Dell’Oro Group forecasts Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) revenue of $12.9 billion by 2030 with nearly 30% Compound Annual Growth rate (CAGR) from 2025, citing enterprise moves to standardize cloud controls and reduce tool sprawl that affect governance and procurement decisions.

Market Overview

The report projects CNAPP market revenue will reach $12.9 billion by 2030 and estimates a CAGR of nearly 30% from 2025 to 2030.

Key Findings

“CNAPP is becoming the policy layer for cloud governance, and we are seeing budgets move from isolated point tools to unified platforms that can be operationalized across teams,” said Mauricio Sanchez, Sr. Director, Enterprise Security and Networking at Dell’Oro Group.

“Deployment visibility is now the front door for most CNAPP programs, and the vendor race is tightening as cloud providers and pure plays compete to own the same risk workflows,” said Mauricio Sanchez, Sr. Director, Enterprise Security and Networking at Dell’Oro Group.

Segment or Supplier Performance

Wiz held the largest CNAPP revenue share in 3Q 2025 at 19%, with Microsoft at 18%.

The report notes Google’s pending acquisition of Wiz could raise competitive pressure; U.S. antitrust review has cleared and European regulators have an initial decision scheduled for February.

Technology or Trend Analysis

The research states CNAPP adoption is shifting from rapid uptake to broader standardization as enterprises rationalize tools and operationalize governance across hybrid estates.

Deployment-phase controls remain the primary spend area driven by inventory, entitlement hygiene, and audit-ready posture, while runtime purchases increasingly reflect operational overhead and response integration needs.

Forecast or Analyst Outlook

The report forecasts continued market expansion through 2030, driven by enterprise efforts to consolidate cloud security tooling and enforce consistent governance across hybrid environments.
