Discover How AI-powered Behavioral Analytics and Encrypted Traffic Inspection Are Reshaping Network Security Through 2029

Unlock the $7.39 Billion NDR Opportunity: Close the Visibility Gap on Lateral Movement and Hidden Threats

The shift to cloud-native applications and distributed workforces has created blind spots that attackers exploit. Relying solely on endpoint security and perimeter defenses leaves you vulnerable to sophisticated techniques like lateral movement and encrypted command-and-control traffic. Modern NDR solutions provide the essential layer of visibility inside your network, using advanced behavioural analytics and AI to uncover what other tools miss.

Frost & Sullivan’s Global NDR Growth Opportunities study provides a strategic exploration of how AI-driven threat detection, integration with Extended Detection and Response (XDR), and automated response are becoming fundamental to a proactive cybersecurity posture.

Key Industry Highlights

Explosive Market Growth: From $2.62 billion in 2024 to $7.39 billion by 2029, expanding at a 23.1% CAGR.

Regional Dynamics: North America leads the market, while LATAM is set for the fastest growth at a 27.3% CAGR.

Critical Vertical: The healthcare/medical sector is projected to be the fastest-growing vertical, with a 28.3% CAGR, driven by Internet of Things (IoT) medical devices and strict regulations.

Strategic Imperatives to Address

Disruptive Technologies

Integrate AI and machine learning across the NDR lifecycle to enhance real-time threat detection, automate investigations, and empower security teams with co-pilot assistants, moving beyond backend analytics to front-end efficiency.

Industry Convergence

Develop and position NDR solutions to seamlessly integrate with broader security platforms like XDR, SIEM (Security Information and Event Management), and SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response), providing consolidated visibility and reducing tool sprawl as the market consolidates.

Competitive Intensity

Differentiate in a crowded market by focusing on deep traffic inspection, encrypted traffic analysis, and automated response capabilities, as start-ups and adjacent vendors increase competition.

Top Growth Opportunities

  • Lead the Development of AI-enabled NDR Use Cases 
    Move beyond basic detection to create generative AI co-pilots for investigations, automated reporting, and guided threat hunting. This addresses alert fatigue and skills gaps, delivering tangible ROI and streamlining security operations.
  • Expansion into the LATAM Market
    Capture first-mover advantage in this underserved, high-growth region. Partner with local managed security service providers (MSSPs) and resellers to address the rising tide of phishing and ransomware attacks and evolving data protection regulations.
  • Strategic NDR Marketing Campaigns 
    Overcome market confusion by clearly articulating NDR's unique value proposition against EDR and XDR. Develop outcome-driven messaging that connects NDR investment to business resilience, cost efficiency, and measurable risk reduction.

Why This Analysis Matters

  • A data-driven framework to understand NDR market forces, pricing, and competitive dynamics.
  • Forecast insights for budgeting, vendor selection, and strategic planning across regions and verticals.
  • Actionable growth levers to reduce risk, enhance compliance, and build a more resilient security posture.
  • In-depth analysis of how AI and platform consolidation are reshaping the future of network security.
