The global software as a service market size is expected to reach USD 819.23 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 13.7% from 2023 to 2030. The major growth factors of the market include the growing adoption of outsourcing business models in enterprises coupled with the growing number of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and startups across the globe. Moreover, the rising trend towards mobile applications such as emails, video calls, and instant messaging further increases the usage of smart devices which further encourages the demand for software as a service (SaaS) during the forecast period.
Cloud-based software solutions have become increasingly popular due to their scalability, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use. Companies increasingly turn to cloud-based SaaS solutions for their business needs, including customer relationship management (CRM), human resources management, and accounting. Further, SaaS providers are increasingly integrating their software with other platforms to offer a more comprehensive suite of services. This includes integrations with other SaaS providers and on-premises software and legacy systems. For instance, in November 2022, IBM Corporation launched a managed cloud service solution for VMware, Inc., an American cloud computing and virtualization technology company. The new offering provides a secured, operated, and managed service by IBM Cloud to assist enterprises in deploying the cloud with the IBM Cloud infrastructure and VMware software stack.
SaaS providers increasingly incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) and automation into their software solutions to improve efficiency, accuracy, and productivity. This includes features such as chatbots, predictive analytics, and automated workflows. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has boosted the adoption of remote work and cloud-based software, which could lead to increased demand for SaaS solutions worldwide. This trend will continue even as the pandemic subsides, as many companies have discovered the benefits of cloud-based tools and are likely to continue using them. For instance, in November 2022, OutSystems launched a cloud-native development solution OutSystems Developer developing cloud applications. ODC combines a cutting-edge architecture developed on Linux containers, AWS, Kubernetes, enterprise-grade security, and micro services with DORA high-performance CD/CI and the unrivaled efficiency of visual, model-based development.
