The global security posture management (SPM) market size is projected to grow from USD 26.64 billion in 2025 to USD 53.31 billion by 2030 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 14.9% during the forecast period. The SPM market is driven by the increasing need for compliance with strict regulatory requirements, as organizations must protect sensitive data and adhere to standards such as HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI DSS. Non-compliance can result in severe penalties and reputational damage, making continuous monitoring and reporting essential. At the same time, adopting zero trust and risk-based frameworks is reshaping security strategies, requiring organizations to continuously verify identities, devices, and access privileges. SPM solutions help implement these frameworks by providing real-time visibility, detecting misconfigurations, and enforcing policies across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments.
