Market Growth Factors
Growing need to break down data silos and boost productivity
A data silo is a group of data that is inaccessible to all levels of a company's structure. Data silos are a costly and time-consuming issue for businesses. They must therefore be resolved. Application integration services enable effective data utilization by removing data silos and the costs that go along with them. In addition, cost-cutting initiatives may encourage businesses to use their data more to obtain a competitive advantage, improve operational efficiencies, and create new business prospects. Access to information throughout the entire company is essential in achieving this. Therefore, the demand is anticipated to increase as a result, which in turn, is accelerating the growth of the market.
Rising focus on digital transformation throughout industries
Digital evolution is a non-linear process that transitions between phases of quick change and slower consolidation dependent on external and internal needs. To maintain pace throughout this transformation, however, the adaptability of digital operations is essential. Most firms have made direct or indirect investments in B2B connectivity driven by Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). In a similar vein, a lot of people have invested in application integration. As more businesses adopt digital transformation strategies, businesses are expected to continuously adapt their practices to increase productivity, quality, and customer satisfaction. Therefore, as the pace of digitalization increases, it will propel the demand.
Market Restraining Factors
High cost of investments and availability of open-source software
