Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) protection hardware equipment refers to physical devices designed to detect, mitigate, and prevent DDoS attacks. These devices filter malicious traffic, ensure network availability, and maintain service performance during attacks. Typically deployed at the network perimeter, they provide real-time threat response, aiming to protect critical infrastructure from downtime and data loss.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The main types of DDoS protection hardware equipment include standalone DDoS appliances and integrated DDoS protection appliances. Standalone DDoS appliances are specialized hardware devices that detect and mitigate DDoS attacks within a network. These devices are used for various applications, such as network protection, application protection, and endpoint protection, and serve a broad range of end-users, including banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI), retail and e-commerce, healthcare, media and entertainment, and other sectors.

This DDoS protection hardware equipment market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The DDoS protection hardware equipment market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from$1.18 billion in 2024 to $1.32 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.0%. The growth observed in the historic period can be attributed to several factors, including the growing emphasis on cybersecurity, an increase in cyber threats, a rise in multi-vector DDoS attacks, and the rapid digitalization of businesses.
The DDoS protection hardware equipment market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to$2.05 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7%. The growth projected for the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including the rise in AI-driven security solutions, growing demand for managed security services, the expansion of online services, and increased reliance on cloud computing. Key trends expected in the forecast period include strategic partnerships in innovation, innovative DDoS mitigation solutions in telecom and finance, advancements in security methods, and increased investment in cybersecurity resilience.
The rising frequency and complexity of cyber threats are expected to drive the growth of the DDoS protection hardware equipment market in the coming years. Cyber threats refer to malicious activities or attacks aimed at compromising the integrity, confidentiality, or availability of computer systems, networks, and data. The frequency of these threats is increasing due to ongoing digital transformation, which expands the attack surface by connecting more devices and systems, thereby providing cybercriminals with more opportunities to exploit vulnerabilities. DDoS protection hardware plays a critical role in mitigating these threats by detecting and filtering malicious traffic, preventing distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks from overwhelming networks, and ensuring the availability of services. For example, in April 2023, the Department for Science, Innovation, and Technology, a UK-based government body, reported that over the past year, 11% of businesses and 8% of charities experienced cybercrime, with the impact growing notably among medium-sized businesses (26%), large businesses (37%), and high-income charities (25%). Therefore, the increasing complexity and frequency of cyber threats are driving the growth of the DDoS protection hardware equipment market.
Key players in the DDoS protection hardware equipment market are focusing on developing advanced solutions, such as network threat detectors, to improve the detection and mitigation of DDoS attacks in real-time. A network threat detector is a security tool designed to monitor network traffic continuously, identifying potential security threats. For instance, in October 2024, Corero Network Security, a UK-based security systems services company, launched the Network Threat Detector (NTD) 3400, a scalable 400G DDoS protection appliance. This device offers enhanced connectivity and reduced power consumption compared to previous models. It also simplifies network infrastructure and provides flexible deployment options to meet future bandwidth demands. Additionally, Corero introduced a Trade-In Program that offers significant discounts to customers upgrading from older or competing systems, facilitating the transition to next-generation DDoS protection solutions.
In September 2023, Akamai Technology Inc., a U.S.-based cloud computing company, partnered with Corero Network Security Plc. to offer advanced DDoS defense solutions. This partnership aims to provide hybrid DDoS protection by combining both on-premises and cloud-based solutions to address evolving cyber threats. Corero Network Security Plc, a UK-based company, specializes in real-time, automatic DDoS protection solutions.
