed security services play a crucial role in addressing the needs of the administration of multiple environments and workloads. They also address the support of different service-level agreements (SLAs) aligned with a business. Hence, enterprises that are adopting advanced technologies, such as the IoT and AI, through the process of digital transformation are turning toward managed security services to enhance the security of their systems. Thus, the BFSI, e-commerce, telecommunication, and government sectors are heavily investing in managed security services. All such factors will drive the growth of the services segment, which in turn will propel the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Large enterprises run on a large scale, often across multiple locations, divisions, and business segments. The scale and complexity of these organizations' networks make them vulnerable to sophisticated cyber attacks that can take advantage of vulnerabilities across multiple touchpoints. Micro-segmentation is designed to address the complex needs of large enterprise networks by offering granular visibility over access and traffic. Micro-segmentation solutions provide a strong defense, ensuring industry compliance and protecting critical assets from unauthorized access or data breaches. These factors under the large enterprises segment will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
