A guide to continuous integration and continuous delivery tools

The increasing need for automation in the development and deployment of applications, growing importance of software applications in business ecosystems, and rising shift toward application modernization architectures and technologies are expected to be the major factors driving the growth of the market. The increasing focus of organizations on accelerating the time-to-market is expected to drive the market.
The scope of this report covers the continuous delivery market analysis by deployment mode, organization size, vertical, and region. Continuous Delivery practice tools target phases, such as coding and building, testing and quality assurance, managing and deployment, support and maintenance, and collaboration and communication. Continuous Delivery software identified in the study targets several stages, such as continuous integration, continuous testing, and release automation. The benefits of continuous delivery practices allow businesses to accelerate their delivery cycles and reduce mean time to repair, thereby resulting in the increasing adoption of continuous delivery software.


The on-premises deployment mode is estimated to hold the larger market share in 2018, owing to better confidential information control and security from external attacks as systems are held internal to organizations. The cloud technology is steadily gaining acceptance from various enterprises across the globe, as cloud-based software and applications are cost-efficient and can be deployed even in a basic IT infrastructure. The large enterprises segment is expected to dominate the continuous delivery market. APAC is the hub for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), hence SMEs in this region would adopt continuous delivery tools rapidly, which in turn, is expected to boost the growth of the overall market within the next 5 years.
The media and entertainment vertical is expected to hold the largest market share in the continuous delivery market. The increase in the number of electronic gadgets, such as laptops, smartphones, home theatres, and other portable devices, is expected to be one of the major factors that is responsible for the growth of this vertical in the market. The other factors that are said to fuel the growth of the media and entertainment vertical are the advent of digital media content and digital media platforms.
Continuous Delivery Market
As per the geographic analysis, North America is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. This can be attributed to the continuous delivery software that is already penetrated in this region. North America is expected to be the most mature region for the growth of the continuous delivery market, due to the adoption of agile development, focus on faster time-to-market, and the explosion of mobile and web applications. The North American region comprises the US and Canada which are also witnessing the significant adoption of continuous delivery solutions. In fact, these countries are expected to have a major dominance in the market, due to their sustainable and well-established economies which empower them to make huge investments in R&D activities, thereby contributing to the development of new applications.
The major factor that is expected to restrain the growth of the continuous delivery market is the presence of open source tools and projects that are available in the market. These open source tools and projects are dominating commercial solutions in volumes. The major vendors covered in the market include Atlassian (Australia), IBM (US), XebiaLabs (US) Electric Cloud (US), CA Technologies (US), Chef Software (US), Puppet (US), CloudBees (US), Microsoft (US), and Flexagon (US).
