Analyst Opinion

The Productivity Software segment has been growing at a stable rate over the last couple of years. This steady rise in numbers is predominantly driven by the introduction of faster and more efficient software programs and tools created by various software providers. The increased use of smartphones and applications has also been a contributing factor to the segment’s growth. Additionally, companies are increasingly recognizing the importance of retaining employees, and are therefore providing them with effective tools that help them be more productive.

Compared to other productivity software, the popularity of collaboration software grew immensely during the pandemic. This can be attributed to the increased use of this type of software as employees started to work from home, and both schools and universities began offering classes online.

Despite the short-term effects of the current economic crisis, which has forced many companies to reduce their IT budget, this segment is projected to continue growing in a stable manner in the coming years. It is also expected to benefit from the decision made by various companies to shift from on-premises software to cloud-based software in an effort to reduce operating costs and increase flexibility.
