Software Composition Analysis Market Drivers

Increasing Threats of Open Source Software offers benefits of integration, an expansive array of components

With the increasing usage of open source codes, the number of open source vulnerabilities as well as threats is rising, and to overcome the threats successfully, the adoption of software composition analysis is also increasing. Open source software (OSS) has its fair share of benefits such as ease of integration, expansive array of components, zero cost and others as well as vulnerabilities such as OSS license compliance risk, OSS security risks, OSS quality risk and others. These open source vulnerabilities are an extremely rewarding opportunity for the hackers. According to Sonatype’s sixth annual state of the software supply chain report published on August 2020, there is a 430% rise in next generation attacks targeting vulnerabilities of open source components directly in order to infect software supply chains. This type of vulnerabilities can be avoided by the deployment of software composition analysis which is affecting the adoption rate of SCA positively. Hence the above mentioned factor is set to drive the market during the forecast period 2021-2026.

Growing FinTech Sector across the World increase the SCA at a higher pace

Growing focus on Financial Technologies (FinTech) coupled with increasing adoption of IoT based services act as a major driver for this market. According to a report of Invest India, India has the fastest FinTech adoption rate globally of 87% which is significantly higher than the global average FinTech adoption rate of 64%. In addition, the report says that the Indian FinTech market is anticipated to grow from approximately $65 billion in 2019 to $140 billion in 2023. With the increasing use of digital banking, mobile banking, Electronic Clearing Service (ECS), National Electronic Fund Transfer (NEFT), Real-time Gross Settlement Systems (RTGS) and others, the financial data security threats are increasing. In June 2020, FBI published a report on Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), according to which 75% Americans used different banking apps last year and the numbers had increased by 8% in just two months. In January 2020, 15,000 credit and debit cards were cancelled by Alpha Bank, Piraeus Bank, Eurobank and the National Bank of Greece after a tourist service portal was hacked. SCA solutions and services offer enhanced security and safe transaction facilities against these types of threats which is a growth boosting factor for this market. Hence the increasing adoption of FinTech is analyzed to drive the market in the forecast period 2021-2026.
