Low-code is no longer only a quick fix.
Mendix, a Siemens business and global leader in modern enterprise application development, announced the results of its “2022 State of Low-Code in Key Verticals” survey, which shows that most organizations expect to use low-code more than traditional coding by 2024. In line with that, Gartner estimates that, by 2025, 70% of applications developed by enterprises will be built with low-code or no-code technologies, up from less than 25% in 2020.
The survey shows that 89% of businesses made low-code changes during the pandemic, 69% now consider low-code a core part of their business, and 10% say low-code is the foundation of their business. It also highlights that low-code is expected to overtake traditional coding by 2024 as organizations accelerate software development.
The survey, which was commissioned by Mendix and conducted by research consultancy Reputation Leaders, captures the experiences, observations, and opinions of business leaders in France, Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, and the U.S. who work in the banking, financial services, insurance, public sector, industrial manufacturing, and retail sectors. This gives business leaders a clear view of low-code adoption across key industries and how it enables smart manufacturing, unified retail commerce, user-centric government, and simplified financial services.
