According to the WeLiveSecurity 2021 report, the FBI received a record-breaking 791,790 cybercrime complaints in 2020, costing more than US$4.2 billion. This emphasised upon the growing concerns of data security within data-sensitive organisations, thus influencing the market growth of DNS firewall solutions. These factors are set to boost the growth of domain name system  firewall within North American markets overtime.

Domain Name System Firewall Market Drivers

Growing penetration of smartphones coupled with utilization of web applications is propelling the growth of Domain Name System market:

Growing penetration of smartphones with significant utilization of web applications, act as a major factor boosting the growth towards domain name system firewall market. Significant penetration of social media platforms, online shopping platforms are propelling the use of smartphones and different web applications. Social media can provide attackers with a platform to impersonate trusted people and brands, as well as the information they need to carry out additional attacks such as social engineering and phishing. These sites expose security flaws, allowing fraud and malware attacks to take place. According to the Global digital overview report 2020, published in collaboration with We Are Social and Hootsuite, social media and mobile phones have become an essential part of people's daily lives all over the world. At the start of 2020, more than 4.5 billion people were using the internet, with social media users exceeding 3.8 billion. By the end of 2020, nearly 60% of the global population was online, and these trends are expected to continue, increasing vulnerability to cyberattacks. In June 2022, The DNS Abuse Institute in collaboration with CleanDNS announced the launch of NetBeacon, the first centralized DNS Abuse reporting service. NetBeacon will be open to the public and will allow anyone to easily report DNS Abuse, which includes malicious Internet activities such as malware, botnets, phishing, and spam. It will raise awareness about the importance of safe internet practices and increase the adoption domain name system firewall. Such factors will cater to significant growth of domain name system firewall market in the long run.

Rising data security concerns within data-sensitive organizations is driving the market growth of Domain Name System Firewall:

Rising data security concerns within data-sensitive organizations can also be considered as a major driver boosting the growth towards domain name system firewall market. This growth is being driven by rising data security risks within data-sensitive organisations, rise of security breach incidents leading to exposure of sensitive or confidential information, and so on. Since DNS Firewall ensures end-to-end encryption, query resolution, strong protection against Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks via rate-limiting, and protection against unwanted downtime at the hands of cybercriminals, there is significant adoption of such tools across organisations. Additionally, it reduces latency and unplanned outages while maintaining high availability and reliability. According to International Data Corporation's DNS security survey 2021, about 87% of organizations reported that DNS attacks disrupted their apps and services during the previous year. DNS services are used in nearly 91% of all malware attacks. Traditional cybersecurity measures seem no longer adequate in such situations, whether an enterprise organization, a small business, or a home internet user, there is significant shift towards DNS firewall. In March 2022, AWS launched Amazon Route 53 Resolver DNS Firewall which allows customers to block DNS queries for known malicious domains while allowing queries for trusted domains. DNS Firewall provides more precise control over Amazon Virtual Private Cloud resources. Such factors are set to accelerate the market growth of the domain name system firewall in the coming time.

Domain Name System Firewall Market Challenges 

High cost associated with the implementation and upgrade of DNS firewall is restricting the market growth:

High installation and configuration price of DNS firewalls is limiting the growth of market owing to the high cost of hardware components and an additional requirement of an IT professional for installation. Furthermore, hardware firewalls are more expensive than software firewalls because they require costly installation and maintenance. Software firewalls being less expensive and simple installation, make it more preferable over DNS firewall. According to the most recent Azure DNS pricing, the average cost of installing a DNS firewall in a small business is between $700 and $1,000. For businesses with 15 to 100 users, firewall hardware costs between $1,500 and $4,000. Such high costs, combined with operational complexity and low performance, limit DNS firewall adoption. Such high costs reduce its adoptability in small businesses owing to limited IT budget constraints, installation complexity, and so on, thus creating an adverse impact on its market growth overtime.
