The programming software market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The programming software market has grown rapidly in recent years. It will rise from $2.04 billion in 2024 to $2.36 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.8%.
The growth is driven by personal computing, the adoption of agile methodologies, the introduction of high-level programming languages, and the popularity of graphical user interfaces (GUIs).
The programming software market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The programming software market is expected to grow to $4.19 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 15.4%.
The growth is driven by emerging programming languages, mobile development demand, and rising cybersecurity concerns. Major trends include programming language evolution, hardware advancements, mobile computing, and the open-source movement.
The surge in app development is foreseen to fuel the expansion of the programming software market in the near future. App development involves the creation of software apps explicitly engineered to function on mobile gadgets or other platforms like desktop computers or web browsers. The broad adoption of smartphones and tablets has led to an increasing demand for mobile apps that serve a range of functions, from communication and entertainment to productivity and business services. Programming software provides developers with syntax highlighting, code completion, and code templates, enabling them to code more rapidly and with less risk of error. For example, in August 2023, RipenApps Technologies, a digital transformation firm based in India, reported that global consumer expenditure on mobile apps hit $129B in 2022. Thus, the rise in app development activities is propelling the progress of the programming software market.

Prominent businesses in the programming software market prioritize the creation of breakthrough products, such as AI coding assistants, that can enhance the efficiency of developers, improve the quality of code, and streamline the process of app development. The AI coding assistants are software instruments equipped with artificial intelligence capabilities that help developers to write, review, and debug code. They utilize machine learning algorithms, natural language processing (NLP), and code analysis to provide intelligent suggestions, automate mundane tasks, and enhance coding efficiency in general. For instance, GitHub Inc., a US-based online platform enabling programmers to compose, store, organize, and share code, rolled out GitHub Copilot Enterprise in February 2024. It's an AI coding assistant capable of giving code suggestions, answering queries, and making alterations in accordance with the company's standards and codebase. It amplifies productivity and code quality while preserving control and compliance in their development operations.
