The report offers a comprehensive analysis of key segments, trends, drivers, restraints, competitive landscape, and factors that are playing a substantial role in the market.

Global Patch Management Market Definition

The process of distributing and applying updates to software is known as Patch Management. Sometimes software is created but there reside lots of bugs inside it. These patches are used to clear out the bugs. Companies after preparing the software test it in various scenarios. However, some of the real-time scenarios get missed. In the real-time production system when these errors are encountered then the software shows errors. That is why the company makes the patch and releases them. Generally, patches are prepared for Operating Systems, Applications, and Embedded Systems.

Global Patch Management Market Overview

In the software industry, there is a growing trend for automation. Software companies are trying to come up with comprehensive solutions. They are integrating all the manual work and trying to tie them up with integrating measures. In the conventional process, extensive human engagement is required. Every time the software application needs to be updated with the new features for complying with the standards. In the automated process, the application will always be updated with the latest standards, security, and better system insights.

These features are boosting the market. Another major concern for the patching is the need to update the security. IT companies frequently face the risk of cyber-attacks for breaching data. To protect the systems, Software Applications are constantly updated with the latest standards of security in an automated way. This in turn is acting as another important market driver.

Government sectors are also investing heavily in patch management to update the security of their system and protect them from foreign threats. This is also a big market driving factor. Lack of the proper skillsets for complex issues is expected to hinder the market growth. There is a lack of standardization also. However, the increasing use of Smartphones, Tablets, and Laptops is providing a good market opportunity.

Global Patch Management MarketSegmentation Analysis

The Global Patch Management Market is Segmented on the basis of Vertical, Deployment, And Geography.

Patch Management Market, By Vertical

• BFSI
• Telecom
• Retail
• CPG
• Media & Communication
• Utilities
• Healthcare
• Others

Based on Vertical, the market is segmented into BFSI, Telecom, Retail, CPG, Media & Communication, Utilities, Healthcare, and Others. Among the segments, BFSI has the highest use in the Patch Management Market. This is because of the increasing risk of cyber-attacks from foreign agencies that make the system highly vulnerable. Banks and other Financial Institution deals with Customer Confidential Data and the data breach may cause severe threats to the Banking system including Hacking and Cyber fraud. So, the need for Patching is highly important over there for updating the systems to the latest standards and updating the security.

Patch Management Market, By Deployment

• On-Premise
• Cloud

Based on Deployment, the market is segmented into On-Premise and Cloud. Among the segments, On-Premise has a huge market share. This is because of the risks associated with the Cloud Application for different sensitive organizations like Defense, BFSI, and other Government Agencies. On-Premise is a traditional form and most organization has separate resources with dedicated credentials working on that system. This keeps the security at par with the standards.

Patch Management Market, By Geography

• North America
• Europe
• Asia Pacific
• Rest of the World

On the basis of Geography, the Global Patch Management Market is classified into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the world. Among the regions, Europe has the highest market share. There is a dedicated body called ENISA, which is working with the European Cyber Secure. From the government level, there have been regulations to maintain the standards and there are frequent checks about the systems status. Besides this, the awareness is also more among the organizations, so the market is much more over there.
