Global Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) Market Trends:

Growing demand for EDR due to rise in targeted attacks against large organization is a recent trend

Large organizations in various industries are facing increased targeted attacks. These attacks include initial scraping of data or reconnaissance and are carried out through brute-force password spraying or leakage, as well as a good amount of automation. Threat actors are using these methods to put minimum effort to get maximum returns, based on the personally identifiable information (PII) exfiltrated and the organization. Thus, demand for endpoint detection and response solutions is increasing significantly among large organizations. This trend is expected to grow in the market during the forecast period.

Need for EDR solutions in healthcare industry is a growing trend

Healthcare industry has been witnessing digitalization in recent years. In past two decades the industry has evolved and has become a digitalized sector. Storing healthcare record has become digital process containing private data. With continuous adoption of novel technologies in healthcare industry, cyber threats are on the rise. This is owing to the risk of exploitation of vulnerabilities, as due to unauthorized access to insurance and personal health data can cause drastic ramifications, inflicting huge financial and personal losses. Thus, need for EDR solutions is increasing in healthcare industry, and this trend is expected to propel growth of the market in the coming future.

Global Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) Market Restraints:

High cost of innovations to impede growth of the market

Consumers need a multi-layered approach to endpoint detection and response that incorporate tools combining superior performance with centralized and low cost management. It also helps to deliver threat protection in all endpoints, which ensures the safety of consumer data, whether it is run in a virtual, physical, or hybrid environment. However, cost of EDR innovations is higher, due to which it is not being adopted in emerging and underdeveloped regions. This in turn is expected to hinder growth of the global endpoint detection and response (EDR) market over the forecast period. However, market players are involved in development of solutions that are cost effective, which is likely to support the market growth.

Lack of protection for mobile devices to obstruct growth of the market

Endpoint detection and response solutions are falling short of offering protection for mobile devices. Manual investigation and longtime of detection is one of the factors lacking for protecting mobile devices. Mobile security solutions are effective depending on the time taken to offer an accurate verdict on a threat and for creating and implementing protections in the organization. The time required for identifying a breach with EDR is long due to which it needs human investigation. Thus, these factors impede adoption of endpoint detection and response solutions, which is expected restrict growth of the global endpoint detection and response (EDR) market over the forecast period.
