2020 is called the first year of low-code, in which low-code platforms have just started in China. By 2021, low-code/no-code platforms have begun to spread rapidly in China, and many companies have begun to adopt low-code/no-code development.
So, how will the low-code market develop in 2022? Will enterprises adopt low-code faster? What functions should a low-code platform have to better assist enterprises in digitalization?
Faced with these problems, the China Software Industry Association and the Haibi Research Institute jointly released the "2022 Top Ten Trends in China's " Low-Code " Field Report".
Trend 1: China's low-code market is expected to reach 4.26 billion yuan in 2022
Data from the Haibi Research Institute shows that China's low-code market will reach 2.85 billion yuan in 2021. In the next five years, the compound growth rate of China's low-code market will be 49.5%, reaching 4.26 billion yuan in 2022 and 14.22 billion yuan in 2025.
Trend 2: In 2022, 40% to 60% of large enterprises will use low-code to develop applications
Low-code is a big trend in the field of enterprise services. The market is growing rapidly. With the vigorous promotion of manufacturers, more companies will be willing to use low-code products, and the penetration rate of low-code market will increase. In 2022, 40% to 60% of large enterprises will use low-code to develop applications.
Trend 3: From independent applications to digital platforms, low-code will become the digital application infrastructure of medium and large enterprises
In 2022, with the wider promotion of low-code technology, more and more enterprises will switch their informatization path from building independent applications to building digital platforms, giving full play to the advantages of low-code technology and accelerating the digital construction of enterprises.
Trend 4: A large number of enterprise-level low-code platforms appear, accelerating the development of enterprise core business systems
Enterprise-level low-code refers to a low-code platform that can support the development of large-scale, high-complexity, and high-tech standard applications.
The enterprise-level low-code development platform empowers technicians and extends low-code technology to core business application areas represented by sales, production, and distribution .
Trend 5: In 2022, differentiated competition is one of the strategies of many manufacturers
The competition in the low-code market is gradually intensifying, and differentiated competition is becoming more and more important. In 2022, it will become one of the strategies of many manufacturers.
Trend 6: In 2022, manufacturers need to focus on four technologies: AI, Internet of Things, data interface integration, and data analysis
Through the survey of leading enterprises, it is found that AI, Internet of Things, data interface integration, and data analysis will be the technologies that they will generally focus on in 2022, and they are committed to applying them to low-code platforms.
The Haibi Research Institute believes that this phenomenon must be paid attention to by all low-code vendors .
Trend 7: No-code will be further differentiated from low-code, and a new track will be formed with the support of the capital market
As a branch of generalized low-code, no-code products that do not provide programming interfaces will be further differentiated from model-driven low-code products .
Trend 8: Hybrid development model is sought after, and low-code is more concerned by programmers
The hybrid development model refers to the collaborative development of a mixed team composed of programmers and other technical personnel or business personnel, so that low-code goes to the programmer group on the one hand, and goes deeper into the business personnel on the other hand .
Trend 9: Agile development methodology introduces low-code to support large-scale project development
After solving the visualization of the development and deployment stages, the enterprise-level low-code development platform represented by movable type in 2021 will introduce the methodology of agile development into low-code.
It provides version and branch management capabilities compatible with coding development, so that development teams can follow the project management best practices accumulated in traditional coding development, support large-scale project development and customizable software product development, and further expand the application scope of low-code technology .
Trend 10: Low-code entry into colleges and universities to promote the integration of production, education and research
Low-code is consistent with coding development in terms of design thinking and development process, but has a lower technical threshold and shorter learning path, which can help software engineering, information management and other majors in colleges and universities to solve the "difficult landing" in practical training courses. To further improve the integration level of production, education and research in the school.
Through the above ten trends, we can find that the development of low-code platforms will be more comprehensive and complete, more compatible with new technologies, easier to use, and fully support enterprise digitalization.
J2PaaS is an enterprise-level low-code platform that has obtained a coding-free national invention patent earlier in ChinaIt covers the entire process of software project demand analysis, design, development, testing, operation, and maintenance. It is an online development of visualization, componentization, and drag-and-drop development. platform.
In terms of technical capabilities, in addition to basic capabilities, J2PaaS also integrates various interoperability interfaces such as the Internet of Things and big data without further development. Through parameter configuration and online testing, data diversity can be provided for third-party application calls.
In terms of education and training, J2PaaS and Xiamen University of Technology published the "Agile Development Practice and Case Tutorial", and reached teaching and research cooperation with Xiamen University of Technology, Xiamen Ocean, Xiamen Nanyang and other universities to introduce low-code into college classrooms and innovation and entrepreneurship bases. Skills education provides technical support.
In terms of customer service, J2PaaS has served Xiamen Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Zhilian Recruitment, Xiamen International Trade, Fujian Xinchuang and other enterprises on the platform in 2021, providing them with fast and efficient solution customization services.
With the development of the industry and the deepening of the market's understanding of low-code, there will be a closer connection between enterprises and low-code platforms, and will continue to move forward in the integration!
