Embedded Security Market Size, Share, Opportunities, COVID-19 Impact, And Trends By Application (Programming, Home And Industrial Au-tomation, Authentication, Payment Processing, Others), By End-User Industry (Manufacturing, Consumer Electronics, Au-tomotive, Information Communication And Technology, Healthcare, Others), And By Geography - Forecasts From 2021 To 2026

The global embedded security market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 6.84% over the forecast period to reach a market size of US$5.633 billion in 2026 from US$3.787 billion in 2020. 

Embedded security is one of the common approaches that is used to protect software running on embedded systems from attack. Growing IoT applications is increasing the demand for IoT security and with the inclusion of payment functionality in wearables the embedded security market is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. Embedded security is considered an important component in advanced systems to prevent cyber-attack. Integration of embedded security in electric vehicles coupled with the growing adoption of smart city technologies is expected to be one of the drivers for the growth of the market in the coming years.

In addition, even today major IoT industry leaders believe that security concerns are one of the major barriers towards the adoption of IoT in various parts of the world and underlining the complexity that the major companies face in protecting their IoT deployments and data, as well as their existing communications networks embedded security solution is considered as one-stop for all end users.

Besides, the automotive cybersecurity market is gaining traction around the globe, and with the increasing number of connected cars, the industry is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period. Also, the arrival of strict regulation that mandates vehicle data protection is expected to create new opportunities for manufacturers and service providers in the coming years. For instance, the Security and Privacy in Your (SPY) Car Act, legislation proposed in the US in 2015, aims to mandate that critical software systems in automotive vehicles are considered as a way to safeguard vehicles from hacking by using cybersecurity measures. In addition to the government measures, the act, which is being developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) also regulates the information collected, transmitted, or shared by the vehicle by sharing the same with its owner thereby increasing the protection/security.
