Industry Reports

Our annual large-scale surveys provide insights into several important areas of software development and software development practices, both general and specific.

JetBrains Industry and Market Research covers a wide range of studies on technology, business, and markets. To make sure JetBrains tools offer the best user experience, we need to understand the developers who use them. Therefore, we conduct large-scale, systematic research into the labor market of professional developers, the popularity of programming languages, and the working preferences of programmers.

Market Research & Analytics Team

We are fascinated by data and quantitative and qualitative research. We like to provide insights that are valuable to the community.

General Survey Methodology

We target our survey ads (on platforms including Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), LinkedIn, Instagram, Baidu, Reddit, Quora, Codefund, and others) in order to get responses from specific countries and from users of specific programming languages. Combining these methods allows us to get an objective picture of today’s developer world.

To minimize possible bias against non-English-speaking respondents, we make our surveys available in up to eight languages, typically including French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, and Turkish.

We perform up to three stages of weighting to get a more unbiased picture of the worldwide developer population.

More than 500,000 developers have taken part in our surveys since 2012. In just this past year over 60,000 developers from 150 countries have participated in our three large-scale surveys.
