What are the Key Software Containers Market Dynamics?

The adoption of software containers has been on a rising trajectory. With cloud computing becoming more mainstream, companies are rapidly adopting software containers to improve the overall efficiency of the application.

As all application files and necessary infrastructure are kept in one location and can be deployed consistently across any environment, software containers also offer cost savings by lowering hardware expenses, spiking the demand for the same. The inclination of market players toward software containers can also be owed to the fact that they provide consistency in the environment, swaying the adoption trends of software containers.

The market is also positively influenced by the track of different versions of application code, which can help inspect the difference between several versions. On the flip side, one of the major challenges dwindling the software containers market size is persistent storage which occurs when containers running databases are used in production setups.

Furthermore, the software containers market is likely to dip on account of networking issues related to software containers.

Why is North America Expected to Lead the Software Containers Market?

By 2022, North America is anticipated to dominate with a software containers market share of 27.3%.

Due to the aggressive adoption of cloud-native technologies in the area by vendors, as well as their cooperation with other technology providers, the U.S. significantly contributed to the market revenue.

For instance, Google Inc. partnered with hybrid cloud data services provider NetApp to gain high-performance and cloud-native storage capabilities.

In order to provide a brand-new, fully-managed cloud solution, Red Hat, Inc. and Atos Managed OpenShift (AMOS), a provider of digital services, announced their partnership.
