The virtualization software market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $73.74 billion in 2023 to $85.83 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.4%. During the historical period, the increase can be credited to server optimization, flexibility and agility, disaster recovery, legacy system support, and green IT initiatives.
The virtualization software market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $159.33 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.7%. The rise anticipated in the forecast period is linked to edge computing, containerization, adoption of hybrid and multi-cloud systems, and a focus on security and compliance. Key trends expected during this period include the integration of IoT, edge computing advancements, incorporation of AI and machine learning, and increased adoption of containerization.
The virtualization software market is poised for growth due to the increasing demand for cloud-based services. Cloud-based services entail accessing computing resources such as storage, processing power, and software applications over the internet rather than locally. Their popularity stems from benefits such as scalability, cost-effectiveness, enhanced collaboration, data security, and accessibility. Virtualization software plays a crucial role by efficiently managing resources, optimizing server utilization, and providing scalable computing resources on demand, thereby driving the growth of cloud-based services. For example, Eurostat reported in December 2023 that 45.2% of European Union enterprises used cloud computing services, marking a 4.2 percentage point increase from 2021. This trend is evident across different business sectors, with traditional small businesses, small tech companies, and enterprises embracing cloud services for various tasks.
Key players in the virtualization software market are emphasizing advanced solutions such as single hybrid cloud data platforms to meet diverse enterprise needs effectively. These platforms integrate and manage data across public and private cloud environments seamlessly. For instance, Hitachi Ltd introduced Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform One in October 2023, a single hybrid cloud data platform designed to handle large-scale tasks efficiently. It features a unified architecture with a singular control plane, data fabric, and data plane, catering to block, file, object, cloud, mainframe, and software-defined storage workloads. This comprehensive platform is AI-enabled and managed through a single software stack, offering flexibility and efficiency.
