Composable Applications Market Dynamics
Driver: Increased demand for app development
Between 2019 and 2020, the number of applications rose by more than 20%. This rate of increase was more than twice that of any previous year. As per findings, around 35% of new applications will be composable and built using Packaged Business Capabilities (PBCs). To outperform their rivals, more than 75% of small-to-medium-sized SaaS companies are expected to employ bundled business capability architecture. Contemporary firms are expected to abandon monoliths and embrace the transformable composition.
Enterprises are increasingly challenged to create digital user experiences beyond web and mobile app digital experiences. Developers can use composable applications to create new apps from existing code or apps. The need to install and manage several workload-specific configurations is eliminated while using composable applications; this can be seen in the retail & eCommerce industry. Composable commerce enables eCommerce teams to choose, construct, and compose best-of-breed solutions to meet their company demands. Composable commerce uses cutting-edge technologies and methodologies such as MACH (Microservices, API, Cloud, and Headless) to adapt to the ever-changing market dynamics rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all eCommerce capability. All these advantages denote that composable applications will be in demand for app development.
Restraint: Dependency on vendor-supplied customized solutions
In today’s digital world, application delivery is the priority, as the speed in developing and delivering applications has become essential for business success. A vendor-supplied software is a fully integrated solution that helps meet specific business requirements. The customer-vendor side solution increases cost and takes more time to deliver custom software. Customized solutions are not, at times, a perfect match to the business requirements. Enterprises are not entirely aware of the advantages of in-house software development, which is a major factor for organizational dependency over vendor-supplied software solutions, restraining the growth of the composable application development platform market.
Opportunity: Growing digital transformation in IT industry
The focus of organizations on increasing their productivity is one of the major driving factors for the adoption of digital transformation. The use of advanced technologies, such as the cloud, Internet of Things (IoT), big data and analytics, mobility, and social media, has led to innovation and transformation, thereby eliciting positive growth in the business ecosystem. Digital technologies have transformed the legacy approach to businesses into a modern approach. For example, online services are now firmly established in the banking and financial sector, resulting in the proliferation of online activities and websites. Organizations are trying to improve their business outcomes by moving toward digital transformation. This has led to an increase in demand for digital transformation solutions in various industries and is expected to drive the adoption of composable application platforms and services.
Challenge: Lack of skilled professional trainers among developers
COVID-19 compelled many businesses to enter the digital age, which required specialized software and someone in charge of developing it. As a result, IT teams grew in size and specialized. Because of the rapid increase in demand, supply was unable to keep up. There are fewer people with development skills than there are jobs, and this disparity will only grow. The rapid evolution of composable applications has piqued the interest of businesses in hiring developers who are experts in these fields. Many companies must invest in the training of their developers to learn these technologies, which few want to do because the field has a high turnover rate. The funds they put into forming a developer may generate revenue for the competition.
