A new report on the cyber-physical systems (CPS) security market with a global forecast to 2030 from Marketsandmarkets, predicts that this sector is set to grow from USD 16.07 billion in 2025 to USD 34.44 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 16.5% during the forecast period.
As cyber-physical attacks grow more frequent and disruptive, organisations are increasingly shifting toward process-level CPS security that monitors control logic, sensor behaviour, and physical operations rather than relying only on network defences. At the same time, the rapid expansion of remote access and cloud-connected OT environments is accelerating the adoption of zero-trust CPS security models that enable secure access to critical systems.
In parallel, CPS security platforms are becoming more OT-aware, using industrial protocol analytics and equipment-behavior monitoring to detect cyber-physical attacks that traditional IT security tools cannot identify. Together, these trends are pushing enterprises to modernise their CPS security architectures to ensure continuous protection, safe operations, and regulatory compliance across highly connected industrial and critical infrastructure environments.
The transportation and vehicle security segment is being driven by the rapid adoption of connected, autonomous, and software-defined vehicles, along with the expansion of smart transportation infrastructure. Rising risks related to vehicle hacking, fleet disruption, traffic system attacks, and failures in critical mobility infrastructure are accelerating investments in CPS security solutions.
The integration of sensors, AI-based threat analytics, real-time monitoring, and secure communication platforms enables predictive maintenance, collision prevention, fleet security, and cyber-resilient transportation operations. These capabilities are driving strong CPS security adoption across automotive, rail, aviation, ports, and smart mobility ecosystems.
The healthcare vertical is being transformed by the rapid digitalisation of medical devices, hospital automation systems, and clinical workflows. The growing deployment of connected medical equipment, remote patient monitoring, robotic surgery, and smart hospital infrastructure is increasing exposure to cyber-physical threats that can directly impact patient safety.
CPS security platforms help healthcare providers secure connected devices, protect clinical systems from cyber attacks, ensure data integrity, and maintain regulatory compliance while enabling reliable real-time operations. The rising need to prevent device tampering, ransomware, and system outages is making CPS security a critical investment for modern healthcare organisations.
North America benefits from early adoption of industrial cyber security, advanced automation, and smart infrastructure technologies. Stringent cyber security, safety, and critical infrastructure protection regulations across transportation, healthcare, energy, and manufacturing are driving large-scale deployment of CPS security solutions. The region benefits from the presence of leading CPS security vendors, strong OT security R&D ecosystems, and high investment in critical infrastructure resilience. Increasing threats from ransomware, industrial espionage, and cyber-physical sabotage are further strengthening the demand for integrated CPS security platforms across North America.
