Summary
$47.07 billion is the projected size of the AI security operations center market in 2031, up from $18.10 billion in 2026, according to MarketsandMarkets.
21.1% annual growth is being driven by rising cyber threats, heavier alert volumes and a shortage of cybersecurity talent, pushing organizations toward AI-led detection, investigation and response.
Software platforms are expected to dominate the market in 2026, while threat detection and monitoring will hold the largest application share as companies seek continuous visibility across cloud, SaaS, endpoints and identities.
SMEs are forecast to expand fastest, with a 19.7% CAGR, as subscription-based and managed AI security tools lower the cost and expertise barriers for smaller businesses.
North America held the largest 2026 share at 41.5%, supported by major vendors, hyperscale cloud providers and government-backed efforts to strengthen AI-enabled cyber defense.
