Statistical analysis software (SAS) comprises computer programs designed to analyze, manipulate, and visualize data, aiming to uncover patterns, trends, and relationships within datasets. These tools offer a wide array of statistical techniques and methods, aiding researchers, analysts, and data scientists in understanding complex data and deriving meaningful insights.
The main components of statistical analysis software include software and services. Software encompasses a set of instructions and data that guide a computer in performing specific tasks. It comes in various forms such as cloud-based and on-premises solutions, offering functionalities such as descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics. Statistical analysis software is utilized across various industry verticals including healthcare, finance, education, manufacturing, retail, government, IT, and telecommunications.
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 statistical analysis software market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides statistical analysis software market statistics, including the statistical analysis software industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with statistical analysis software market share, detailed statistical analysis software market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the statistical analysis software industry. This statistical analysis software 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 statistical analysis software market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $9.32 billion in 2024 to $10.26 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased volume and complexity of data, rise in data-driven decision-making, regulatory compliance requirements, the growth of business intelligence, and increased focus on predictive analytics.
The statistical analysis software market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.83 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the emergence of industry-specific solutions, shift towards cloud-based solutions, focus on real-time analytics, integration with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), and demand for self-service analytics. Major trends in the forecast period include AI-powered features, advanced anomaly detection, natural language processing (NLP) integration, innovation, and cloud-based AI services.
The forecast of 9.6% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.5% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Trade barriers are expected to impact the statistical analysis software market by limiting access to advanced mathematical modeling engines and analytics libraries primarily developed in offshore R&D hubs, reducing feature expansion velocity. 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 statistical analysis software market is set to experience significant growth due to the rapid adoption of cloud computing. Cloud computing delivers computing services over the internet, providing resources such as storage, processing power, and software on-demand, eliminating the need for local infrastructure or management. This adoption is driven by the complete flexibility, scalability, cost-effectiveness, and improved collaboration and accessibility offered by cloud computing. Statistical analysis software is utilized in cloud computing environments to leverage the scalability, flexibility, cost efficiency, and integration capabilities of cloud platforms, enabling users to conduct advanced analytics, data processing, and modeling tasks efficiently. For example, Flexera reported that in 2022, 87% of organizations adopted multi-cloud setups, with 72% adopting hybrid clouds, 13% multiple public clouds, and 2% multiple private clouds. Additionally, cloud spending by small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) surged, with 52% spending more than $1.2 million in 2022, up from 38% in 2021.
Leading companies in the statistical analysis software market are focusing on developing advanced solutions, such as a new healthcare analytics platform, to meet critical industry needs. This new platform leverages data insights to improve patient care and enhance operational efficiency. For example, in September 2023, SAS Health, a US-based company specializing in analytics and data management, introduced a healthcare analytics platform designed to optimize health data management and boost patient outcomes. The comprehensive solution streamlines health data integration, strengthens data governance, and accelerates insights for healthcare providers, insurers, and public health agencies. It uses a Common Health Data Model with predefined mappings to industry standards, enabling quick data ingestion through a no-code/low-code approach. Powered by the SAS Viya AI platform, it delivers actionable insights quickly while ensuring regulatory compliance. Key features of the platform include identifying clinical staffing gaps and visualizing the locations of screening centers in relation to patient populations.
In January 2024, Parse Biosciences, a biotechnology company based in the US, acquired Biomage for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to strengthen Parse Biosciences' single-cell sequencing technology by incorporating advanced data analysis tools. The integration aims to simplify the research process, provide deeper biological insights, and accelerate advancements in single-cell genomics. Biomage, also based in the US, specializes in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data analysis, with its flagship product at the core of its offerings.
