The Russian software development industry continues to grow steadily. According to Rosstat, in May 2026, the turnover of companies engaged in software development, consulting, and related IT services increased by 28% compared to May last year, reaching 545.4 billion rubles.

The dynamics for the first five months of the year look even more significant. From January to May, the turnover of software developers grew by 41% compared to the same period in 2025. This is one of the highest indicators among major sectors of the digital economy.
