What Drivers Are Propelling the Growth of Open Source Software Market Forward?
The rise in small businesses is predicted to fuel the expansion of the open-source software market. Small businesses are generally privately held, managed by a handful of employees, and generate relatively lower revenue and profit than major corporations. Factors such as technological developments, globalisation, evolving workforce trends, government backing, market prospects, cost-effectiveness, and entrepreneurial drive are pushing small businesses forward. Open-source software caters to these small businesses by offering cost-efficient solutions to meet their commercial requirements, allowing them to use top-notch software minus the prohibitive costs attached to proprietary software. For example, data from the UK's Department for Business and Trade from October 2023 show that the number of small-scale businesses rose from 217 in 2022 to 223 in 2023. The count of medium-scale businesses remained constant at 36 in 2021 and 2022, but increased to 37 in 2023. Consequently, the escalating count of small businesses is fuelling the growth of the open-source software market.
