Container Infrastructure Software Market by Product Type (Mobile Phone, Tablet, and Computer), by Deployment Model (On-Premium and Cloud), by Organization Size (Large Enterprises, Small Enterprises, and Medium Enterprises), and by Application (Monitoring & Logging, Security, Continuous Deployment, Management & Orchestration, Networking & Data Management Services, and Others) – Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024–2030

Market Definition

The Container Infrastructure Software Market size was valued at USD 2.51 billion in 2023 and is predicted to reach USD 7.18 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 16.2% from 2024 to 2030. The container infrastructure software is a virtualized container that packages the code and all its dependencies so that the application runs quickly and reliably across computing environments. This container is a lightweight, standalone, executable package of software that includes everything needed to run an application such as codes, runtime, system tools, system libraries, and settings.

Software containers are available in many types including custom docker containers, certified managed containers, elastic virtual private servers (Elastic VPS), custom docker containers, docker engine CE (Docker Native), and kubernetes cluster container. In addition, software containers ensure better safety to applications along with best industry-standard isolation capabilities.

Market Dynamics and Trends

The increasing adoption of microservices architecture, which requires containers for microservices architecture for easy deployment, is expected to drive the growth of the container infrastructure software market. Also, government and healthcare sectors are adopting containerization to achieve compliance and regulatory requirements, as they have a massive amount of sensitive data that needs to be stored and processed in a secure manner. Containers provide an added layer of security by isolating applications and their dependencies that help reduce the attack surface and minimize the potential impact of a security breach. Thus, it is expected to boost the growth of the container infrastructure software market. 

Moreover, organizations are increasingly migrating their applications to the cloud, which is driving the demand for container infrastructure to deploy and manage applications in a cloud-native manner. As containers provide a convenient and efficient way to package & deploy applications in the cloud, the demand for container infrastructure is creasing among organizations to adopt container-based solutions for their cloud migrations.

However, implementing & maintaining a container infrastructure requires a significant investment of time, money, and resources. This can include the high cost of purchasing and deploying container orchestration platforms, integrating them with existing IT systems, and training personnel to effectively use & manage the infrastructure, which are expected to restraint the growth of the container infrastructure market. 

On the other hand, the growing adoption of IoT technology, which results in the significant utilization of software containers offering features such as the ability to migrate applications between IoT devices are expected to create ample opportunities for the container infrastructure software market in the coming years.

Geographical Analysis

North America holds the lion’s share of container infrastructure software market and is expected to continue its dominance during the forecast period. This is attributed to the growing need for businesses to have more flexibility and control over their IT infrastructure and growing adoption of hybrid and multi-cloud strategies among companies. As a result, the demand for containerization solutions that can support multi-cloud and hybrid environments is expected to grow rapidly in North America. For instance, in June 2021, Microsoft acquired AT&T’s network cloud called 5g core to evolve Microsoft's hybrid cloud technology to meet its computing needs. 

Furthermore, high adoption of cloud-native technologies and microservices architecture is driving the growth of container infrastructure market in North America. Cloud-native technologies are designed to run on cloud infrastructure and are typically built using containerization, which allows for more efficient deployment, scaling, and management of applications. For instance, in July 2021, Netflix adopted AWS and microservices to deliver its video streaming service to millions of customers.

On the other hand, Asia-Pacific is expected to show a steady rise in the container infrastructure software market due to the growing adoption of smartphones that use virtual containers such as google drive and docker for storing large sets of data. For instance, according to the Indian Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, the number of smartphone users reached 600 million in India in 2022 as compared to 492.78 million in 2021. 

Also, the adoption of cloud computing is growing rapidly in the Asia-Pacific region, with organizations looking for ways to deploy and manage their applications in the cloud. For instance, in July 2022, Tencent, a leading internet services provider in China launched EdgeOne to provide integrated security for global businesses that integrate Tencent’s experience in network performance and security with high efficiency and stability for global enterprises.

Competitive Landscape

The market players operating in the container infrastructure software market include Docker, Inc., Quanta Cloud Technology (White Box QCT), Inspur Group, Cavium, Inc., Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Super Micro Computer, Inc., Mellanox Technologies, Ltd., Cisco Systems, Inc., Canonical Ltd., Microsoft Corporation, and others. These market players continue to adopt product launches as their key development strategies to maintain their dominance in the container infrastructure software market. 

For instance, in May 2022, Docker launched the Docker Extensions to increase the productivity of developers. This helped to quickly discover and start using the tools needed for downloading, configuring, evaluating, and managing along with allowing the discovery and utilization of complementary development tools over the Docker Desktop.

Also, in November 2021, Microsoft launched Azure Container Apps, which is a fully managed serverless container service. This launch aimed to complement the existing container infrastructure services of the company. 

Moreover, in January 2021, Microsoft launched Application Guard, a feature that opens untrusted files in a sandbox. Through this launch, the company aimed to offer enhanced protection to Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel documents from potential malware and threats.
