The software as a service saas escrow services market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for software as a service (SaaS) escrow services has expanded fast in the last few years. It's predicted to grow from $8.56 billion in 2024 to $10.01 billion in 2025, marking a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.9%.
The growth observed in the historic period can be traced back to factors like increased uptake of cloud-based SaaS solutions, rising concerns over data security and vendor trustworthiness, the emergence of complex SaaS vendor ecosystems, changing customer demands for business continuity and risk management, as well as occurrences of SaaS vendor insolvencies or service interruptions.
The software as a service saas escrow services market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the market size for escrow services within the software as a service (SaaS) sector is projected to witness swift expansion, reaching a value of $18.51 billion by 2029 and growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.6%.
This predicted growth in the forecasted period can be associated with an increased emphasis on cybersecurity measures and data protection laws, intensified examination on vendor stability and robustness, the spread of specialized SaaS applications and microservices, and the rising complexity of SaaS contract agreements, along with continuous shift towards cloud-based SaaS models. Future trends within this timeframe are expected to include the use of blockchain technology in SaaS escrow solutions, the inclusion of artificial intelligence and machine learning within escrow procedures, the rise of industry-specific standards for SaaS escrow agreements, the creation of automated tools for escrow monitoring and verification, and the growth of subscription-based escrow models.
The growth of the SaaS escrow services market is expected to be accelerated by the increasing demand for cloud-based services. These services provide computing resources and applications through the internet, enabling users to access them remotely without having a direct infrastructure. The popularity of these services is due to their scalability, cost-effectiveness, and the requirement for accessibility and adaptability in today’s business scenarios. SaaS escrow services offer assurance and risk management strategies that promote trust in adopting cloud services, thereby allowing businesses to utilize the advantages of SaaS while addressing worries regarding the vendor's dependability and service sustainability. For example, in December 2023, data from the European Commission (EC) revealed that 42.5% of EU businesses purchased cloud computing services in 2023 primarily for e-mail, file storage, and office software. This represents a 4.2 percentage point increase from 2021 in businesses purchasing cloud services. Therefore, it's clear the growth in demand for cloud-based services is propelling the SaaS escrow services market.
