Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, Competitive Analysis, Player Profiling, Regulation Analysis |
The growing need for application software in the healthcare industry owing to the COVID-19 pandemic is primarily driving the global application development software market growth. Unlike most other industries, the software business has fared quite well throughout the COVID-19 storm. While work from home and stay at home restrictions and business closures have devastated industries that rely on physical services and in-person customers (namely hospitality, tourism, and arts), tech businesses appear to be emerging from the crisis relatively unscathed. Because of the COVID-19 lockdowns, businesses are shifting toward cloud-based software that partners and employees can access. The change toward spending on internet-accessible technology for productivity, sales, reporting, and other activities has coincided with statistical trends such as a 57% growth in collaboration tools and a 67% increase in web conferencing applications by 2020.
The rising adoption of IoT technology fuels the application development software market revenue. The surging adoption of software in industrialized sectors such as automotive, mining, chemical, and oil & gas, among others is expected to create significant growth opportunities for the application development software industry. The growing adoption of smartphones, computers, and laptops is also supporting the industry growth. In addition, the explosion of the online gaming industry is a global application development software market trend that is expanding the market demand. However, the high cost of these software as well as security and privacy risks related to this software are restricting the market growth.
Application Development Software Market Segmentation
The worldwide application development software market is split based on type, deployment model, application, enterprise size, and geography.
Market by Type
- Low-Code Development Platforms
- No-Code Development Platforms
According to our application development software industry analysis, the low-code development platforms sub-segment will occupy a significant market share during the forecast timeframe from 2022 to 2030. The growing demand for digitalization is the key reason driving the growth of the low-code development platform market. As a result of digital transformation, businesses of all sizes and industries are seeking innovative methods to tackle challenges and improve company performance. Low-code is already being used by businesses to obtain a competitive advantage by boosting corporate agility and efficiency. This technology enables IT, teams, to break down existing business departmental silos.
Market by Deployment Model
- On-Premise
- Cloud
According to our analysis, the on-premise subsegment will have a considerable market share from 2022 to 2030. On-premise software's biggest advantage is that it protects data as it is stored on local premises. On-premise deployment model allows total cost of ownership, can allow complete control over data and does not rely on internet connectivity or external factors. However, the cloud-based deployment model sub-segment is anticipated to achieve the fastest growth rate during the forecast timeframe from 2022 to 2030.
Market by Application
- BFSI
- Media & Entertainment
- IT & Telecom
- Healthcare
- Travel & Tourism
- Others
According to our application development software market forecast, media and entertainment held the most market share in 2021 and are expected to continue to do so in the future years.

Increased use of over-the-top (OTT) platforms, as well as increased viewer screen time as a result of imposed lockdowns, are likely to boost category growth throughout the projection period. In terms of growth, the IT & telecom sub-segment will occupy a significant growth rate from 2022 to 2030.
Market by Enterprise Size
- Large Enterprise
- Small & Medium Enterprise
In terms of enterprise size, major enterprises continue to outnumber small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Large businesses have a broad revenue flow and business system. It aids in the application of cutting-edge technologies and solutions within their presented framework. SMEs, on the other hand, will experience the fastest growth in the next years.
