From ComputerWorld: Sales of mobile management software will grow at a slower pace over the next few years but will still top $2.9 billion in 2019, according to IDC’s latest forecast.
The projected annual sales growth by multiple enterprise mobility management software (EMM) vendors globally will slide from last year's 27% growth rate to a projected annual increase of less than 10% in 2019, IDC said in this month's forecast.
In 2014, global revenues totaled $1.4 billion, a number expected to reach $2.92 billion in 2019. The Americas will dominate the market in all those years, IDC said.
The forecast shows that there is still strong interest in managing the influx of mobile devices and apps and content that runs on them, whether they are employee- or corporate-owned devices.
“As mobile has gone from a nice-to-have to must-have, organizations are deploying an increasing number of mobile applications and need to move from deploying basic device management technology to more sophisticated application and content management functionality,” IDC analyst Stacy Crook wrote in the forecast report.
