Web Filtering Market by Component, Filtering Type (DNS Filtering, URL Filtering, Keyword Filtering, File Type Filtering, and Others (Image Filtering & Profile Filtering)), Deployment Mode, Organization Size, Vertical, and Region - Global Forecast to 2023
[168 Pages Report] The Web Filtering Market projected to grow from $2.50 Billion in 2017 to reach $5.40 Billion by 2023 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 13.4% during the forecast period. The base year for the market study is 2017 and the forecast period is 2018–2023.
The growing need for enhanced control over employees in enterprises, along with the increasing need to meet stringent compliances, has led enterprises of all size to adopt web filtering solutions for the protection of their critical information. Moreover, the cloud deployment mode is gaining a high traction in the market, as it requires less capital investment, helps organizations decrease their operational and maintenance costs, and reduces companies’ management efforts. Cloud-based web filtering solutions are available according to customers’ demands, wherein customers can start or stop any service at their own will. Web filtering solutions help organizations optimize their employees’ productivity, protect sensitive data, applications, and comply with stringent regulations.
The objective of the study is to define, describe, and forecast the web filtering market on the basis of components, filtering types, deployment modes, organization size, verticals, and regions. It also analyzes recent developments, such as partnerships, strategic alliances, mergers and acquisitions, business expansions, new product developments, and research and development (R&D) in the global market.
The research methodology used to estimate and forecast the web filtering market began with the collection and analysis of data on key vendors’ revenues through secondary sources, such as company websites, press releases, annual reports, TechTarget reports, Cloud Security Alliance reports, SC magazine, and SANS Institute studies. Vendor offerings are taken into consideration to determine the market segmentation. The bottom-up procedure was employed to arrive at the total market size of the global market from the revenues of the key players. After arriving at the overall market size, the total market was split into several segments and subsegments, which were then verified through primary research by conducting extensive interviews with key people, such as Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), Vice Presidents (VPs), directors, and executives. The data triangulation and market breakdown procedures were employed to complete the overall market engineering process, and to arrive at the exact statistics for all the segments and subsegments. The breakdown of the profiles of the primary participants is depicted in the figure below:

Web filtering solutions include various filtering types, such as Domain Name System (DNS) filtering, Uniform Resource Locator (URL) filtering, keyword filtering, file type filtering, and others (image filtering and profile filtering). The DNS filtering type is expected to dominate the web filtering market and is estimated to have the largest market share in 2018. The keyword filtering type would play a key role in changing the market landscape and is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period, as global organizations are highly proactive toward improving their employees’ productivity and protecting sensitive information from cyber threats.
The cloud deployment mode is the faster-growing mode in the web filtering market, as it benefits organizations with increased scalability, speed, 24/7 services, and enhanced management capabilities. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) continue to opt for the cloud deployment, as it helps them avoid costs pertaining to hardware, software, storage, and technical staff.
North America is estimated to hold the largest market size in 2018. The increasing need for organizations to reduce the misuse of the internet and enhance their employees’ productivity, and addressing the incidents of attacks on enterprises’ IT infrastructures are expected to drive the web filtering market. Furthermore, rapid economic growth in the major countries, along with regulatory reforms and economic stability, is expected to drive the market in Asia Pacific (APAC). In Middle East and Africa (MEA), Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) as well as large enterprises belonging to a range of verticals, such as Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI), government, education, and manufacturing, would increase their investments in web filtering solutions and services.
Security vendors are offering web filtering as a feature in secure web gateways, unified threat management, and firewall solutions. The adoption of these solutions is restraining the growth of the web filtering market. As the frequency of security breaches has increased over the past 5 years, organizations have increased their IT security investments to protect against advanced threats. However, for many enterprises, including SMEs, these investment costs are a matter of concern. Furthermore, for a strong and advanced security, the cost of innovation is still high, and thus many organizations view budgetary constraints as a barrier to the adoption of advanced web filtering solutions and services.
