One of the major elements driving rise of the 5G security market size is improved network slicing and significant security expansion over 4G and LTE. Fifth-generation technology provides high-security capabilities that prioritize organizational and individual data privacy. Because of these advancements, the attacker is unable to decipher the information or pose any harm. Furthermore, the data is routed through virtual hubs and switches, making it easily accessible. As a result, the increasing usage of 5G security is likely to drive market development.

During the forecast period, the COVID-19 had a negative impact on the growth of the 5G security industry. The ongoing outbreak has also forced telecom regulatory officials to delay their plans for the 5G spectrum auction, which has hampered industry growth. However, significant gains in performance across applications such as cloud-based resources, network slicing, virtualization, and other future technologies are just a few of the benefits that 5G security provides. Such benefits are expected to create growth opportunities for the market during the coming years.
