Top Growth Drivers in the Open Source Software Industry: What's Accelerating the Market?
The increase in small enterprises is projected to spur the open-source software market's growth. Small enterprises, usually privately owned, run by a handful of employees and generating lesser revenue and profits than larger corporations, are fueled by technology advancements, globalization, shifting workforce patterns, governmental backing, market possibilities, cost-effectiveness, and entrepreneurial fervor. Open-source software contributes to small businesses by offering cost-efficient solutions that cater to their business requirements, availing them of premium software without the steep pricing of proprietary software. To illustrate, in 2023, the Department for Business and Trade, a government agency based in the UK, reported that the count of small-scale enterprises escalated from 217 in 2022 to 223 in 2023. Whereas medium-scale businesses maintained stability with 36 in both 2021 and 2022 before ascending to 37 in 2023. Consequently, the rising number of small enterprises is escalating the growth of the open-source software market.
