According to Gartner, the worldwide low-code development market is projected to be $13.8 billion in 2021, a whopping increase of 22.6% from 2020. Gartner also predicts that the surge in remote development during COVID-19 will continue to boost low-code adoption, despite budget cuts and efforts to optimize cost.
In essence, low-code is a visual paradigm of application development that involves drag-and-drop of pre-built components and integrations resulting in fast, easy and less-error-prone development. The advantage of low-code is that it enables users from a non-traditional development background to participate in the app development process, thus democratizing development and accelerating project timelines.
Low-code is here to stay, and with the right platform, enterprises and ISVs can make sure security is shifted left and addressed by developers much earlier in the development process.
