STAMFORD, Conn., April 29, 2010 View All Press Releases Worldwide project application development (AD) software revenue fell to $7.25 billion in 2009, a decrease of 2 percent from 2008 revenue of $7.39 billion, according to Gartner, Inc.
"One of the main reasons for the decline in revenue in the AD market in 2009 was the de facto spending freeze on new projects in the early part of the year, which caused organizations to cut spending on new tools to support any new projects," said Laurie Wurster, research director at Gartner. "AD tool spending tends to be cyclical in nature with strong years of spending, as we saw in 2007, followed by a year or two of low or reduced investment. " Ms. Wurster said that despite the restrictions imposed on AD spending due to the recession, the ongoing need to invest in security testing was one of the key drivers for the market.
