API Management Recent Trends

on YouTube ↗29m

" summary

91% of surveyed organizations already use APIs, API management software was worth $4.4B in 2022 and grows ~14.5% yearly, and 29% name APIs their single biggest IT challenge; expect 30% of API traffic from AI agents by 2029. AI creates a new layer of complexity and drives demand for AI gateways (emerged ~18 months ago), MCP/context protocols (strong uptake but lacking security/versioning), and vendor tools that auto-generate docs, tests and governance — plan for catalogs, gateways and integration-platform support.
