Global Application Security Market - 2022-2029

Global Application Security Market - 2022-2029

Market Overview

The global Application Security market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 21% during the forecast period (2022-2029).

Application security refers to security measures to prevent data or code within an application from being stolen or hijacked. It includes developing, adding and testing security features involved during the development of application and design. Apart from that, it also has systems and approaches to safeguard applications after they are deployed. It also includes hardware, software and procedures that reduce security susceptibilities.

Application security features include authentication, authorization, encryption, logging and application security testing. Furthermore, application security has different applications, including mobile application security, web application security, API security and cloud-native application security. The different benefits of application security include reduced risk from internal and external sources. It preserves the brand image, keeps customer data safe, builds customer confidence, protects sensitive data from leaks and enhances trust from investors and creditors.

The different categories of application include Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) and Run-time Application Security Protection (RASP). Moreover, the risks associated with application security include cross-site scripting (XSS), denial-of-service (DoS), SQL injection (SQLi), cross-site request forgery (CSRF), memory corruption and buffer overflow. Organizations such as OWASP are involved in tracking the vulnerabilities and providing comprehensive data that developers and security professionals can apply as a starting point for their application security.

Market Dynamics

The rise in application deployment over various networks and connected to the cloud leads to an increase in security breaches, increasing the demand for application security. Rising pressure and incentives on enterprises to ensure security at the network level and within an application are major factors driving the market's growth in upcoming years.

Growing need to address advanced security challenges

Increasing security breaches across the globe are creating security threats for consumers and enterprises. Threats such as broken access control, cryptographic failures, vulnerable and outdated components and software and data integrity failures are critical application threats that are likely to affect the application, increasing the demand for application security applications. Furthermore, these threats are so advanced that old technology would find it difficult to track and respond to them, which is also a major driving factor for the market's growth in upcoming years.

Need for high initial investment might hamper the growth of the market

The deployment of application security requires high investment to use the application secuority tools. Furthermore, lack of awareness about the application of security measures among various enterprises is also a major factor that is hampering the market's growth during the forecast period.

COVID-19 impact analysis

The global application security market experienced growth during the COVID-19 pandemic due to the increased use of phones and smartphones for numerous purposes, such as office work, mobile application development, e-commerce retailing and social media surfing. Owing to this factor, the market would witness exponential growth during the forecast period. Furthermore, the use of applications would result in data breaches, which would increase the demand for application security.

Additionally, various industries such as healthcare, BFSI, education, retail and the government are also increasing the application of e-commerce, Interactive Learning, Compromised networks or medical devices and brand damage are important parameters that would increase the inclination towards adopting application security.

Segment Analysis

The global application security market is segmented into type, component, deployment mode, organization size, testing type, end-user and region. The global application security market is further segmented into mobile application security and the type of web application security. Web application security accounted for the largest market share. High application of web application security to protect the applications from cyber threats and breaches is a major factor increasing the segment's growth in upcoming years.
