TAdviser the Russian consulting The company has shared such results since May 27, 2024. Strategy Partners Analysts analyzed the growth rates of the global and, Russian IT market assessed the potential and predicted the development of the infrastructure software market, including in the context of different segments.

Among the key factors that determined the dynamics of the market, Strategy Partners named:
- closed the " window of uncertainty" about the possibilities of returning Western suppliers to the Russian market;
- reducing the ability of end users to extend the resource of infrastructure software unsupported by foreign suppliers;
- the level of technological maturity and the number of Russian products and solutions in the segments under consideration are growing;
- state policy stimulates the transition to domestic software.
In the largest segment of the market, in operating systems (OS), a stable composition of leaders among domestic suppliers has developed - Astra Group, Basalt and Red Soft. Their total share is 97% among Russian vendors: Astra Group - 76%, Basalt - 11%, Red Soft - 10%. The OS market itself will recover to the values of 2020-2021 already in 2024-2025, experts say.

The volume of the infrastructure software market will reach 100 billion rubles by the end of the year
The infrastructure market ON Russia , after a one-time drawdown in 2022, as a result of the departure of global vendors, returned to growth in 2023. According to the results of 2023, the infrastructure software market is projected to reach 100 billion rubles. and will demonstrate steady growth at the level of 17% per year on the horizon until 2030, according to the results of which, as expected, will grow to 270 billion rubles. Such data are given in the review Strategy Partners published in September 2023.
Sales of Russian developers in the infrastructure software market will grow at a faster pace until 2030: according to analysts at Strategy Partners, the CAGR will be 31%. The growth of requirements for information security and secure IT solutions will contribute to an increase in demand for domestic developments and the transition, including to certified IT products. The infrastructure software market will be saturated with Russian IT products: it is expected that the share of sales of Russian developers in the annual volume of the infrastructure software market will grow from 36% in 2022 to 90% in 2030.
Analysts also predict that an increase in demand for infrastructure software, accompanied by a significant increase in the penetration of Russian developers, will be observed in all segments of the corresponding market. The largest segments of infrastructure software - operating systems and DBMS - will grow by 18% and 15% per year, respectively. The current leaders in these market segments are Astra Group, BaseALT and Red Soft. At the same time, the emerging competition will vary from segment to segment, and import substitution and the transition to Russian solutions will proceed unevenly.
Countries seeking technological sovereignty are investing in the development of national infrastructure software:
According to forecasts of Strategy Partners experts, the business of Russian vendors in the infrastructure software market will grow in 1.8 times faster than the overall market.
It is expected that in 2023 the total revenue of Russian vendors will exceed the revenue of foreign companies. Given the impossibility of full promotion, sale and technical support of their solutions, foreign vendors will almost completely lose their positions by 2030. In turn, Russian infrastructure software by 2030 will take about 90% of annual sales in the domestic market. The pace of import substitution will slow down after 2026, when the B2G and B2G + segments will be saturated.
Entry into the Russian market of foreign products from "friendly" countries and their achievement of a significant share is unlikely due to regulatory barriers, the risk of secondary sanctions for foreign companies, and the continuation of the trend to import substitution.
The public sector (B2G and B2G +) and large businesses together occupy 73% of the infrastructure software market. Business (B2B) is characterized by a low level of penetration of domestic solutions; in the absence of reliable alternatives to Russian solutions, this is a strong incentive for business growth in this segment.
