Static Analysis Global Market Report 2024

The static analysis market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.35 billion in 2023 to $1.59 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.4%. The growth observed in the historic period can be attributed to factors such as increasing software complexity, stringent regulatory standards, the shift left in software development practices, integration with development environments, and the proliferation of open-source software in the field of static analysis.

The static analysis market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.99 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the adoption of DevOps practices, an increased emphasis on software security, rapid growth in IoT development, integration of AI and machine learning, compliance with privacy regulations, and a shift towards microservices architecture in the field of static analysis. Major trends expected in the forecast period include collaborative development and code reviews, a shift from on-premises to cloud-based solutions, adherence to compliance standards, a heightened focus on security vulnerability detection, and growing concerns related to cybersecurity in software development.

The static analysis market is anticipated to experience significant growth due to the increasing number of cyber threats. Cyber threats encompass any potential or actual malicious activities or events in the digital realm that pose risks to computer systems, networks, data, or digital infrastructure. Static analysis plays a crucial role in identifying and preventing cyber threats by detecting vulnerabilities in the source code before the program is publicly released. By examining the source code and scanning for security flaws before code generation, static analysis fortifies the program against potential attacks. For example, in November 2022, the Australian Cyber Security Center, a government agency in Australia, reported a 13% increase in cybercrime reports, reaching 76,000 in 2022. This surge in cyber threats is a key driver behind the growth of the static analysis market.

The static analysis market is also expected to benefit from the rising adoption of cloud technology. The term 'cloud' refers to a network of remote servers on the internet that store, manage, and deliver data, applications, and services to users and organizations. Cloud computing enhances static analysis by providing scalable computing resources, enabling efficient processing of large codebases, and facilitating collaboration among developers through centralized storage and accessibility of static analysis tools and results. In December 2023, Eurostat, a UK-based intergovernmental organization, reported that 45.2% of EU enterprises purchased cloud computing services, marking a 4.2% increase compared to 2021. The statistics reveal a growing trend in cloud adoption, with 44% of traditional small businesses, 66% of small tech companies, and 74% of enterprises utilizing cloud services. Consequently, the increasing adoption of cloud technology is a significant driver of the static analysis market's growth.

The primary impediment to the growth of the static analysis market during the forecast period is the shortage of skilled professionals. This scarcity of expertise in utilizing static analysis tools poses a significant challenge to the software development and cybersecurity industries, which employ these tools to examine source code or binary code without executing it, identifying programming errors. Organizations are compelled to either allocate more resources for performing static analysis or incur costs by hiring expensive consultants to bridge the skills gap. For instance, in May 2023, Ernst and Young, a UK-based advisory services company, reported that 81% of organizations are grappling with a shortage of skilled professionals, particularly in the context of static analysis tools. Consequently, the shortage of skilled professionals is impeding the growth of the static analysis tools market.

Leading companies in the static analysis market are actively innovating new technological solutions, such as CI Spark, to enhance their market profitability. CI Spark represents a pioneering approach to software security testing, utilizing large language models (LLMs) and self-learning AI to significantly reduce the time required to build tests. In September 2023, Code Intelligence GmbH, a Germany-based software company, introduced CI Spark, a novel LLM-powered software security testing solution. CI Spark leverages LLMs to automatically detect attack surfaces, generate fuzz tests, and propose test codes. The solution employs a diverse range of prompts to guide the identification of security-critical tasks and automate the creation of high-quality tests. The automation, efficiency, scalability, and creativity offered by CI Spark are expected to contribute to the business growth of Code Intelligence GmbH.

Static analysis, also known as static code analysis or static code review, is a software testing and code quality assurance technique employed in software development to evaluate code without executing it. This technique is pivotal in the software development process, aiding developers and organizations in ensuring code quality, security, and maintainability.

The main components in static analysis include software, services, consulting, support and maintenance, training, and education. Software encompasses a collection of programs, data, and instructions that instruct a computer on how to perform specific tasks or functions. It is utilized by large enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across various industries, including information technology and telecom, banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), manufacturing, retail, government and defense, and other end-users.
