The independent software vendors market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for independent software vendors has seen a significant expansion in the past few years. With a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.7%, it is projected to surge from $3.09 billion in 2024, to $3.61 billion in 2025. The historical growth has been fuelled by factors such as the rising adoption of cloud solutions, the increasing integration of digital solutions, elevated demand for products within emerging economies, increased preference for multi-cloud and hybrid cloud, as well as the surge in volumes of independent software vendor products.
The independent software vendors market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• It is anticipated that the independent software vendors market will experience a significant surge in growth in the coming years. The market is forecasted to expand to $6.59 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.3%.
This projected growth during the estimate period is likely due to factors such as the increased adoption of software as a service (SaaS), surge in worldwide IT expenditure, the need for regulatory compliance, heightened demand for tailor-made solutions, and the escalating incorporation of digital solutions. Noticeable trends for the forecasted period encompass advancements in smart software platforms, software development for internet of things (IoT) devices, technological breakthroughs, the inclusion of artificial intelligence, and the integration of machine learning (ML).
The escalating need for services and resources accessed through cloud-based solutions is projected to drive the expansion of the independent software vendor market. The surge in demand for these solutions can be attributed to heightened security and compliance measures, the ability to access applications remotely, and prioritizing a resilient and highly redundant infrastructure. Additionally, cloud-based solutions give an upper hand over on-site systems by providing superior scalability and flexibility. Independent software vendors utilize this advantage by delivering software that can adapt rapidly to customer needs, be it in terms of greater data storage, computing power, or user capacity. As an example, Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union in Luxembourg, revealed in December 2023 that around 45.2% of enterprises in the European Union leveraged cloud computing services in 2023. This was primarily for tasks such as email hosting and file storage, reflecting a significant increase of 4.2 percentage points from 2021. Moreover, in 2023, the most commonly sought-after cloud computing services were email services at 82.7%, file storage services at 68.0%, and office software at 66.3%. Consequently, the burgeoning demand for cloud-based solutions is fueling the independent software vendor market.
