CNAPP market to surge to $6 billion by 2028

According to a recently published report from Dell’Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, security, networks, and data center industries, the cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) market is poised for substantial growth, projected to rise from $2 B in 2023 to $6 B in 2028, representing a 25 percent compounded annual growth rate (CAGR). This surge is primarily driven by enterprises playing catch-up in securing their cloud deployments and the emergence of CNAPPs as the go-to solution for securing cloud workloads. CNAPP solutions provide comprehensive features that span the application lifecycle of development, deployment, and runtime.

“The rapid expansion of the CNAPP market underscores the critical need for robust security solutions as enterprises accelerate their cloud adoption,” said Mauricio Sanchez, Sr. Director, Enterprise Security and Networking at Dell’Oro Group. “It’s clear enterprises are recognizing the value of CNAPP solutions, and we see significant opportunities for vendors to innovate and capture market share,” added Sanchez.
