As per service, the cloud application migration segment to hold the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The application modernization services market by service type is divided into application portfolio assessment, cloud application migration, application re-platforming, application integration, UI modernization, and post-modernization. Cloud application migration is estimated to hold the highest CAGR of 19.4% during the forecasted period of the application modernization services market. A cloud application migration is the process by which a business moves some or all its data center capabilities onto the cloud, typically to use the cloud-based infrastructure offered by public cloud or private cloud services providers such as Oracle, TCS, or Microsoft Azure. As more businesses migrate to the cloud, more migrations within the cloud are also happening as businesses switch between various cloud providers (known as cloud-to-cloud migration). Applications are moved to the cloud by businesses to benefit from lower costs, flexible scaling, and the ability to update software fast in response to demand changes. The process of migrating on-premises or legacy infrastructure to the cloud is known as application migration. It applies when migrating IT processes, databases, and applications between clouds. Organizations need to analyze each application's design, determine whether it could be implemented on the new platform, and make informed decisions if they want to move their apps to the cloud. It is crucial to carefully examine overall application migration criteria, considering all relevant factors such as resource allocation, business continuity, compliance, security, and cost considerations.

As per vertical, BFSI vertical holds the largest market size during the forecast period

The compatibility for advanced solution integration is not present in its out-of-date software components. Modern customers are accustomed to getting solutions quickly, or they will find another vendor. In this aspect, modernizing outdated banking applications speeds up project completion while reducing work complexity. The act of updating, upgrading, or refining current or legacy apps so they may incorporate the newest computing techniques, such as modern languages, cloud infrastructure, and frameworks, is known as legacy application modernization. Due to severe regulations and outdated core platforms that keep them bound to decades-old legacy systems, banks are hesitant to adopt new technological advancements.
