Software Composition Analysis Market Set to Grow at 7.20% CAGR Through 2030

As digital transformation accelerates across industries, the pace of software development is undergoing a major shift. Organizations are increasingly adopting fully digital workflows and cloud-native development models, aiming to deliver applications faster and with greater flexibility. According to the latest insight from QKS Group, the Software Composition Analysis (SCA) market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.20% through 2030, reflecting rising demand for enhanced software security, compliance automation, and supply chain risk visibility.

Why SCA is Becoming Essential in Modern Software Development

Today’s software landscape is heavily dependent on third-party components. Instead of building applications entirely from scratch, organizations now rely on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) tools and open-source software (OSS) libraries to speed up development, reduce costs, and enable frequent updates. This approach aligns with agile methodologies, DevOps, and the rising expectations for constant feature enhancement.

However, what accelerates development also introduces complexity and risk.

Open-source libraries, while powerful and cost-efficient, often contain:

·       Known vulnerabilities

·       Licensing obligations

·       Outdated or unpatched components

·       Unknown external dependencies

For DevSecOps teams, the challenge becomes balancing innovation speed with security rigor. Developers need to integrate third-party elements rapidly, while security teams must ensure every component is safe, compliant, and does not introduce hidden exposure.

The Rising Threat of Software Supply Chain Vulnerabilities

Cyberattacks targeting software supply chains are growing in scale and sophistication. Incidents such as Log4Shell highlighted how a single unpatched open-source component embedded across millions of systems can create widespread damage.

Organizations without visibility into their component dependencies face:

·       Intellectual property risk

·       Regulatory and compliance failure

·       Reputation damage

·       Operational disruption

·       Increased remediation cost

This is where Software Composition Analysis plays a crucial role.

SCA as a Critical Layer of DevSecOps Strategy

Software Composition Analysis platforms automatically scan and detect vulnerabilities, outdated components, and licensing risks within OSS and COTS libraries. They provide real-time insights into the security posture of every dependency within the codebase, enabling earlier remediation and cleaner CI/CD pipelines.

Key capabilities of modern SCA platforms include:

·       Automated vulnerability detection and alerts

·       License compliance tracking

·       SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) generation

·       Integration with CI/CD, IDEs, and issue tracking tools

·       Prioritized risk scoring to reduce noise

By integrating SCA into the development lifecycle, organizations can innovate faster without sacrificing security.

Looking Ahead

As regulatory bodies implement stricter compliance standards — including mandates for SBOMs — and software supply chain attacks continue to rise, the need for automated SCA solutions will only intensify. With a forecasted 7.20% CAGR through 2030, the SCA market is positioned for steady and sustained growth.

Organizations that adopt SCA now will gain a competitive edge: stronger security posture, lower development risk, and faster deployment cycles. In a world built on software, visibility and control over every component matter — and SCA is becoming the new standard for resilient, secure digital innovation.
