The global market for network access control devices will reach $2.6 billion by 2020, according to a forecast by market research firm ASDReports. This reflects a compound annual growth rate of 31.17 percent from the $681.3 million market in 2015.

“The global NAC market is witnessing a rapid growth with growing new modes of user interactions in enterprises,” the forecast said. “These modes need to be secured to prevent any leakage of information. NAC solutions help in avoiding security vulnerabilities and securing a network from any risk. Also, the growing Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend calls for highly secured network solutions. Thus, NAC solution has become the most significant part of security value chain and is being implemented by most of the organizations globally.”

North America is predicted to be the largest market for network access control devices.
