As more software is tested and the likelihood of a S/W development process is decreased, the market for MBT is anticipated to expand. Behavior models, which work well with both Agile and DevOps methodologies, can expedite validation in complicated projects.
The global Model Based Testing (MBT) Market is set for steady growth, projected to rise from a valuation of $1.16 billion in 2022 to an estimated $1.82 billion by 2032, according to a comprehensive report by Fact.MR. This expansion, driven by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6%, underscores the increasing adoption of MBT solutions to address the rising demand for advanced software testing amid rapid digitization across industries.
Surge in Software Development Fuels MBT Demand
The global push toward digitization is a primary driver of the model based testing market, as organizations strive to develop innovative software solutions to meet evolving consumer and business needs. MBT, which leverages models like finite state machines, state charts, and Unified Modeling Language (UML) to automate and streamline testing processes, reduces errors and enhances software quality. By enabling testers to amend modules without affecting dependencies, MBT minimizes development time and costs, making it a critical tool for industries such as automotive, IT, aerospace, and healthcare.
The report highlights that the growing complexity of software systems, driven by technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and the Internet of Things (IoT), is amplifying the need for robust testing frameworks. MBT’s ability to handle intricate software architectures and ensure reliability is fueling its adoption, particularly among enterprises seeking to maintain competitive edges in fast-paced markets.
Technological Advancements Enhance MBT Capabilities
Advancements in automation and AI-driven testing tools are transforming the model based testing landscape. The integration of ML and AI into MBT platforms enables predictive analytics and intelligent test case generation, improving testing efficiency and accuracy. For instance, Cyient launched its CyFAST AI-powered framework in June 2022, designed to accelerate end-to-end automation across platforms and devices, creating efficient testing environments. Similarly, Virtuoso, backed by a $13.3 million Series A funding round in November 2021, is focusing on integrating Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and ML to develop faster software testing tools.
The report notes that MBT’s automation capabilities reduce manual testing efforts, allowing organizations to achieve faster time-to-market while maintaining high-quality standards. However, the complexity of MBT tools and the need for highly skilled programmers pose challenges, as they increase implementation costs for some organizations. Despite these hurdles, the long-term benefits of reduced error rates and enhanced scalability are driving market growth.
Regional Insights: North America Leads, Asia Pacific Emerges
North America holds a significant share of the MBT market, accounting for 28.6% of global revenue in 2022, driven by the presence of leading technology companies and a strong emphasis on software innovation. The United States is a key contributor, with enterprises in sectors like IT, automotive, and aerospace adopting MBT to ensure software reliability. The region’s advanced technological infrastructure and substantial investments in research and development (R&D) further solidify its market leadership.
Asia Pacific is emerging as a high-growth region, with China projected to reach a market value of $119 million by 2032. The region’s growth is fueled by a robust automotive sector, expanding IT industry, and increasing demand for software testing solutions. Countries like India and Japan are witnessing rising adoption of MBT, driven by their focus on digital transformation and software-driven innovation. The report highlights that key players are targeting Asia Pacific to capitalize on its lucrative opportunities, particularly in emerging economies with strong technology ecosystems.
