The recent COVID-19 global pandemic has significantly boosted the market growth of video conferencing software worldwide. Work-form-home (WFH) policies, social distancing, and government lockdowns and home quarantines in various countries have surged the demand for video-conferencing apps, for both personal and business use. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officials have recently suggested that people can meet over voice or video calls instead of congregating in person due to the global outbreak of the COVID-19 virus.

The demand for video conferencing software solutions is increasing prominently as companies are opting for video conferences due to the current pandemic situation. As such, the number of users using video conferencing solutions has spiked this year, For example, the video conferencing software company Zoom has recorded a surge in more active users so far this year as compared to that in 2019. The company filed its IPO prospectus in 2019 to go public.

The growing integration among the key economies has led to the increased adoption of technology. This has resulted in the booming demand for internet accessibility across various regions. According to the World Bank Data, the number of people using the internet has grown two folds in a decade from 22.96% in 2008 to 49.72% in 2017.

The rising globalization has majorly contributed to the growing demand for video conferencing solutions globally. The use of video conferencing increases work efficiency while reducing the overall costs associated with non-virtual meetings. Global enterprises are increasingly deploying video conferencing solutions for video meetings, enterprise-level discussions, and group webinars to save both time and operational costs.

Moreover, growing focus on miniaturizing the devices equipped with video conferencing support to allow ease of handling and portability is also fueling the market growth of video conferencing software. Smartphones, tablets, and laptops are coming integrated with full-fledged video conferencing software.

The growing prevalence of cloud computing is also a driving factor behind the growth of the global video conferencing software market. Moreover, it is encouraging companies to adopt growth strategies such as partnerships and investments in order to expand their reach in the global market. The rising influx of various technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and IoT across various industries will further influence the adoption of video conferencing solutions which will drive the market growth of video conferencing software in the coming years.

The booming expansion of the global video conferencing industry is encouraging market players to launch new software as per the requirement of their customers. There has been a shift from discussions in meeting rooms to video modes.

Asia-Pacific to witness significant market growth during the forecast period

Geographically, the global Video Conferencing Software market has been segmented on the basis of North America, South America, Middle East and Africa (MEA), and Asia-Pacific (APAC). North America held a significant market share in 2019 and will remain at its position until the end of the forecast period. Markets in North American countries like the U.S. and Canada are relatively mature in terms of early adoption of new technologies coupled with the presence of major market players, thereby bolstering the overall regional market growth. Moreover, the availability of highly sophisticated network infrastructure in these countries also contributes to the market growth of video conferencing software in North America.

The emerging trend of BYOD (bring your own device) policies and enterprise mobility in enterprises of all sizes is driving the demand for video conferencing software in the region. Employers in this region are encouraging their employees to use their devices in order to reduce the overall operational cost. The availability of skilled labor force at a cheaper rate is also attracting companies to set up their offices in this region which is also positively impacting the video conferencing software market growth in this region.
