The global serverless computing market size was valued at USD 21.90 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach from USD 25.25 billion in 2025 to USD 90.94 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 15.30% during the forecast period (2025-2033).
In serverless computing methodology, the management of the server is handled by the cloud provider and provides dynamic allocation of machine resources. Therefore, serverless architecture eliminates the requirement for server software and hardware management by the developer. In recent years, some major innovations in the IT industry enabled business agility and enhanced resilience. In such a scenario, serverless computing was introduced as an element for the deployment of cloud services and applications. For instance, the utilization of conventional cloud infrastructure to develop an application that checks credit score using mobile phones for mobile banking could take days and weeks for development and testing of the application. With the utilization of serverless computing such as AWS Lambda, similar applications can be developed in hours.
Owing to the reduced operational cost and increased process agility provided by the technology, the serverless computing market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 26% during the forecast period 2020–2029. Companies are pressurized to release innovative products and features that meet the growing consumer expectations due to the rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things, and machine learning. The serverless architecture provides benefits such as easier operational management, faster set up, and zero system administration. The adoption of serverless computing technology by business organizations eliminates expensive conventional and time-consuming approaches, including the purchase of new hardware components, their installation, configuration, and troubleshooting.
Serverless computing reduces the responsibility of server management, databases, and application logic, which eliminates set-up and maintenance costs and, in turn, enables productivity enhancement and faster product delivery. Serverless computing exploits cloud-based computing to its full potential and allows companies to concentrate on their core products and services instead of handling the traffic load on their IT infrastructure, thus enabling the user to run the application on a third-party server, which reduces deployment time. However, as the organization lacks control over the infrastructure, the addition of multiple customers to the same platform causes security threats, and it is estimated to pose a threat to market progression.
The rapid rise of the application development market also significantly contributes to market growth. The rise in demand for several applications, including Android and iOS, has created business opportunities for application developers. Increasing smartphone usage, coupled with the rise in BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) adoption, has led to the rise in demand for app development technologies. According to a research study by the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of app developers is expected to increase from 17% to 24% by the end of 2024. Serverless computing is projected as the ideal solution to build, test, and release applications with improved efficiency and productivity. Moreover, this serverless architecture enables organizations to focus on IT related work without underlying infrastructure issues such as server management, storage system management, and network management. This allows companies to concentrate on IT labor and invest their time in building products and solutions that address core business issues. Owing to the factors mentioned above, IT companies are adopting serverless computing, thereby driving the market growth.
