Overview on the low-code market:
  • Low-Code, a $27 billion market, is entering the mainstream. It’s been recognised as one of the fastest growing segments of software development by Gartner, Forrester and Ovum, with compound annual growth rates projected at around 44 percent. In Asia Pacific, as in globally, companies of all sizes are taking advantage of the low-code, modular development approach to build software faster (days rather than months or years), less expensively and more collaboratively than with traditional coding. It is the alternative to traditional software coding and is redefining how Asia Pacific enterprises develop software applications.
  • OutSystems, founded in 2001, is a pioneer in the market, establishing itself years before experts started to recognise low-code’s potential. It has revenues of more than $100 million, annual growth rates topping 70 percent and customers in over 52 countries. Customers include Toyota, Logitech, Deloitte, Ricoh, Schneider Electric, and GM Financial.
