Market Challenges

• The software industry has undergone significant changes, starting as a service-focused sector, then shifting to a product-focused industry, and now transitioning into a hybrid model. Traditional licensing models like single-user and concurrent-user licenses were common in corporate applications. However, concurrent-user licensing is gradually being replaced. Usage-based licensing is gaining popularity, but perpetual licensing continues to be the preferred strategy. This shift has led to high license and maintenance costs, which may impede the growth of the global software market in the forecast period.
• The software market is facing numerous challenges in today's business landscape. With the rise of remote work, ensuring secure access to information systems and networks is crucial. Security software, including antivirus and firewalls, is essential to protect against cyber threats. Computing devices and internet communication must be secure for transactions to be safe. Access management and data protection are key concerns for businesses, particularly those using e-commerce, AI, IoT, and cloud-based solutions. Large enterprises must adhere to security standards and implement business process automation. Network security is vital to guard against cybercrimes, while system-level security risks cybersecurity software.
