Web Application Firewall Market by Solution (Hardware Appliances, Virtual Appliances, Cloud-Based), Service (Professional and Managed), Organization Size (SMEs and Large Enterprises), Industry Vertical, and Region – Global Forecast to 2022

The Web Application Firewall Market is expected to be gaining traction, due to the rising instances of web attacks, covering cyber thefts, espionage, vandalism, and fraudulent mechanism; government regulations and need for compliance; and the increasing penetration of Internet of Things (IoT) across various end-user applications. The technological proliferation and penetration of iOS and Android-based smartphones are some of the other factors, which are likely to contribute to the growth of the WAF market. MarketsandMarkets forecasts the WAF market size to grow from USD 2.37 Billion in 2017 to USD 5.48 Billion by 2022, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 18.3%.

The Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) segment is expected to be the fastest-growing organization size in the WAFmarket during the forecast period.

The WAF market for the SMEs segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR, owing to the increasing incidences of cyber-attacks on these enterprises and the deployment of advanced security solutions after elimination of the traditional ones. SMEs are small in terms of their size, but they cater to large numbers of customers globally. Robust and comprehensive security solutions are not implemented in SMEs due to financial constraints. Weak cybersecurity and budget constraints make SMEs more susceptible to advanced cyber-attacks, such as ransomware, botnets, and zero-day attacks.

The hardware appliances segment is expected to hold the largest market share in the WAF market during the forecast period.

Physical WAF solutions are configured on the local network to protect against threats at the periphery of the network. These WAF solutions are easy to install and are suitable for high volume sites, which require high throughput. They work as a remote network component, and hence, can be managed better. They can be easily moved and reconfigured with minimal interference in the network infrastructure. The physical WAF solutions vary depending on the network infrastructure of the enterprise. The physical WAF solutions map the virtual cloud resources to physical ones and control the flow of data to and from the networks.

There are several established players in the WAF market, such as Imperva Inc. (US), Akamai Technologies, Inc. (US), Barracuda Networks, Inc. (US), Citrix Systems, Inc. (US), Cloudflare, Inc.
