Public Safety and Security Market Overview

The global public safety and security market was valued at USD 516.68 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 1,124.77 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 14.3% from 2025 to 2030. Key factors driving market growth include increasing concerns about data security, a rise in unauthorized surveillance incidents, the adoption of advanced technologies, and the growing emphasis by governments and organizations on developing strong security networks.

Rising safety and security demands for critical infrastructure—including transportation, utilities, communication, food and agriculture, and energy—are further contributing to market expansion. The growing accessibility of advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and Machine Learning (ML) has significantly transformed market dynamics.

For example, in November 2024, Meta announced that its Large Language Model Meta AI (LLaMA) would be made available to U.S. government agencies and contractors, marking a significant step in the integration of AI into public safety operations.

Government and corporate initiatives aimed at strengthening collaboration in public safety continue to create new growth opportunities. In August 2024, member states of the United Nations finalized a draft convention against cybercrime to promote international cooperation in combating cyber offenses.
