Application Security Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Application Security Market Analysis

The Application Security Market size is estimated at USD 11.62 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 25.92 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 17.39% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Application security has become necessary with an increasing number of companies looking to develop their apps, purchase a record number of applications, and incorporate open-source code into their applications. The vulnerabilities and risks associated with these applications have risen exponentially.

• The application security systems reduce the security risks involved in the different operations of various applications, such as web and mobile applications. It has been anticipated that web applications would remain the most frequent cause of confirmed breaches, with organizations majorly connecting to various business-critical applications. On the internet, a breach risk has been continuously increasing.
• Despite the increasing frequency of data breaches and cybercrime, several types of research indicate that more money or attention still needs to be given to information security, specifically cybersecurity, in the workplace. When applications are used only within business-critical activities, such as payment-related activities or ordering goods and services, enterprises leave thousands of applications unused.
• Moreover, the usage of machine learning and artificial intelligence in mobile and web-based security processes bolsters the demand for the application security market. Application security encompasses mobile and web applications that go through several stages of the security development cycle, such as security coding and design.
• Several AI-specific fields, like ML and expert systems, could enhance application security by generating, forecasting, or applying inferences to identify security vulnerabilities, anticipate security risks, and provide security code remediation recommendations. Moreover, security professionals are also using these technologies to automate attack risk identification and code review. Numerous firms, like BR Softech, FuGen X, and USM Business Systems, use ML and AI for application development projects.
• With the outbreak of COVID-19, almost the majority of the organization had shifted to work from the home model due to the lockdown and social distancing measures that created a significant demand for managing the application and monitoring the application aspect remotely. For instance, last year, OpsRamp expanded its network, UC monitoring for the WFH world with new functionality in the OpsRamp platform that offers solutions providers a way to help customers manage hybrid and multi-cloud IT environments and meet the needs of work-from-home employees as demand for cloud applications, unified communications (UC) and collaboration tools, video conferencing, and other IT resources had increased significantly.

Application Security Industry Segmentation

Application security encompasses measures taken to improve the security of an application, often by finding, fixing, and preventing security vulnerabilities. Different techniques surface security vulnerabilities at various stages of an application's lifecycle, such as design, development, deployment, upgrade, and maintenance.

The Application Security Market is segmented by Application (Web, Mobile), Component (Services (Managed and Professions), Deployment (Cloud, On-Premise)), Organization Size (SMEs, Large Enterprises), Type of Security Testing (SAST, DAST, IAST, RASP), End-user Vertical (Healthcare, BFSI, Education, Retail, Government), and Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East and Africa).

The market sizes and forecasts are provided in terms of value (USD billion) for all the above segments.
