세계의 이메일 보안 시장 예측(-2032년) : 제품별, 이메일 플랫폼별, 위협별, 전개 형태별, 용도별, 지역별 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Email Security Market is accounted for $5.1 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $12.1 billion by 2032 growing at a CAGR of 12.9% during the forecast period. Email security encompasses a range of technologies, practices, and protocols aimed at protecting email communications from cyber threats and unauthorized access. It ensures the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive data transmitted via email. Key measures include encryption, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and protocols like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC to authenticate senders and detect threats. Organizations also use secure gateways and anti-spam filters to block phishing, malware, and ransomware attacks. As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, robust email security has become essential to preventing data breaches and maintaining trust in digital communications.

According to the 2023 electronic mail security report from Barracuda Networks, 26% of organizations have increased their budgets for electronic mail security spending to prevent and respond to threats as email attacks become more sophisticated and harder to detect.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks

The rising frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks are major factors driving the demand for robust email security solutions. With phishing, business email compromise (BEC), and ransomware attacks becoming more targeted and complex, organizations are compelled to prioritize advanced security tools. Modern attackers use social engineering and AI-powered tactics, making traditional filters insufficient for threat mitigation. This heightened risk environment is accelerating adoption across sectors such as finance, healthcare, and government.

Restraint:

Complexity in integrating Email Security solutions with existing IT infrastructure

Legacy infrastructure, inconsistent email configurations, and varying compliance requirements can complicate the deployment of modern security tools. Incompatibility with on-premises and cloud-based systems may result in operational inefficiencies and potential coverage gaps. Moreover, smaller enterprises often lack the technical expertise or resources to implement and manage these systems effectively. This complexity can slow down adoption and create vulnerabilities in otherwise secure networks.

Opportunity:

Growing adoption of cloud-based email services

The growing adoption of cloud-based email services, such as Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, is opening new opportunities for scalable email security solutions. As organizations transition to cloud platforms to enhance collaboration and reduce IT overhead, they are increasingly seeking security tools that seamlessly integrate with these environments. Cloud-native security solutions offer real-time threat detection, centralized management, and flexible deployment options, making them ideal for hybrid and remote work models.

Threat:

Evolving threat landscape

Cybercriminals are leveraging emerging technologies like AI and machine learning to bypass traditional security mechanisms and create highly convincing phishing campaigns. The constant development of new malware strains and attack methodologies keeps security providers in a reactive mode, increasing the risk of zero-day vulnerabilities. Moreover, the proliferation of encrypted traffic can hinder inspection and analysis, allowing threats to pass undetected impeding the market growth.

Covid-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly reshaped the email security market landscape. The abrupt shift to remote work exposed organizations to increased cyber vulnerabilities, particularly through personal devices and unsecured home networks. Email became an even more critical communication tool, and cybercriminals capitalized on the uncertainty by launching COVID-themed phishing attacks and scams. This surge in threat activity prompted many businesses to accelerate the implementation of advanced email security solutions.

The email gateways segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The email gateways segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period due to its foundational role in filtering inbound and outbound emails. These gateways serve as the first line of defense, blocking spam, malware, and phishing attacks before they reach the end-user. As threats become more advanced, email gateways are increasingly equipped with AI and threat intelligence capabilities to improve detection accuracy.

The spoofing segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Over the forecast period, the spoofing segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate driven by the surge in identity-based email threats. Email spoofing, where attackers forge sender addresses to appear legitimate, is a prevalent tactic in phishing and business email compromise schemes. The increasing use of such tactics has created demand for advanced authentication frameworks like DMARC, SPF, and DKIM. Organizations are also deploying anomaly detection tools that flag irregular email behavior in real-time boosting the market.

Region with largest share:

During the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is expected to hold the largest market share growing enterprise sector, and rising cyberattack incidences. Countries like China, India, Japan, and South Korea are experiencing a surge in internet usage and business digitization, making them prime targets for email-based threats. Additionally, regulatory developments around data privacy and security are compelling businesses to upgrade their email protection strategies. The expanding IT infrastructure and strong economic growth in the region further support market expansion.

Region with highest CAGR:

Over the forecast period, the North America region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR due to the region's advanced cybersecurity ecosystem and high adoption of cloud-based technologies. The United States and Canada have been early adopters of email security solutions, driven by strict regulatory standards such as HIPAA, GDPR, and CCPA. The presence of leading cybersecurity vendors and innovation hubs in the region facilitates rapid deployment and continuous improvements of these technologies continue to propel market growth in this region.
