The global integration & orchestration middleware market is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. Factors such as growing adoption of cloud-based middleware solutions and emerging technologies like microservices are expected to drive the market growth. Additionally, increasing demand for Application Programming Interface (API) management, application integration, and B2B integration across industries is further augmenting the demand. Growing digital transformation initiatives by companies and increasing connectivity through Internet of Things is also contributing to the market growth. The market players are investing in innovations and new product development to strengthen their market position.

For instance, in 2023, IBM, an American multinational technology company planned to launch a new cloud-based hybrid integration platform with enhanced API management capabilities. However, data privacy & security concerns related to cloud-based services may hinder the market growth.

Rising adoption of IoT across industries

The growing adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions across industries is opening up new opportunities for integration and orchestration middleware. IoT connects numerous physical devices like sensors, healthcare devices, industrial devices, and others to the internet. This generates vast amounts of data that needs to be transferred, processed, and analyzed for extracting valuable insights. Integration and orchestration middleware helps in seamlessly connecting different systems, databases, and applications for enabling data exchange between IoT devices and various other IT systems. It facilitates real-time data integration from diverse endpoints and orchestrates different tasks and workflows for the smooth operation of the IoT infrastructure.

Several industries are implementing IoT at a massive scale to optimize business processes, improve productivity, and offer enhanced customer experiences. For example, smart manufacturing is leveraging IoT sensors on machines for predictive maintenance, remote monitoring and upgrading production lines. Similarly, connected healthcare is benefiting from IoT-enabled medical devices, remote patient monitoring systems and electronic health records. Integration middleware plays a pivotal role in these implementations by allowing bi-directional data exchange between different IoT components, cloud platforms, data lakes, and analytics systems. It manages high data volume and variety in real-time while ensuring reliability, security, and scalability of IoT infrastructure. As more industries digitally transform, the demand for integration middleware that can seamlessly tie together multifaceted IoT deployments will significantly increase in the coming years.

For instance, in September 2020, Oracle,  designs, manufactures, and sells both software and hardware products and offers services that complement them (such as financing, training, consulting, and hosting services) announced the integration of Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) with Oracle Autonomous Database, further enhancing the capabilities of Oracle's cloud-based integration platform.

Move towards hybrid IT environments

In the current digital era, organizations are adopting hybrid IT models to leverage the power of both on-premises and cloud-based systems simultaneously. This brings together the scalability, flexibility and cost benefits of cloud with security and control advantages of on-premises infrastructure. However, managing hybrid environments poses unique integration challenges due to complex technology landscapes that span physical and virtual systems, private and public clouds as well as legacy and modern applications. This is where integration and orchestration middleware become indispensable. It provides comprehensive tools and capabilities for enabling seamless data exchange, streamlined workflows, and unified management across different environments.

Some key roles played by integration middleware include data mapping and transformation, API management, monitoring, routing tasks between distributed systems and building microservices. This helps bridge the gap between on-premises data centers and multi-cloud platforms.
