Market trends and drivers
Every business today is undergoing digital transformation in some shape or form. The world is experiencing increasing IT complexity, cloud migration, and the proliferation of applications – for example, in 2021 companies saw a 40% increase in the average number of apps per employee, compared to a historical growth trajectory of just 20%. As a result, the demand and market for EA platforms like Ardoq is vast and accelerating at pace. Ardoq’s already sizable addressable market is set to grow 10 - 12% per annum, up from $3.4 billion today (March 2022).
