North America Application Container Market Outlook

The North America application container market size reached approximately USD 1.73 billion in 2023. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 23.3% between 2024 and 2032, reaching a value of around USD 11.88 billion by 2032.

Key Takeaways

  • Reportedly, over 90% of organisations are expected to run containerised applications in production by 2027.
  • Containerised applications play a pivotal role in enhancing IT operational efficiency, digital transformation, and cloud migration.
  • The technology sector maintains its position as the leading adopter of application containers and is poised to dominate the market.

Application container refers to a virtualisation app that offers an isolated environment to build, deploy, and manage applications across different environments. It utilises fewer resources compared to standard virtual machines (VM) and offers higher security through the isolation of applications and rapid deployment of apps to other platforms.

The growing usage of Kubernetes in application containerisation for the automation, deployment, and scaling of applications in containers and ensuring their seamless operation is one of the major factors driving the North America application container market growth. This open-source platform can automate routine tasks, reduce manual errors during deployment, and allow the DevOps (development and operation) team to focus on other important tasks.

Key Trends and Developments

The North America application container market growth is being driven by the deployment of application containers in a hybrid cloud; rising focus on boosting container platform security; the rising popularity of CaaS; and advancements in containerisation technology

Oct 4th 2023

Docker introduced Docker Debug and Docker Build, enabling engineers to develop containers faster while simplifying specialised tasks like building applications made of numerous containers.

Sep 20th 2023

Oracle announced new capabilities such as Oracle Cloud Guard Container Governance to support developers to simplify Kubernetes operations and configuration of containerised workloads deployed on Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE).

Oct 17th 2022

Oracle announced Virtual Nodes capability for Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE) and the preview availability of OCI Container Instances to simplify operations of container-based applications in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).

May 27th 2021

Amazon Web Services announced the general availability of Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) Anywhere to enable customers to manage and run container-based applications on-premises, on any customer-managed infrastructure, or AWS.

The deployment of application containers in a hybrid cloud

Enterprises are leveraging application containers in hybrid cloud environments for the smooth transfer of workload between the on-premises and cloud ecosystems.

Growing popularity of container as a service (CaaS)

Container as a service (CaaS) is increasingly gaining popularity as it offers enhanced scalability, provides enhanced security and scalability, enables users to pay for resources used, and eliminates the need to test container infrastructure and build clusters.

Increasing focus on boosting container platform security

As container environments require continuous monitoring and are highly dynamic, there is a rising adoption of security measures to mitigate risks, enhance vulnerability management, and secure containers.

Advancements in containerisation technology

Advancements in containerisation technology aimed at reducing infrastructural costs, enhancing scalability, and driving application security are expected to aid the North America application container market expansion.

The rising popularity of container as a service (CaaS), which is a cloud-based platform that simplifies containerised applications so the developers can focus on the deployment of code, also offers support to the North America application container market demand. It offers a pay-as-you-go price model in which organisations only pay for the resources they consume and save the overhead cost.

Increased efforts by market players to enhance the security of container platforms is another crucial trend aiding the market expansion. For example, in May 2022, Docker Inc., a US-based cloud service provider, acquired Nestybox, a company that offers enhanced isolation for containers, to strengthen and develop new security capabilities for application containers.
