Dublin, April 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “5G Security Market Report 2026” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The 5G security market is poised for substantial growth, with the market size expected to expand from $3.92 billion in 2025 to $5.62 billion in 2026, reflecting a CAGR of 43.2%. Key factors driving this upsurge include the rollout of commercial 5G networks, surging mobile data traffic, escalating cybersecurity threats in telecom networks, early adoption of network virtualization technologies, and increased investments in telecom infrastructure. By 2030, the market size is anticipated to soar to $23.1 billion, at a CAGR of 42.4%. This growth is driven by private 5G network adoption, demand for secure IoT connectivity, expansion of smart city projects, and a growing regulatory focus on telecom security.
Major trends expected during the forecast period include increased deployment of network slicing security solutions, adoption of zero-trust 5G architectures, integration of AI-based threat detection, expansion of cloud-native security platforms, and enhanced focus on subscriber identity protection. The rise in cyber-attacks is a significant driver of the 5G security market. For instance, the UK reported approximately 2.39 million cybercrime cases in 2022/23, highlighting the urgent need for advanced 5G security solutions.
Leading companies in the 5G security landscape are prioritizing the development of advanced cybersecurity solutions to secure competitive advantages. In February 2023, Atos introduced 5Guard, designed to deliver superior security for entities deploying private 5G networks. This solution aims to meet the growing demand for robust 5G security solutions. Similarly, in July 2024, Accenture plc acquired Fibermind Srl to enhance its 5G network services, bolstering its fiber optic solutions to ensure secure data transmission.
Key players in the 5G security market include Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson, Cisco Systems Inc., Palo Alto Networks Inc., Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., Nokia Networks, and others. North America emerged as the largest region in 2025, with regions like Asia-Pacific, Western and Eastern Europe, and others showing promising growth.
Tariffs have impacted the 5G security market by raising the cost of imported network hardware and security appliances, thereby affecting deployment costs and slowing security upgrades. However, this situation has also encouraged domestic production of security solutions and regional vendor ecosystems, promoting investment in sovereign telecom security infrastructure.
