What Are The Core Factors Supporting Growth In The Collaboration Software Market?
The boost in the collaboration software market is anticipated to come from the surge in remote work. Remote work is a setup where employees fulfill their duties from a place other than the conventional office, usually their homes or other distant locations. The rise in remote work has stimulated the growth and use of collaboration software since companies are realizing the importance of proficient remote collaboration tools for sustaining productivity, communication, and teamwork. For example, Forbes, a US-based business magazine reported in June 2023 that 38% of the male workforce works remotely full-time, while a more modest 23% does it part-time. In comparison, 22% of women conduct their work obligations part-time, while 30% of them do so full-time. Thus, the surge in remote work is the fuel behind the growth of the collaboration software market.
