Serverless Architecture Market Forecasts to 2028 - Global Analysis By Component, Deployment Model, Organization Size, Software Type (Backend-as-a-service, Function-as-a-service and Database), Application, End User and Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Serverless Architecture Market is accounted for $11.81 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $44.43 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 24.7% during the forecast period. One of the main factors driving the market's growth is the growing understanding of the advantages of serverless architecture, such as enhanced process agility and lower operational costs. Additionally, advantages like quicker setup, simpler operational management, and no system administration are enhancing developers' apps. The development of cloud-based technologies and the use of outside vendors to handle server components is also anticipated to fuel market expansion. By adopting serverless architecture, businesses may successfully do away with costly, time-consuming methods like buying new hardware components, installing, configuring, and debugging. The management of servers, databases, and application logic is shifted, which lowers setup and maintenance expenses. Organizations are able to use serverless environments thanks to developments in computing technology, which is expanding the market.

According to a recent survey by Salt Stack, a Utah-based provider of intelligent IT automation software, even though two-thirds of organizations have more than 10% of their applications containerized, 40% of the organizations still need to be concerned that their container strategy needs to invest in security adequately.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing adoption of serverless architecture

A wide range of application innovations have been sped up by the serverless architectural revolution. Customer relationship management (CRM), business intelligence and analytics, the information system for human resources, finance, e-commerce, and other industries all use serverless architecture. Software applications can be swiftly and readily changed using a serverless architectural approach, which also enables organisations to handpick the services based on requirements. Cloud-based technologies are being fully utilised by serverless architecture. Instead of managing traffic on their IT infrastructure, it enables businesses to concentrate on their core services and goods.

Restraint:

Technical issues regarding vendor lock-in and data security issues

Serverless architecture totally depends on a third-party vendor or provider to run mobile or web applications. After deploying to a serverless architecture, application developers are not able to further modify a feature depending on user or client requirements. The user data may become trapped in a closed system as a result of these technical problems, which can cause system outages, required API changes, loss of functionality, unanticipated constraints, and costs. Serverless platforms are vulnerable to denial-of-service (DoS) attacks that could overwhelm the user system and disable critical functionality for numerous users. These elements are the main market inhibitors for serverless architecture.

Opportunity:

Expansion of Hybrid IT to Accelerate Market Growth

In a hybrid serverless architecture, some apps will operate on AWS, some in the company's own data centre, and yet others across several public clouds. Hybrid serverless solutions can scale across multi-cloud and data centre environments, allowing operators additional flexibility. In the near future, it is projected that the technology will be widely used in enterprise applications and will integrate with both traditional application architectures and micro-services. Additionally, serverless architecture makes it simple to monitor apps, which fosters market expansion. The monitoring help offered by different providers varies, and it frequently has to be augmented by other services.

Threat:

Complexities in Testing and Debugging, Cyber Threats

Debugging issues after deployment and replicating the serverless environment to test how code will operate are challenging tasks. A major market barrier is a lack of visibility into backend operations. Applications that manage sensitive or personal data may encounter cyber threats and security breaches. In a serverless architecture, businesses are not given their own unique physical servers; instead, service providers run code from a number of their clients on a single server, a practise known as multitenancy or sharing hardware. If the multi-tenant servers are not set correctly, multi-tenancy may expose critical data to hackers.

COVID-19 Impact

The market for serverless architecture has experienced an increase in demand thanks to COVID-19. Serverless architecture is what businesses need to finish their digital transformation, and the COVID-19 epidemic has boosted this market even more. Due to lockdown and operational constraints imposed by the government and municipal authorities, many organisations have changed their work-from-home policies. As a result, serverless architecture adoption has experienced significant growth in application sectors like banking and financial services, media and entertainment, and retail and e-commerce. The demand and revenue from these companies have been seen by serverless architecture vendors.

The large enterprises segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The large enterprises segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to the widespread use of serverless technology by app developers, which reduces the need for server maintenance since serverless architecture is a software design style that hosts applications using a third-party service with cloud storage. Serverless architecture eliminates the need to manage physical infrastructure, which is often involved in hosting software applications online and allows it to run all cloud-based applications. It offers the businesses exceptional scalability and inexpensive IT & infrastructure costs.

The telecommunications and IT segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The telecommunications and IT segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to the vast variety of advantages it offers. Using this technology eliminates the need for manual provisioning, upkeep, and scaling of compute resources in distributed computing scenarios used in the IT industry. It offers automatic resource scaling in the event of heavy and fluctuating workloads. This technology can be utilised in the E-commerce, retail, and healthcare sectors to combine traditional and big data workloads for sophisticated analytics and real-time decision support.

Region with highest share:

North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. The market for serverless architecture in this area is growing quickly due to digital transformation. Major cloud providers like Amazon Web Service, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and others have greatly benefited from the switch from traditional server design to serverless architecture as they continue to grow their businesses in the area. Additionally, growing investments in various mobile application firms from angel investors, venture capitalists, and government funding programmes are actively boosting the demand for serverless architecture services in this area.

Region with highest CAGR:

Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, as a result of growing investments in the implementation of internet architectures in developing sectors including the Internet of Things (IoT), machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, and database infrastructure. The government will place a financial priority on developing fresh approaches for federating cloud or serverless architecture, according to the European Union (EU).
