What is the market size for mobile application security testing?
Hi! Thank you for your request to research the global market size in USD for mobile application security testing (Mobile AST).
The short version is that after searching extensively through market research reports, analysis and white papers, I’ve determined that the information you requested is not publicly available because it is locked behind paywalls. However, I was able to learn the market size for mobile application security as well as the magic quadrant for application security testing including mobile.
Below you will find a deep dive of my research and methodology.
METHODOLOGY
To answer your query I searched exhaustively for market research reports dealing with application security testing specifically for mobile. I found several market research for AST but though these separate mobile solutions from web solutions, no specific information about individual market size for either web or mobile was given in preview versions. I learned that this information is locked up behind the report paywall for every market research I checked.
While I could not find a direct answer to your question, I was able to gather some information about this topic, which I think will be helpful for your project.
MARKET SIZE - GLOBAL
In "Application Security Market by Component - Global Forecast to 2021" Markets & Markets reports that the market size for the global security market was $2.24 billion in 2016 and projected to grow to $6.77 billion by 2021 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 24.8%. However, this figure is for web- and mobile-based application solutions combined.
Focusing on mobile only, Markets & Markets reports in the "Mobile Application Security Market - Global Forecast to 2020" that the market was estimated at $808.8 million in 2015 and projected to reach $2.53 billion by 2020 at a CAGR of 25.7%. However, the report did not differentiate the market size for testing only and instead gives the overall market size for solutions (Anti-virus & Anti-theft, Data Recovery and Others).
MAGIC QUADRANT
I also located a report from Gartner analyzing the magic quadrant for application security testing in 2014. According to Gartner, the leaders in Web/cloud/mobile application security testing are IBM, HP, WhiteHat Security, and Veracode. Challengers include Trustwave, Qualys, and Checkmarx. Niche players include N-Stalker, Acunetis and Virtual Forge while Visionaries include Appthority, Contrast Security, Quotium, and Pradeo.

CONCLUSION
To wrap it up, after searching extensively through market research reports, analysis and white papers, a direct answer to your question is not publicly available because it is locked behind paywalls. However I learned the market size for mobile application security as well as the magic quadrant for application security testing including mobile.
