Software becoming a critical component for various functions and automation of software development process to quickly release software application are expected to boost the adoption of CI tools across industries. The CI tools market size was USD 402.8 million in 2017 and is expected to reach USD 1,139.3 million by 2023, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 18.7% during the forecast period. The base year considered for this study is 2017, and the forecast period considered is from 2018 to 2023.

The objective of the study is to define, describe, and forecast the continuous integration tools market, on the basis of deployment modes (cloud and on-premises), organization size (SMEs, and large enterprises), vertical (BFSI, retail and Ecommerce, telecommunications, education, media and entertainment , healthcare, manufacturing, and Others [government, logistics and transportation, and energy and utilities]), and region. Moreover, the report aims at providing detailed information about the major factors influencing the growth of market, such as drivers, restraints, opportunities, and challenges.

The major growth driver for the continuous integration tools market is the increasing demand for automation of software development process to quickly release software application. CI tools are becoming crucial in the application development process, as they can considerably reduce the time required to create a build, and improve developer productivity, and thereby accelerate the time-to-market.

The scope of this report covers the continuous integration tools market analysis by deployment mode, organization size, vertical, and region. Based on deployment mode, the CI tools is segmented into on-premises and the cloud. The on-premises deployment mode gives organizations complete control over all their systems and data. However, most of the large enterprises prefer CI tools deployed on-premises due to advanced security features. Cloud-based deployment, on the other hand, benefits organizations with increased scalability, speed, 24/7 service, and enhanced IT security. The demand for cloud based CI tools are expected to be rapidly increasing, as it serves as a dominant Integration tools model in meeting the IT security needs.

Based on organization size, the continuous integration tools market is segmented into SMEs and large enterprises. The adoption rate of CI suite among large enterprises is expected to be relatively high as compared to that among the SMEs. Due to the huge IT infrastructure budgets and high demand for advanced technologies, the large enterprises segment is expected to hold a larger market size in the CI tools market. The CI tools market in terms of organization size is important, as it has a direct impact on the adoption of DevOps tools and services worldwide.

The CI tools are adopted across verticals, such as BFSI; media and entertainment; retail and ecommerce; healthcare; manufacturing; telecommunication; education; and others (government, energy and utilities, and logistics and transportation). The media and entertainment vertical is expected to hold the largest market size, as they have started adopting CI tools for applications and software to meet the growing demand for automation and testing to unify the entire development process into an end-to-end process. CI/ CD tools are gaining traction across verticals to enhance the customer experience and the overall productivity of companies

As per the geographic analysis, North America is expected to have the largest market size in the global continuous integration tools market, while APAC is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The North American region has witnessed increased investments in the CI tools market. A considerable growth is expected in the region during the forecast period. In this region, the growing demand automating the build process to enhance the developer productivity are becoming crucial and achieve competitive advantage.

A major restraining factor for the growth of the CI tools market could be the availability of open source CI tools. Existing integration methods and lack of expertise in assembling and setting up of CI system would the major challenges in the adoption of CI tools market.

The major vendors covered in the continuous integration tools market include Atlassian (Australia), IBM (US), Microsoft (US), Micro Focus (UK), CA Technologies (US), Cloudbees (US), AWS (US), Puppet (Oregon), Red Hat (US), CA Technologies (US), Oracle (US), Micro Focus (UK), SmartBear (US), Jetbrains (Czech Republic), CircleCI (US), Shippable (US), Electric Cloud (US), V-Soft Technologies (South Africa), BuildKite (Australia), TravisCI (Germany), AutoRABIT (US), AppVeyor (Canada), Drone.io (US), Rendered Text (Serbia), Bitrise (Hungary), Nevercode (UK), and PHPCI (Belgium). These vendors have adopted various organic and inorganic growth strategies, such as new product launches, partnerships and collaborations, and mergers and acquisitions, to expand their presence in the global CI tools market.
