Cloud native development is a software development approach that harnesses the capabilities and benefits of cloud computing and modern containerization technologies to create and manage applications. This methodology is specifically tailored for building and deploying applications intended to operate in cloud environments.
The primary types of cloud-native development can be categorized as solutions and services. A solution encompasses a comprehensive set of tools, technologies, or software packages designed to address specific challenges or requirements associated with cloud-native application development. These solutions can be deployed in private clouds, hybrid clouds, and multi-cloud environments. Cloud-native development solutions are utilized by various organizations, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and large enterprises. They cater to diverse industries, such as banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI), healthcare, government, and other end-users.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the information technology sector, especially in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Increased duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have driven up production and operating costs for tech companies, cloud service providers, and data centers. Firms that depend on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are grappling with extended lead times and mounting pricing pressures. At the same time, tariffs on specialized software and retaliatory actions by key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and dampened foreign demand for U.S.-made technologies. In response, the sector is ramping up investments in domestic chip production, broadening its supplier network, and leveraging AI-powered automation to improve resilience and manage costs more effectively.
The cloud native development market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides cloud native development market statistics, including cloud native development industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with cloud native development market share, detailed cloud native development market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the cloud native development industry. This cloud native development market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The cloud native development market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $881.98 billion in 2024 to $1087.96 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to agile development practices, microservices architecture, devops culture, scalability requirements, cost efficiency.
The cloud native development market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2557.37 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to serverless computing, open source contributions, edge computing integration, ai and machine learning integration, enhanced security measures. Major trends in the forecast period include continuous innovation, hybrid and multi-cloud deployments, low-code/no-code platforms, containerization technology, kubernetes orchestration, containerization growth.
The forecast of 23.8% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.1% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariffs could hamper access to essential open-source tools, frameworks, and collaborative development environments maintained by international communities. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The anticipated growth in cloud computing adoption is set to drive the expansion of the cloud-native development market in the future. Cloud computing involves delivering a range of computing services over the internet, encompassing storage, processing power, databases, networking, and software applications. Cloud-native development is utilized in cloud computing to optimize the efficiency, scalability, and flexibility of applications. According to data from July 2023 by the International Data Corporation, global revenue from public cloud services experienced substantial growth, reaching $545.8 billion in 2022, representing a significant increase of 22.9% compared to the previous year. Consequently, the increasing adoption of cloud computing is a key factor propelling the growth of the cloud-native development market.
The ongoing digitization trend is expected to contribute to the growth of the cloud-native development market. Digitization involves the conversion of analog information or physical objects into digital format, facilitating the representation of data in numerical or binary code. Within cloud-native development, digitization serves as building blocks for microservices communication and integration, fostering modularity and agility in cloud-native architectures. As of December 2022, global spending on digital transformation amounted to approximately $1.85 trillion, marking a 16% increase compared to 2021, according to data from Augusta Free Press. Therefore, the upward trajectory of digitization is a driving force behind the growth of the cloud-native development market.
Major companies in the cloud-native development sector are innovating by introducing advanced serverless solutions. Serverless computing, a cloud computing model where cloud providers dynamically manage infrastructure, is gaining popularity. For example, DigitalOcean Holdings Inc. launched DigitalOcean Functions in May 2022, providing a serverless solution for developers, startups, and small businesses. This solution offers a fast, scalable, and cost-effective approach to building applications without the need to manage cloud infrastructure. DigitalOcean Functions enables developers to focus on software creation and scaling without the complexities of server provisioning and maintenance, catering to the demand for serverless functions.
In February 2022, International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) strengthened its position in the cloud-native development landscape by acquiring Neudesic Technologies for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move expanded IBM's hybrid multi-cloud services portfolio and enhanced capabilities in the Microsoft Azure platform and multi-cloud environments. Neudesic Technologies, a technology company based in the United States, specialized in providing cloud-native development, full-stack development, data and AI, mobile, and quality assurance services.
