# Zero Trust Market Signals Federal Security Demand

DataM Intelligence projects the global Zero Trust security market will grow from US$47.84 billion in 2025 to US$196.93 billion by 2035, driven by identity-first security, cloud protection, microsegmentation, and controls for AI agents. The signal also points to government-relevant activity, including Japan’s critical-infrastructure cybersecurity standards, NIST and CISA identity guidance, and General Dynamics Information Technology’s federal Zero Trust offerings. It identifies no specific solicitation, contract award, or government funding, so the forecast is market intelligence rather than a current procurement opportunity.

- Contractors can position integrated Zero Trust deployment, identity, managed security, and post-quantum readiness capabilities for agencies’ implementation needs.
- Procurement teams can use the forecast and cited guidance to inform market research on identity controls, cloud protection, microsegmentation, and AI-agent security; the signal does not specify agency requirements or deadlines.
- NTT West, NTT Smart Connect, Zscaler, and Microsoft are among the named providers or solution companies, indicating a market spanning managed implementation and security technologies.
