The phenomenal rise of Mobile DevOps Engineering mirrors the digitization wave sweeping industries globally. In 2021, the title ‘DevOps Engineer’ reigned supreme among job listings, signaling a growing appetite for the field. As the Mobile DevOps market scales from $7 billion in 2021 to a projected $51 billion by 2030, the demand for skilled engineers shows no signs of abating.
Cues from 2022 reveal an 11% surge in app downloads and a 14% escalation in mobile ad spending. Additionally, recruiters express a strong preference for candidates possessing DevOps skills (35.55%) and mobile development expertise (23.37%). These trends point to a 21% predicted growth in DevOps engineer roles by 2028, accompanied by escalating industry expectations.
Today, businesses bank on mobile as a primary revenue stream, necessitating the need for efficient Mobile DevOps engineers. The relentless consumer demand for speedy, error-free app deployment and heightened competition in the mobile space only amplify this need. Given that nearly 81% of mobile apps are prone to cyberattacks, a robust DevSecOps strategy is essential, fueling the projected growth of the global DevSecOps market to $23.16 billion by 2029.
Efficient Mobile DevOps tools such as Bitrise prove pivotal in enhancing operational speed, quality, and return on investment.
