The rising number of cyberattacks and considerable growth in connected devices and access points has significantly raised the demand for superior business application monitoring and control. As a result, the demand for comprehensive end-point access protection and coverage has increased dramatically, gaining popularity across a wide range of industry verticals.

  • The growing number of cyberattacks, combined with an increase in connected devices and access points, has significantly raised the demand for enhanced monitoring and control of enterprise applications. As a result, the demand for comprehensive end-point access security and coverage has increased dramatically, gaining popularity across a wide range of industry verticals. As a result, various market participants in the application control market presently offer extensive business products that permit advanced protection of enterprise applications by enabling varying degrees of control, such as execution, monitoring, and authentication, among other controls.
  • Further, the application control-based solutions offer a broad range of uses, including network security, server management, end-point protection, and authentication, among other benefits to the end-user organization. Application control has gained significant traction in the past few years, primarily owing to the rising need for load balancing, improving performance, and handling much more advanced requirements associated with application delivery. These solutions provide availability, scalability, performance, security, automation, and control essential to keep the applications and servers running in their power band.
  • These capabilities also aid organizations that want to or have already migrated to the cloud environments. Digital transformation has been inspiring new architectures and optimization initiatives. It significantly impacts ADCs as they are crucial to application architectures and IT optimization. For example, almost any E-commerce website uses an application delivery controller to improve the availability and reliability of its applications. Currently, businesses have been undergoing digital transformation as their enterprise counterparts. Website reliability, flexibility, scalability, and performance are as essential to website infrastructure as they are to an enterprise.
  • The exponential explosion in data traffic has been demanding that network systems be capable of handling the increasing rates of application layer traffic. The solutions offered in the market must handle these types of huge loads. The increasing need to scale out applications, which in various cases consists of solutions from different vendors, along with adding new services to the network, can result in increased complexities and increased points of failure in the network. As a result, delivering these services to the consumers becomes more complex and can result in major delays, leading to loss of revenue streams and lowered subscriber quality of experience.
  • The global COVID-19 pandemic caused long-term impacts in various major IT and technology sectors. For example, several IT and other big technology organizations anticipated fewer commercial contracts across various industrial verticals such as manufacturing, service sector, healthcare, and retail. However, due to their importance in utilities and necessary everyday operations, critical businesses such as BFSI, IT & telecom, aerospace & defense, and others experienced minor impacts during the pandemic across different nations.

Application Control Market Trends

Retail is Expected to Hold the Significant Share of the Market

  • With the improvement of the Web, the development of multi-channel operations, and the evolution of intelligent retail application solutions, the retail market has become dynamic. Moreover, with the rapid rise of e-commerce, business intelligence is being enabled to track how users interact with e-Commerce stores, and this information can be used further to enhance the customer shopping and service experience. E-Commerce also allows retailers to make smart, efficient decisions based on customer behavior. This data can be viewed in real-time, allowing businesses to adjust prices quickly or alter merchandise offerings. Such developments increase the attraction towards online shopping, and retailers are adopting Application Controller to reduce load times.
  • The number of IoT-connected devices in the retail sector is exponentially increasing. For instance, in the EU region, the number of connected devices used in the retail industry was 2.28 million units in 2019, and it is expected to grow to 3.09 million units by 2025, as per the ENTO reports. Also, Amazon opened Amazon Go, a physical grocery store near its Seattle headquarters. The brick-and-mortar store uses a broad network of newly designed cameras, sensors, and smartphones to determine the exact product each consumer takes off a shelf. After identifying the product, the technology adds it to a digital cart. Such developments in the retail sector increase the need for ADCs to improve scalability and reduce server workload traffic.
  • Furthermore, retailers are investing in multi-cloud, multi-location, and multi-platform load balancing strategies where visitors to the retail mobile application sites might view the content in different languages depending on the customers based on the country they are located in. Therefore, such capabilities attract more customers worldwide, and to reduce the server workload, ADCs are being adopted.
  • The need for regulatory compliance for servers located in different locations, such as GDPR in the European Union, for governing data security and privacy also demands the ADCs in retail sectors. Overall, the demand for ADC increases across the studied sector with the increased incorporation of IoT and the introduction of digital technologies in retail to automate payments and other transactions faster.
  • E-commerce applications can be controlled through various means to ensure proper functionality and security. Some commonly used controls in business processes include access controls, data encryption, audit trails, and firewalls. The rise in online spending would allow the studied market to grow. For instance, according to Salesforce, In the fourth quarter of 2022, online shoppers across all verticals spent an average of slightly under three dollars per visit. Food and beverage is the category in which consumers spend the most money each visit on average, at more than four dollars, followed by luxury clothes at almost USD 3.5.
