These word processing software market research reports deliver a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

The word processing software market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $103.44 billion in 2023 to $111.20 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The expansion observed during the historical period can be attributed to various factors, including the widespread adoption of personal computers, the introduction of graphical user interfaces (GUI), the proliferation of office suites, the emergence of desktop publishing, the impacts of globalization, and the development of multilingual capabilities.

The word processing software market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $148.99 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including the widespread adoption of cloud computing, integration of artificial intelligence (AI), increased usage of mobile devices, trends towards remote work, and heightened concerns regarding data security and privacy. Key trends expected in this period include emphasis on collaboration and real-time editing capabilities, adoption of subscription-based models, enhancements in AI and machine learning functionalities, integration with other tools, and a focus on delivering an enhanced user experience.

The expansion of remote work is poised to drive the growth of the word processing software market in the foreseeable future. Remote work entails performing job responsibilities from a location other than a traditional office, facilitated by digital technology and communication tools. The adoption of remote work is increasing as advanced collaboration tools enable teams to efficiently work from anywhere. Word processing software plays a pivotal role in supporting remote workforces by facilitating seamless collaboration, document sharing, and efficient communication among distributed teams. For example, data from the Office for National Statistics in February 2023 revealed that during a specific period when the recommendation to work from home was lifted in Great Britain, approximately 38% of employed adults reported working remotely. In the latest period, about 40% of working adults mentioned having worked from home at least once in the past seven days. Hence, the growth of remote work is fueling the expansion of the word processing software market.

Key players within the word processing software market are directing their efforts towards developing technologically advanced solutions, such as AI-powered word tools, to gain a competitive edge. AI-powered word tools integrate advanced artificial intelligence features into word processing software such as Microsoft Word. For instance, in January 2024, Microsoft, a US-based technology company, introduced Copilot Pro, an upgraded version of its AI-powered tool tailored for power users and content creators. Available in word, excel, PowerPoint, outlook, and OneNote, Copilot Pro provides advanced assistance in writing, coding, designing, researching, and learning. Subscribers can access the latest language models, enhanced AI image creation, and the capability to build custom Copilot GPT models. This premium subscription is offered to Microsoft 365 Personal and Family users.
