The linux operating system market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $6.48 billion in 2023 to $7.8 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.4%. The expansion observed in the previous period can be ascribed to the adoption of an open-source philosophy, cost efficiency, stability, reliability, customization options, flexibility, and robust security features.

The linux operating system market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $15.63 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.0%. Anticipated growth in the upcoming period can be linked to the expansion of educational institutions, integration of AI and machine learning, competitive dynamics alongside proprietary systems, increased adoption of mobile and edge computing, and the advancement of user-friendly interfaces. Major trends expected in this period encompass the integration of IoT and embedded systems, dominance of servers and data centers, fostering a developer-friendly environment, ongoing innovation and updates, and a focus on compatibility and interoperability.

The growing demand for open-source operating systems is poised to drive the Linux operating system market. Open-source systems grant users access to and editing capabilities for a product's source code. Linux, as an open-source OS, particularly supports high-volume and multithreading applications, making it well-suited for personal productivity computing on desktops. Notably, a report from ZipDo in June 2023 projected the global open-source software market value to reach $47.74 billion in 2021. Additionally, 96.3% of the top 1 million global websites operate on open-source software, evidencing its widespread adoption. With 78% of companies embracing open-source technology, its increasing significance bolsters the growth of the Linux OS market.

The surge in adopting emerging technologies is expected to propel the Linux operating system market. Emerging technologies encompass innovative advancements that significantly impact industries and societies. Linux plays a pivotal role in implementing these advancements, given its open-source nature, flexibility, and robust security features. This OS serves as an ideal platform for developing and deploying cutting-edge technologies, from AI and machine learning to blockchain, IoT devices, and cloud computing infrastructure. ClickLearn's article in October 2023 projected global spending on emerging tech to exceed $2.8 trillion by 2025, more than doubling the 2020 allocation. This surge fuels the growth of Linux OS in line with emerging technology adoption.

Product innovation emerges as a key trend propelling the Linux operating system market. Major players in this market focus on developing innovative solutions to reinforce their market positions. In November 2023, Red Hat, a US-based software company, launched Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.3, the latest version of the leading enterprise Linux platform. This version emphasizes advancements in container innovation, enhanced management services via Red Hat Insights, and full support for Stratis as a system storage option. These versions aim to meet present IT demands while facilitating future innovations without requiring extensive procedural changes.

Strategic partnerships among major companies serve as a driver for strengthening positions in the Linux operating system market. These collaborations, forged through business agreements, bolster market presence. For instance, in May 2022, Red Hat partnered with General Motors to advance software-defined vehicles at the edge. The alliance centers on developing an innovation ecosystem based on Red Hat In-Vehicle Operating System, augmenting GM's Ultifi software platform. General Motors, a multinational automotive manufacturing company, collaborates to expand functional-safety-certified Linux OS offerings.

In July 2021, Sophos, a UK-headquartered company specializing in security software and hardware, completed the acquisition of Capsule8 for an undisclosed sum. This strategic move aims to bolster the offerings in detection and response solutions, particularly focusing on fortifying server and cloud environments running Linux systems that have been traditionally under protected or overlooked.
