Embedded Security Market Analysis

The Embedded Security Market size is estimated at USD 8.85 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 12.05 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.37% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

The increasing need for embedded security solutions in various applications, such as wearables, smartphones and tablets, automotive, smart identity cards, industrial, payment processing and cards, and computers, is driving the growth of this market. Furthermore, the burgeoning Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend is boosting global demand for embedded security solutions.

  • Embedded security is implemented to safeguard the processing and cardholder data. The usage of embedded security serves to reduce the danger of data breaches, which can result in financial losses and reputational damage. It also aids in meeting the criteria of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Secure elements, Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), and tamper-resistant hardware are examples of embedded security used in payment processing and cards. These embedded security solutions prevent cardholder data from being compromised by attackers, among other things.
  • Technology is advancing faster than ever before. Every day, technology advances and introduces new approaches and functions. It is not just about computers and mobile applications. It is all about artificial intelligence and IoT-based gadgets, widely employed in everyday human life. The rise of IoT is spreading across all industries as it is utilized in various applications, including industrial automation, healthcare equipment, aviation, wearable technologies, smart home units, and automobiles. The growing use of IoT raises the possibility of different security vulnerabilities with connected devices. This also raises the likelihood of external cyber threats attacking running systems, causing the device to malfunction and cause harm. Also, embedded security devices are on the rise to avoid this condition.
  • The market for electric vehicles is constantly evolving and maturing. Customers are aggressively seeking vehicles that do not use traditional fossil fuels. These vehicles should be both cost-effective and environmentally beneficial. Also, to meet these needs, an increasing number of electric charging stations must be established in homes and roadways. The security of charging stations is vital to protect its critical infrastructure. The complicated design and multiple safety concerns in electric vehicles and charging points make managing all security challenges in the system tough. Embedded device security systems help with this problem. Electric vehicle security is critical due to the rising number of embedded and connected software in cars.
  • These systems have gained popularity in recent years. However, the basic cost of a single physical security device plus a communication security device is more than the cost of a traditional security system. Internal components like transmitters, receivers, and sensors utilized in security systems are more expensive, directly impacting the system's primary selling price. Furthermore, renewing existing security systems and adopting new integrated technology is not cost-viable for SME enterprises and individual users.
  • However, the software itself cannot ensure the security of embedded systems, no matter how sophisticated and security aware. Cloud, software, and hardware vendors must collaborate. For instance, on-chip security features allow robust key management and encryption, which is too computationally demanding for embedded software alone, and hardware technologies secure device boot integrity. Functions like path space control, rootless execution, encrypted file systems, access control rules, and threat-level anomaly detection are made feasible by hardware capabilities and installed in the operating system.

Embedded Security Industry Overview

The embedded security market is highly fragmented, and major players have used various strategies, such as new product launches, expansions, agreements, partnerships, and acquisitions, to increase their footprints in this market. Such developments result in an intense rivalry in the market. Key players include Infineon Technologies AG and STMicroelectronics NV. 

In March 2024, Monta Vista Software LLC, a company offering commercial embedded Linux solutions, announced the release of CG X 5.0. This significant 15th iteration of the carrier-grade Linux product line highlights Monta Vista's dedication to secure dependable and creative embedded systems development by introducing a number of advanced security improvements and updates.

In February 2024, LDRA, the leading inventor in embedded systems and technology, announced the much-anticipated return of the embedded safety and security summit (ESSS) as a physical event across India during the month of July 2024.
