Enterprise Firewall Global Market Report 2025

An enterprise firewall serves as a specialized network security device or software solution crafted to control and monitor an organization's incoming and outgoing network traffic. Its primary function is to act as a protective barrier between a trusted internal network and untrusted external networks, such as the Internet, aiming to prevent unauthorized access, data breaches, and cyberattacks.

The principal solutions for enterprise firewalls encompass hardware, software, and services. Software, in this context, constitutes a collection of instructions, programs, or data that guide a computer or electronic device in performing specific tasks or operations. The software within an enterprise firewall enables advanced security features, including packet filtering, intrusion prevention, VPN support, and application-level inspection. These firewalls can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud, catering to organizations of various sizes, including small and medium organizations, and large enterprises. End-users across diverse sectors, including healthcare, manufacturing, government, retail, education, financial services, media, communications, among others, make use of these enterprise firewalls.

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 sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the information technology sector, especially in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Increased duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have driven up production and operating costs for tech companies, cloud service providers, and data centers. Firms that depend on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are grappling with extended lead times and mounting pricing pressures. At the same time, tariffs on specialized software and retaliatory actions by key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and dampened foreign demand for U.S.-made technologies. In response, the sector is ramping up investments in domestic chip production, broadening its supplier network, and leveraging AI-powered automation to improve resilience and manage costs more effectively.

The enterprise firewall market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides enterprise firewall market statistics, including enterprise firewall industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with an enterprise firewall market share, detailed enterprise firewall market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the enterprise firewall industry. This enterprise firewall 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 enterprise firewall market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $13.15 billion in 2024 to $14.29 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing cyber threats, rising adoption of internet-connected devices, growth in e-commerce activities, expanding enterprise networks, and regulatory compliance requirements.

The enterprise firewall market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $23.22 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to cloud migration trends, rising demand for remote work solutions, increasing use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, stringent data protection regulations, and growing emphasis on network security. Major trends in the forecast period include the adoption of artificial intelligence in cybersecurity, integration of zero-trust security models, emphasis on user-centric security approaches, increased focus on threat intelligence sharing, and development of next-generation firewall solutions.

The forecast of 12.9% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.2% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariffs on foreign-built firewall appliances and software updates may delay security patching cycles in the U.S., increasing exposure to cyber threats. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The enterprise firewall market is poised for growth, driven by the increasing frequency of cyberattacks. Cyberattacks, which involve attempts to compromise computers, computing systems, or networks, pose significant threats to organizations. Implementing enterprise firewalls in diverse enterprises serves as a robust defense mechanism, significantly mitigating the risk of cyberattacks. This safeguarding of critical assets and sensitive information ensures uninterrupted business operations. For example, in the first quarter of 2022, the Anti-Phishing Working Group recorded a total of 1,025,968 phishing attacks, marking a 15% increase from the previous quarter. The upward trend in cyberattacks is a key factor propelling the growth of the enterprise firewall market.

Rising cloud adoption is expected to drive the growth of the enterprise firewall market in the coming years. Cloud adoption refers to the increasing integration and use of cloud computing services by individuals, organizations, or industries to store, manage, and access data and applications remotely. Many organizations operate within hybrid or multi-cloud environments, utilizing a mix of on-premises, private cloud, and public cloud services. Ensuring security across these varied environments is complex yet essential. Enterprise firewalls are designed to deliver consistent security policies and threat prevention across different deployment models, providing a unified approach to safeguard data and applications, regardless of their hosting location. For example, in December 2023, the European Commission, a Belgium-based government administration, reported that the percentage of companies using cloud computing services increased by 4.2 percentage points in 2023 compared to 2021. Therefore, the rise in cloud adoption is driving the growth of the enterprise firewall market.

Technological advancements represent a prominent trend in the enterprise firewall market, with major companies introducing cloud-based firewalls to maintain their market positions. Juniper Networks Inc., a US-based networking products developer, introduced Juniper Secure Edge in February 2022. This cloud-delivered security solution facilitates Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS) through a single-stack software architecture. It offers unified policy management for all security use cases with dynamic zero-trust segmentation, investment protection, and validated security effectiveness, providing enterprises with enhanced security for their distributed workforces.

Innovation in product development, particularly the introduction of new firewall platforms, is a focus for major companies operating in the enterprise firewall market. Palo Alto Networks, a US-based cybersecurity company, launched five new firewall platforms in November 2023 - PA-7500, PA-415-5G, PA-800 Series, PA-5200 Series, and PA-220. These platforms feature industry-leading performance, flexibility, scalability, innovative machine learning-powered protection, and use-case-specific designs. This launch addresses the diverse needs of modern enterprises, offering high-performance, adaptive, and robust security solutions to effectively address the evolving cybersecurity landscape.

In March 2023, Cisco Systems Inc., a US-based digital communications technology company, acquired Valtix Inc. to accelerate the launch of the Cisco security cloud and expand its engineering and product portfolio. Valtix Inc., a US-based company, specializes in providing advanced cloud network security and enterprise firewall services. This strategic acquisition enhances Cisco's capabilities in delivering comprehensive security solutions.
