The global application gateway market size was US$ 1.91 billion in 2021. The global application gateway market size is forecast to reach US$ 4.4 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2030.

An application gateway is a security component that supplements a NAT or firewall on a computer network. The application layer gateway is also known as application gateway, application proxy, or application-level proxy. It permits the insertion of custom NAT traversal filters into the gateway, providing address and port translation for particular control/data protocols, such as FTP, BitTorrent, SIP, RTSP, and file transfer from instant messaging apps. In order for these protocols to work over NAT or a firewall, the application must be aware of the address/port combination that enables incoming packets, or the NAT must monitor control traffic and dynamically open ports accordingly.

Factors Influencing Market Growth

There is a growing number of application-layer attacks fueling the growth of the global application gateway market.
The rising demand for secure networks positively impacts the global market's growth.
The lack of mandatory information security regulations and technical expertise may slow down the global market growth.
During the forecast period, the rise in the adoption of the Internet of things, artificial intelligence, and software-defined networks will offer lucrative opportunities for market expansion.
Impact Analysis of COVID-19

Due to an increase in investments in emerging technologies like AI and machine learning, the application gateway industry has seen steady growth during the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, during the COVID-19 conference, many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) implemented application gateways to secure their applications with the latest cybersecurity technology and infrastructure. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, digital transformation has become a necessity for organizations, driving the adoption of a hybrid work model that leverages the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing. Furthermore, the sudden rise in IoT devices during the pandemic boosted the demand for app gateways.

Regional Insights

North America dominated the application gateway market in 2020 and will likely retain its position throughout the forecast period. There are an increasing number of cyber-attacks and a need for data security for both small and medium-sized businesses. North America's market leads due to the early adoption of technology and the increasing need for effective management of IT risks and compliance monitoring.
