Booming Generative AI Market Forecast: From $0.69 to $2.92 Billion by 2030

Booming Generative AI Market Forecast: From $0.69 to $2.92 Billion by 2030 Dublin, July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Generative AI in Software Development Lifecycle Market Report 2026" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The generative AI in software development lifecycle market has experienced remarkable growth, expanding from $0.69 billion in 2025 to an estimated $0.96 billion in 2026, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 38.6%. This growth stems from the increased adoption of agile and DevOps methodologies, the rising complexity of software systems, and the demand for expeditious release cycles. Furthermore, cloud-native application development and early use of automation tools have contributed significantly to this expansion.

Looking ahead, the market is projected to surge to $2.92 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 32.2%. This growth is driven by rising investments in AI-powered platforms, demand for secure applications, expansion in continuous integration automation, and a heightened focus on developer productivity. Key trends include the adoption of AI-based code generation tools, automated testing, AI-driven refactoring, and integration of generative AI in DevOps pipelines, all underscoring an emphasis on software quality and reliability.

The drive towards automation is a pivotal force behind the market's expansion. Automation enhances operational efficiency, reduces costs, minimizes errors, and boosts productivity by streamlining repetitive tasks like code generation, testing, and optimization. For instance, a report by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in November 2024 noted a significant rise in enterprise AI adoption, with EU27 firms seeing an increase in post-Gen AI adoption from 4% in 2022-2023 to 28%.

Innovation in the sector is vibrant, with key players striving to enhance software security and drive growth through AI-powered solutions. In June 2023, Harness Inc. launched AIDA, an AI Development Assistant that helps developers by autonomously generating code snippets, resolving build failures, and managing cloud costs. This underscores the crucial role of AI in boosting efficiency and productivity across the development lifecycle.

Strategic acquisitions are also shaping the landscape, as evidenced by Databricks Inc.'s acquisition of MosaicML in July 2023 for approximately $1.3 billion. This acquisition aims to broaden access to generative AI, empowering organizations to utilize proprietary data for developing secure AI models, positioning Databricks as a leader in the space.

Major players in the market include Microsoft Corporation, IBM, Atlassian Corporation Plc, GitHub Inc., and others. Geographically, North America dominated the market in 2025, with Asia-Pacific anticipated to be the fastest-growing region during the forecast period. Regional challenges, such as tariffs impacting costs of imported cloud services and hardware, are being met with increased regional investments and innovative tools to mitigate costs.
