Overview

 

Key Market Findings

• The application infrastructure and middleware (AIM) market grew by 13.7% to $45.9 billion in 2021, adding $5.5 billion in revenue from $40.4 billion in 2020. The market grew somewhat in line with the average worldwide software market growth rate of 15.9% amid the declining or slowing adoption of various AIM subsegments. These include application integration suites, application platform software, B2B gateway software, business process management suites (BPMSs), managed file transfer (MFT) suites, and transaction processing monitors (TPMs).
• Three AIM encompassing technologies emerged within the top 10 fastest-growing software segments in 2021 — integration platform as a service (iPaaS) as the second-fastest segment (40.2%), robotic process automation (RPA) as the seventh-fastest segment (30.9%), and full life cycle API management (FLAPIM) as the eighth-fastest segment (26.7%).
• High-productivity application platform as a service (hpaPaaS) continued to be the largest AIM segment behind the miscellaneous segment, called other AIM, with 13.9% share in 2021. hpaPaaS is followed by iPaaS and application platform software, which had 10.4% and 9.2% shares, respectively, in 2021.
