Technology and infrastructure vendors have started realizing the importance of innovative technologies, such as cloud, big data, mobile, social, and sensors and have been investing heavily for the adoption of RASP. Runtime application self-protection solutions help organizations protect their sensitive applications and comply with stringent regulations. Several SMEs and large enterprises have been spending on cybersecurity, due to the rising issues of security breaches. The rising number of cyber threats and attacks at the application layer, expanding web and mobile applications, and strict government by-laws are estimated to further expand the market expansion for RASP among SMEs in the forecast period 2020-2025.

North America dominated the Runtime Application Self-Protection Market in 2019 with a share of 38%, followed by Europe and APAC. Increasing penetration of internet and growth in the incidents of attacks on enterprise applications are driving the need of runtime application self-protection solutions. Moreover, rapid economic growth in the developing countries, along with improved regulatory reforms and economic stability is driving the runtime application self-protection market growth in this region. Several companies have been raising funds for the advancements in RASP. In 2019, Greylock led a $14 million investment in application security startup Sqreen. Similarly, Hdiv Security, secured a $1M investment led by Adara Ventures. Hence these advancements are analyzed to drive the market for Runtime Application Self-Protection Market in the forecast period 2020-2025.

Implementation of bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policy is one of the primary drivers of the global RASP security market.

The implementation of bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policy is one of the primary drivers of the global RASP security market. BYOD policy enables the use of personal devices such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets for business purposes. This increases the productivity of employees and helps them manage their travel time. Moreover, the implementation of BYOD policy also reduces the operational costs of the companies. However, the use of BYOD policy increases the chance of cyber-attacks which may lead to fraud-related issues and misuse of confidential business data. RASP can make BYOD less of a security challenge for an IT department. Moreover, Mobile apps which are widely in these factors have led to an increase in the demand for deception technology solutions such as RASP security and other. Hence increase in demand for BYOD will drive the market for RASP market in the forecast period 2020-2025.

The increasing demand for integrated security suites is one of the key trends of the global RASP security market. Since opting for different security suites may lead to integration issues, end-users prefer integrated security suites. Moreover, the growing complexity of network infrastructure has made integration an important purchase criterion, resulting in high adoption of integrated security suites. This high demand for integrated suites increases the need for RASP security as well as it enables real-time application protection by blocking malicious attacks. These factors will positively boost the market for Runtime Application Self-Protection Market in the forecast period 2020-2025.

Although RASP is analyzed to grow at a high CAGR, Limited security budget among the organizations is acting as a major inhibitor in the growth of the market. Limited budget in organizations to deploy cutting-edge security solutions is becoming a major restraint for the growth of the market. The Research and Development (R&D) expenses to develop advanced runtime application self-protection solutions are very high, which lead to high pricing of the security solutions. As the frequency of security breaches has increased over the past 5 years, organizations have increased their IT security investments to protect against advanced threats. However, for many enterprises, including SMEs, these investment costs are a matter of concern. In addition, for strong and advanced security, the cost of innovation is still high, and many organizations view budgetary constraints as a barrier to growth in the runtime application self-protection market in the forecast period 2020-2025.

Product Launches, acquisitions and R&D activities are key strategies adopted by players in the Runtime Application Self-Protection market. Runtime Application Self-Protection Market top 10 companies include Arxan, Contrast Security, Guardsquare, Immunio, Micro Focus, Pradeo, Prevoty, Promon, Runsafe Security, Signal Sciences, and Vasco among others.
