The unidirectional network market size is projected to reach US$ 1459.3 million by 2031 from US$ 522.86 million in 2023. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 13.7% in 2023–2031. The mounting cyberattacks and adoption of unidirectional solutions across various industries are likely to remain key to unidirectional network market trends.
Unidirectional network devices are commonly used to ensure information security and protect critical digital systems, such as industrial control systems, from cyber-attacks. While these devices are commonly used in high-security environments, for example, defense, where they assist as connections between two or more networks with varying security classifications, the technology is also being used to impose one-way communications outbound from critical digital systems to unauthorised networks connected to the Internet.
A unidirectional network, also known as a unidirectional gateway or data diode, is a network appliance or device that only allows data to flow in one direction. Data diodes are most commonly found in high-security environments, such as defense, where they connect two or more networks with different security classifications. With the rise of industrial IoT and digitization, this technology is now used at the industrial control level for facilities such as nuclear power plants, power generation, and safety-critical systems such as railway networks.
The integration of advanced technologies contributes to market growth. Advancements in unidirectional network or data diode solutions for preventing cybercrime are expected to provide new information flow capabilities more securely. Using next-generation one-way communication, data diodes have become more vital and stronger than firewalls, as well as smarter than traditional unidirectional networks.
The trend of industrial automation across industries forces businesses to adapt to the changing technological landscape in order to remain competitive in today's industry. Various industries such as power generation, oil and gas pipelines, airports and nuclear plants uses industrial control systems (ICS) to fuel automation. ICS system demands unidirectional networks that allows single direction flow of data. It helps to protect assets in high security system.
Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the unidirectional network market analysis are type and application.
