According to the latest industry data, the Agile Transformation Services market is on track to hit $137B by 2030. But the real question is—how much of that growth will come from the SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework)?
Forecasting SAFe’s Market Share Growth:
We combined two key data sources:
Market Growth Projections from the Global Agile Transformation Services report (2019–2030).
Adoption Patterns from the latest State of SAFe report, which shows that 62% of organizations are actively using or adapting SAFe.
Prediction Methodology:
We used a linear-plus-saturation forecast, a method commonly applied to innovation adoption curves:
SAFe adoption grew rapidly from 2018 to 2024, entering the early majority phase (Moore's Crossing the Chasm).
We extrapolated that growth, assuming continued adoption but at a slightly slower pace as the market matures.
Projections estimate SAFe adoption reaching ~90% by 2030 among enterprises adopting Agile-at-scale frameworks.
Why this makes sense:
SAFe is no longer in startup phase—it’s becoming enterprise default.
AI, product operating models, and government transformation are fueling adoption.
The chasm is crossed. Now it’s about scale, integration, and industry specialization (hardware, government, etc.).
Key Takeaway:
SAFe isn’t just keeping up—it’s becoming the backbone of scaled agile delivery. As the market grows, so does the share of organizations standardizing on SAFe to enable enterprise-wide agility.
Do you think SAFe will dominate the Agile-at-scale space by 2030—or will another framework rise to challenge it?
