What Are The Leading Drivers Of Growth In The Unified Communications And Collaboration (UCC) Market?
The unified communications and collaboration (UCC) market is projected to experience growth due to the escalating trend of remote work. Often completed from home or other non-traditional work locations, remote work involves performing professional tasks and duties using digital tools to communicate and collaborate. This long-distance mode of work has seen significant promotion through technological progression, employee preference shifts, and the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has obligated companies to adopt flexible work systems for the sake of business fluidity and efficiency. UCC tools support remote work by unifying various forms of communication, such as audio, video, and messaging, on a single platform, facilitating efficient interaction and cooperation among remote teams. For example, data from The Office for National Statistics, a non-ministerial department of the UK, shows that between September 2022 and January 2023, 16% of people in Great Britain worked solely from home, while 28% mixed home and office working. Hence, the amplified reliance on remote work serves as a strong driver for the unified communications and collaboration (UCC) market.
