Extended Detection and Response (XDR) Market

The global Extended Detection and Response (XDR) market size is projected to grow from USD 7.92 billion in 2025 to USD 30.86 billion by 2030 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 31.2% during the forecast period. The shift to cloud-native XDR is a key factor driving market growth, as organizations increasingly seek scalable and cost-efficient solutions to address expanding cyber threats. Cloud-native delivery eliminates the need for heavy on-premise infrastructure, enabling faster deployment, more effortless scalability, and seamless updates. It also supports remote SOC operations and smooth integration across multi-cloud environments, which is critical as hybrid and distributed workforces expand. This flexibility makes cloud-native XDR highly attractive to both large enterprises and SMBs, fueling adoption and strengthening its role as a major growth driver in the market.

What Is Extended Detection and Response (XDR)?

Extended Detection and Response (XDR) is a unified cybersecurity solution that integrates multiple security components, such as endpoint, network, cloud, email, and identity protection, into a single platform to provide centralized visibility, advanced threat detection, automated response, and streamlined investigation. Unlike siloed security tools, XDR correlates data across diverse sources to detect complex, multi-vector attacks faster and more accurately, enabling security teams to respond more efficiently and reduce dwell time. It often leverages AI, machine learning, and automation to enhance detection precision and orchestrate response actions across the entire IT environment.
