Detailed analysis and profiling of additional market players

The cloud microservices market is expected to grow from USD 683.2 million in 2018 to USD 1,880.0 million by 2023, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 22.4% during the forecast period. The major factors driving the cloud microservices market are digital transformations, proliferation of the microservices architecture and, customer-oriented business.

Traditionally, monolithic approach was being followed in the organizations that was built as a single, autonomous unit. In monolithic approach, to scale specific functions of an application, the developer has to scale the entire application instead of just the desired components.  Whereas, cloud microservices architecture gives developers the freedom to independently develop and deploy service applications that are built through HTTP/REST language and APIs. Enterprises are rapidly adopting cloud microservices platform and services included in it. The rise in demand for cloud microservices architecture is due to its various features such as less development time, easy deployment, reusability in different projects, better fault isolation, works well with containers, integration with third-party services, and easy to understand.

The report provides detailed insights into the global cloud microservices market, which is segmented on the basis of component (platform and service), deployment mode, organization size, vertical, and region. Among components, the platform segment is expected to hold a larger market size during the forecast period, as there is an increasing need for cloud microservices architecture in every vertical for scaling functions at a very granular level that results in an efficient system optimization and organization.
