Product Code: r17331
Custom software development involves the strategic creation of specialized software solutions to address the unique challenges faced by individuals or organizations. This comprehensive process encompasses conceptualization, design, construction, deployment, and ongoing maintenance of software tailored to meet specific user requirements, surpassing the capabilities offered by standard off-the-shelf packages.
The primary categories of custom software development solutions include web-based solutions, mobile applications, and enterprise software. Web-based solutions entail crafting bespoke software applications intended for operation within web browsers, adeptly addressing distinct business demands and specifications. These solutions are deployable both in the cloud and on-premise, catering to the requirements of diverse entities, ranging from large enterprises to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). They find utility across various sectors, including banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI), government, healthcare, information technology and telecommunications, manufacturing, retail, and beyond.
The custom software development research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides custom software development market statistics, including the custom software development industry's global market size, regional shares, competitors with a custom software development market share, detailed custom software development market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the custom software development industry. This custom software 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 custom software development market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $36.36 billion in 2023 to $44.86 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.4%. The expansion observed during the historical period can be ascribed to the adoption of agile and DevOps methodologies, heightened cybersecurity considerations, rising customer demands, regulatory adherence, evolving business frameworks, and the trend towards globalization.
The custom software development market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $105.02 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.7%. Anticipated growth in the forecast period is driven by the acceleration of digital transformation initiatives, heightened emphasis on cybersecurity measures, the proliferation of remote work and collaboration tools, and a renewed focus on data privacy and compliance. Notable trends expected during this period encompass hyper-automation, the adoption of containerization and microservices architectures, an enhanced emphasis on user experience, advancements in augmented reality and virtual reality technologies, applications of quantum computing, and the promotion of ethical and responsible artificial intelligence practices.
The rising utilization of robotic automation is anticipated to significantly contribute to the expansion of the custom software development industry. Robotic automation involves a software technology designed for the easy construction, deployment, and management of software robots that mimic human interactions with digital interfaces and software solutions. This surge in adoption is attributed to robotic automation's capacity to augment efficiency, productivity, and accuracy across various sectors, simultaneously decreasing operational expenditures. Custom software development plays a pivotal role in enhancing the functionality and integration of robotics within automation processes, addressing needs such as control mechanisms, sensor integration, route planning, and data analysis. For instance, as reported by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), a United States-based non-profit organization, the year 2022 saw 553,052 industrial robots being installed worldwide, marking a 5% increase compared to the previous year. Additionally, from a regional perspective, Asia was responsible for 73% of these new installations, with Europe and the USA contributing 15% and 10%, respectively. Thus, the burgeoning adoption of robotic automation serves as a key driver for the custom software development sector's growth.
Leading enterprises in the custom software development sector are pivoting towards innovation, specifically by venturing into virtual reality (VR) applications, to enhance their market revenue. This shift is aimed at enabling content creators through the introduction of cutting-edge virtual production technologies. In a notable development, Flipside XR, a pioneering VR firm based in Canada, unveiled its latest offering in March 2023 - Flipside Studio Support, backed by Meta. This VR application is tailored for creators, facilitating the real-time creation of animated content with advanced virtual production tools. Upon completion, it allows for seamless uploading and dissemination across major social media channels, including YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, and others. The application provides a comprehensive suite of tools and features, enabling creators to produce engaging and high-quality videos by harnessing the immersive potential of VR technology.
In February 2021, Cognizant, a prominent US-based IT services and consulting firm, acquired Magenic Technologies Inc., a move aimed at bolstering its software product engineering capabilities and expanding expertise in custom software development.
