The global crowdsourcing test market is predicted to reach USD 1,895 billion in 2024 and USD 3,039 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 9.9% during the forecast period.
Crowdsourced Testing includes transferring software test tasks via an Internet platform to expert quality control testers. It is an effective way to streamline the production of interactive software and to improve Internet products and development software. These crowdsourcing tests offer various benefits, such as flexibility, cross-platform real-world tests, and instantaneity.
The Internet is the engine of the modern crowdsourcing platform. It provides a transmission mechanism allowing organizations to define or announce challenges and a network to connect people and their diverse ideas, skills, and knowledge. According to the social media management platform Hootsuite, nearly 4.57 billion people were active Internet users in April 2020, covering 59% of the world's population. In the platform-sourced testing market, mobile testing services are expected to experience the highest growth rate over the forecast period. The number of mobile applications that adapt to different operating systems (OS), such as Android and iOS, has massively increased.
Global Crowdsourced Testing Market Drivers:
The global crowdsourced testing market is fueled by the growing need for companies to manage software quality assurance for a better customer experience. Also, as it is a cost-effective form of testing, crowdsourcing is a preferred option among small and medium-sized businesses. However, management, data security, and confidentiality issues are some of the factors that could limit the growth of the market. As customers search for better quality standards for various products and services, the need for an efficient testing process has increased, which is stimulating the overall market.
Large companies are expected to maintain a larger market size over the forecast period as this helps them achieve a high level of quality assurance, speed up the development and launch process, and streamline error handling. These are essential for development teams and help improve the quality and agility of the overall organization. Open innovation strategies have long been the norm for some large companies. For example, P&G's "Connect + Develop" has enabled the company to enter into more than 2,000 successful agreements with innovation partners worldwide. Additionally, companies like Global App Testing provide quality control for some of the world's largest companies, including Facebook, Microsoft, and Warner Bros, and help deliver much better applications.
Impact of COVID-19 on the global crowdsourced testing market:
The influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on the computer industry is expected to be worse than the global financial crisis (GFC). The financial loss due to COVID-19 should, in turn, affect customers' IT expenses. This fear is justified, given that the United States and Europe, which together account for more than two-thirds of India's information technology exports, are among the geographies most affected by the pandemic. Customers could cut IT spending significantly this year, which would impact the crowdsourced testing market.
