The Growth of Low-Code Development Tools amidst Covid19

 Worldwide low-code software development will reach 13.8 billion dollars by 2021 owing to the growing demand of low-code/no-coding programming tools.

FREMONT, CA: During the coronavirus crisis times, the growth of demand for low-code/no-coding programming tools has been driven by the surge in remote software advancements. According to Gartner's latest projection, the worldwide low-code development technologies market will be up 23.2 percent from 2020, to reach 13.8 billion dollars in 2021. Despite ongoing pressure on IT departments to cut costs, demand is expected to rise in 2021. Research vice-president at Gartner, Fabrizio Biscotti, said that even though low-code application development is not unusual, the rise of composable business, a convergence of digital disruptions, and hyper-automation has driven to an inflow of tools and growing demand.

Furthermore, the predictions show that the largest component of the low-development tech market  would remain low-code application platforms as it is increasing by 65 percent from 2020, it is expected to reach 5.8 billion dollars, added Gartner. Rapid mobile app development (RMAD) and rapid application development (RAD) tools are two other areas where the market is developing. This growth of low-code tools are further driven by businesses that are asking the IT departments to develop more software. Gartner considers that the emergence of citizen developers outside of IT was influenced by the rise in low code which has further increased the demand for custom software in support of digital transformation. Additionally, according to his findings, on average, 41 percent of employees who are not IT or business technologists customize and construct data or technological solutions. By the end of 2025, almost half of new low-code clients will originate from business buyers outside of IT departments, Gartner added.
