SPARK Matrix™: Managed Detection & Response Key Insights into the Global MDR Market Landscape

 

QKS Group’s latest research reveals that the Managed Detection and Response (MDR) market is projected to reach a valuation of USD 8.36 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 21.15% between 2025 and 2030.

As organizations accelerate their digital transformation journeys, the frequency and sophistication of cyber threats continue to rise. However, the global shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals, coupled with workforce burnout, has made it increasingly difficult for enterprises to manage evolving risks. To address these challenges, businesses are turning to Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services—outsourced security solutions managed by third-party experts that deliver continuous monitoring, rapid incident response, and proactive threat management.

Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services provide 24/7 security operations, threat detection, and incident response, ensuring that enterprises can swiftly identify, investigate, and neutralize security threats. A strong MDR framework protects against fileless malware, phishing campaigns, and both external and insider threats seeking to exfiltrate sensitive data. These solutions leverage automation and analytics to perform real-time threat detection, incident investigation, and proactive remediation, enhancing overall resilience and reducing response times.
