The global low-code development platform market is expected to reach $264.40 billion by 2032, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 32.0% over the forecast period – according to the Fortune Business Insights report. In 2024, this sector was valued at USD 28.75 billion. These numbers indicate a high demand for democratic development platforms based on rapid delivery with minimal manual coding, that is, the creation and management of applications by users with little IT expertise.
With the use of large language models (LLMs), such as Gemini and ChatGPT, and advances in artificial intelligence, the possibility arises to explore opportunities to significantly reshape a business with innovative functionalities through corporate applications developed in a straightforward, accelerated, and secure manner. Among the main advantages of creating applications in companies are: visual and intuitive interfaces, reduced costs, task optimization, increased productivity, flexibility, cross-platform development, scalability, enhanced security, and in-depth analysis based on the generated data.
The combination of low-code with artificial intelligence is redefining the way companies develop and scale their applications. Today, it's not just about accelerating development, but about enabling business teams to create robust solutions without relying solely on IT specialists. This new scenario enables greater flexibility, security, and operational efficiency, reducing costs and delivery time. Companies that know how to leverage this synergy will be ahead in digital transformation, explains Lucas Felisberto, VP LatAm of Sales & CS at the global software company, Jitterbit.
A study conducted by Gartner revealed that this year, more than 65% of applications will be developed using low-code platforms. Thus, the adoption of AI and technological automation significantly impacts the results produced, operational efficiency, and process agility. Jitterbit, for example, has been working in the industry with the development of robust solutions in a simplified and agile manner through its solutions, such as the App Builder, enabling cost reduction, increased productivity, and strengthening operational security. Brands like Cal-Maine Foods, Zeppelin Systems, iHeartMedia, and Etiya are already betting on this type of simplified yet robust development.
"We are entering an era where innovation and technological accessibility go hand in hand. Low-code democratizes software development, while AI enhances its capabilities. This means organizations of all sizes can optimize their processes, quickly experiment with new features, and scale their operations intelligently, all while alleviating IT teams without losing control over management. The speed and flexibility of these platforms are strategic differentiators for those seeking competitiveness in the current market," concludes Lucas.
