Europe Industrial Control System (ICS) Security Market

The industrial control system (ICS) security market in Europe is projected to grow from USD 3.04 billion in 2025 to USD 6.40 billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.0% during the forecast period.

Growth of hydrogen plants, electrolyzers, and large-scale battery storage facilities across the EU is introducing new distributed OT assets and safety-critical control systems. These environments rely on remote monitoring and automated control, which increases cyber exposure. For instance, green hydrogen hubs linked to renewable power grids require secure control of electrolyzers and energy management systems, increasing the need for advanced ICS security to manage operational risk and cross-border energy integration.

What is Industrial Control System (ICS) Security?

According to MarketsandMarkets, “ICS security refers to the protection of industrial control systems that manage critical infrastructure like power plants, manufacturing lines, and water systems. It involves safeguarding hardware, software, and network components from cyber threats. The goal is to ensure operational continuity, safety, and data integrity. ICS security combines traditional IT practices with OT-specific protection. It also addresses unique challenges like legacy systems, limited downtime, and real-time operational requirements”.

Competitive overview:

The Europe industrial control system (ICS) security market is led by some of the globally established players, such asFortinet (US), Nozomi Networks (US), Dragos (US), Palo Alto Networks (US), Check Point (Israel), Kaspersky (Russia), ABB (Switzerland), Siemens (Germany), Schneider Electric (France), Tenable (US), Claroty (US), WithSecure (Finland), Stormshield (France), Rohde & Schwarz (Germany), and WALLIX (France).
