Impact of COVID-19 on Mobile Device Management Market Growth
The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the Mobile Device Management (MDM) market significantly. During the initial lockdowns imposed worldwide, businesses had to enable remote working almost overnight. This increased the demand for MDM solutions to effectively manage devices being used outside the corporate network. MDM providers saw a surge in new customer acquisitions as well as increased spending from existing customers to support the sudden shift to remote workforces.
However, with the economic slowdown caused by the pandemic, IT budgets were also reduced. This led to postponing or cancelling of some MDM deployment plans. Subscription-based MDM providers were less impacted compared to providers relying on perpetual license sales. Towards the later part of 2020 and 2021, businesses stabilized remote work setups using existing MDM solutions. With vaccines rolled out and restrictions easing, a hybrid work model is emerging as the norm. This is once again driving demand for flexible and robust MDM solutions that can securely manage devices both inside and outside the office. Mobile device usage is also expected to increase with more employees, students and consumers relying on them for work, learning and entertainment even after the pandemic ends. This will continue fuelling growth of the MDM market in the coming years.
Geographical Regions with High MDM Market Concentration
In terms of value, the MDM market is highly concentrated in North America and Europe. This is because of the early adoption of bring your own device (BYOD) and choose your own device (CYOD) trends in these regions, driving the need for effective mobile device and application management capabilities. The United States accounts for the largest share of the North American MDM market owing to strong BYOD policies of companies across industries. In Europe, countries like the United Kingdom, Germany and France have emerged as major revenue generators. However, the Asia Pacific region excluding Japan is witnessing the fastest growth and rising market share. This is attributed to increasing digital transformation initiatives of companies in countries such as China, India and South Korea which is boosting mobile device usage within organizations.
Fastest Growing Region for the MDM Market
The Asia Pacific region excluding Japan is emerging as the fastest growing regional market for MDM globally. This growth can be attributed to rising smartphone and mobile internet penetration in developing Asia Pacific countries. Their governments are promoting digitalization to encourage technology adoption, innovation and modernization of industries and services. Organizations across sectors are enabling BYOD to improve employee productivity and satisfaction. At the same time, needs around data security, cost controls and manageability are driving deployment of MDM solutions. China and India, being two of the largest and fastest growing economies, are major revenue contributors. Increasing mobile collaboration within and outside workplaces is slated to continue propelling Asia Pacific MDM market growth over the next decade.
