Runtime Application Self-Protection Market size was over USD 1.19 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 47.55 billion by 2037, growing at around 32.8% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of runtime application self-protection is evaluated at USD 1.9 billion.
The growth of the market can be attributed to increasing demand for integrated security suites which is an important criterion for the growing complexity of network infrastructure. Applications have become an opportune target for hackers to penetrate into an organization and exploit a vulnerability in an application. According to a vulnerability statistics report, approximately 50% of internal application vulnerabilities and 32% of web application vulnerabilities are considered high or critical risks around the world.
Moreover, the implementation of a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policy, and enabling the use of personal devices such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets further increases the chances of cyberattacks. It is estimated that nearly 67% of employees around the world use their personal devices at work. This leads to fraudulent activities with data breaches and misuse of business data. RASP technology is a server-based technology that integrates with an application to deal with attacks in real time, providing more visibility into hidden vulnerabilities. These factors are further driving the growth of the RASP market.
Growth Drivers
Increasing Demand for Integrated Security Suites – Integration security provides organizations protection by minimizing the risk from threats that involve an integration process of the system. Multiway protection is provided by this system integration through interlinking the access control, video management, public address system, and alarm systems. Unlike firewalls, this system integration is expected to provide a multi-layered security system to organizations linking all the threat risks. The increasing cyberattacks across the world are estimated to boost market growth. As per the reports, the ransomware attacks in 2019 were raised by over 40% including more than 200,000 business organizations with loss of access to important files across the world.
Implementation of Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) Policy in Many Sectors – According to the estimations, BYOD was worth over USD 75 billion worldwide and more than 60% of business organizations observed productivity rise after using BYOD.
Rising Needed for Data Security Around the World with Many Cyber Attacks – As per the observations, cybersecurity and technology risk management are estimated to raise by over 11% by the end of 2023 around the globe.
Rising Use of Applications for Business and Other Works – According to the observations of 2022, over 80% of people across the U.S. are spending their time using applications on smartphones.

Component {Solutions (Web Applications, Mobile Applications)
The global runtime application self-protection (RASP) market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by component into solutions and services. The solutions segment is further divided into web applications, mobile applications, and others, out of which, the web applications segment is expected to witness high growth over the forecast period owing to their growing adoption due to increasing web application attacks. Attacks on web applications increased by about 800% within the first half of 2020, eight times higher than the same period in 2019 globally. Web applications raise several cybersecurity concerns, making them weak or vulnerable to attacks, which can give attackers direct access to a public database. The web application segment market is estimated to rise the market growth owing to the increasing security provided by them compared to other applications. The web applications can be operated directly online on the website without the need for installation or downloading. This prevents the risk of unwanted attacks, and virus entry, and saves so much loading time, and storage. Also, web applications can be customized based on the requirement and specifications of the customers. The scalability also increases the customer experience and satisfaction while using the applications. There are 50% of web visits across the world from mobiles and over 50% from desktops as of 2023 estimations.
Deployment Mode (On-premises, Cloud)
The global runtime application self-protection (RASP) market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by deployment mode into on-premises and cloud. The cloud segment is estimated to grow at the highest rate and hold the largest market share owing to the several benefits it provides to organizations with increased scalability such as reduced operational and maintenance costs, enhanced managing capabilities, and 24/7 services. The increasing number of internet users with rising penetration of the internet across the world and the increasing population using smartphones and laptops that need cloud servers to store huge data without any app installation is estimated to boost the market growth during the forecast period. About 5 billion people use the internet across the world as per the 2023 reports.
