Azul’s opportunity for growth is tremendous. In 2020 Bain published a survey showing the market for supported Java runtimes (addressed by Azul) is at least $2.5 billion and that 80% of senior Java decision-makers were looking for a better Java business partner—one that offers better support, value, and security. Azul addresses this market with a comprehensive line of OpenJDK based runtimes including the free open source Azul Builds of OpenJDK, our certified and supported Azul Platform Core, and Azul Platform Prime with turbocharged performance and scalability. This has created a growing installed base of Azul Java runtimes upon which we are now building new offerings like Azul Intelligence Cloud.

The Market

Azul’s opportunity for growth is tremendous. Early in 2020, the company published a survey conducted by Bain, which found that the current market for supported Java runtimes (addressed by Azul) is at least $2.5 billion and that 80% of senior Java decision-makers are looking for a better Java business partner—one that offers better support, value, and security. In May of 2020, the company issued a press release highlighting Bain’s findings, particularly the size of the company’s target market and the opportunity created by Oracle’s skyrocketing support costs as a result of their licensing changes in April 2019. Previously Oracle (and Sun before them) provided the Java runtime free-of-charge, but as of April 2019, Oracle no longer allowed free commercial use. This was alarming for companies around the world who counted on Java to run their businesses and were now expected to pay millions of dollars to Oracle; and a game-changer for Azul, who could support those very same organizations with OpenJDK, the open-source implementation of Java, at a fraction of the cost.
