Global Quality and Lifecycle Management Software Market Size Study & Forecast, by Deployment Type, Organization Size, Industry Vertical, Quality Management Type, and Regional Forecasts 2025-2035
Description
The Global Quality and Lifecycle Management Software Market is valued at approximately USD 153.79 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to expand at a stellar compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.42% over the forecast period 2025–2035. As businesses across the globe embrace digital transformation to streamline operations and ensure regulatory compliance, quality and lifecycle management (QLM) software emerges as a critical enabler. It orchestrates multiple facets of product lifecycle—from ideation to decommissioning—ensuring that every component, process, and regulation is aligned with corporate and industry standards. Increasing demands for efficiency, reduced time-to-market, real-time data insights, and seamless collaboration across the product lifecycle are propelling market growth.
Driving this rapid evolution is the heightened need for software solutions that can effectively manage testing, requirements tracking, risk management, and defect resolution across complex digital environments. Organizations are moving away from siloed quality systems and adopting integrated cloud-based QLM platforms that offer scalability and interoperability across departments. Moreover, the emergence of AI-driven analytics, automation, and DevOps practices have transformed traditional software testing and lifecycle approaches. This wave of technological innovation enables businesses to reduce operational risk, enhance product reliability, and accelerate delivery cycles—further embedding QLM solutions into the DNA of enterprise infrastructure.
Regionally, North America continues to dominate the QLM software market due to strong digital adoption across industries, a mature IT ecosystem, and the presence of leading software vendors. The region’s focus on regulatory compliance and customer satisfaction has fueled extensive adoption of end-to-end QLM platforms. Europe, on the other hand, showcases significant momentum, particularly in manufacturing and healthcare sectors, driven by the EU’s emphasis on quality and sustainability. Meanwhile, Asia Pacific is poised for the fastest growth, backed by industrial digitization in China and India, expanding tech hubs, and a burgeoning SME landscape increasingly relying on cloud-first solutions. Local governments’ initiatives to modernize manufacturing and enhance export quality standards are further augmenting software investments in the region.
