With an exponential increase in the number of apps and smart devices required in the digital world, businesses need to expose more data through APIs, so that they can provide rich, personalized app experiences both for internal users, customers, and partners. Organizations across all industries need a robust life cycle API management solution that helps them measure the performance of their API-driven businesses. The solutions segment of the API management market has been segmented into API platform, API analytics, and API security. The need among organizations to seamlessly integrate system and components with apps and devices is driving the demand of API management solutions.
Cloud-based services reduce the overall costs, while providing highly flexible and scalable access to solutions. Companies are deploying API management solutions on cloud to improve mobility and accelerate the API development cycle. Security of APIs is higher in on-premises deployment type; however, cloud-based API management solution enables organizations to reduce the costs related to the solution, storage, and technical staff. Due to these advantages, many vendors are switching from on-premises deployment mode to the SaaS-based software.
The industry vertical segment in the API management market comprises BFSI, IT and telecom, retail and consumer goods, travel and transportation, government, media and entertainment, healthcare and life sciences, manufacturing, and others (including education, and energy and utilities). Among these, the BFSI industry vertical is expected to hold the largest market size, as enterprises in this vertical are adopting API management solutions to build a lean, flexible, and efficient approach and streamline their digital business for banking, insurance, trading, capital markets, and payments.
North America is expected to hold the largest market size and dominate the API management market from 2018 to 2023. The North American region has the highest adoption rate for technologies, such as cloud, IoT, mobility, big data, analytics, and digital transformation. The presence of a large number of API management solution vendors, continuous advancements in technology, and availability of proficient technical expertise are some of the factors contributing to the growth of the market in North America. APAC is expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the API management vendors, as the enterprises in the APAC region are leveraging APIs to strengthen the necessary elements for success in the application economy. However, dearth of skilled developers for developing and implementing API management solution in various regions could affect the growth of the market.
