Market Trends of Digital Assurance Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Digital Assurance Market according to our research experts:
Healthcare sector is expected to register significant growth
- The global pandemic of COVID-19 is spreading worldwide, led by growing health concerns, and the implementation of the stay-at-home policy has effectively impacted the world of digital health. Also, there has been a trend in the growth of mobile healthcare applications in the market. For instance, the Indian government introduced the "AROGYASETU" mobile app to create awareness against the virus.
- Similarly, there is also growth in the number of avid users of these healthcare apps. There is evolving competition in the digital health application market. Hence businesses, to stand out at the top of the list with high FRD, must develop bug-free, easy-to-use software applications to maintain their competitive position. This instance showcases a positive market outlook and is expected to increase digital assurance adoption.
- The organizations need to test the application's user interface (UX testing) and make it patient-centric and doesn't involve any complexities. Further, as the users are likely to input critical health data into the applications, it mandates the organizations to implement strict and secure authorization accessibility and perform security testing to help prevent data breaches.
- Moreover, healthcare professionals from various departments often need to collaborate in critical cases. However, their collaboration, subsequent decision-making, and treatment may sometimes get delayed due to the unavailability of resources. Furthermore, in urgent cases, quick and easy access to patients' insights on a centralized portal can help in swift collaboration among various departments and decision-making, ultimately expediting patient care.
- Furthermore, healthcare organizations globally rely on digital strategies and visual content to tell their stories, drive funding and engage with donors. However, it has been challenging to collaborate with much more stringent regulations and confidentiality policies while maintaining high-security standards effectively. Digital assurance solutions are helping these organizations solve these problems, enabling them to manage better and distribute their media, content, and communications materials across various programs, locations, and affiliates.
The Asia Pacific Market is Witnessing The Highest Growth
- The Asia Pacific is expected to register significant growth majoring owing to the economies in the region that hold tremendous potential to grow toward digital transformation. Each economy, including China, India, and Japan, has developed a niche market for itself towards specific ICT segments. The region is home to a few market players, including TCS, Hexaware, and Maveric Systems.
- As the region has been moving towards the digital future, COVID-19 has created greater urgency towards it, with instances such as workspaces and customer and partner interaction being moved online. With growing transformation, quality assurance also needs to balance multiple conflicting priorities. These include the need to support the rapidly changing technology landscape and the requirement for greater speed delivery while ensuring omnichannel experiences for the users.
- Companies in the region are developing their capabilities in the market through certifications to enable organizations in digital transformation. In August 2022, QualityKiosk Technologies, a Mumbai-based independent digital transformation company, was awarded the UiPath Services Network (USN) Certification. A leading enterprise automation software provider UiPath offers an end-to-end automation platform for automation. It can help firms to quickly scale their digital business processes due to the UiPath Platform, which combines the industry's top Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solution with a comprehensive set of features.
- Businesses in the APAC region have been rapidly transforming digital, placing some demand on cloud networks and data centers. Edge computing is developed to address the problems brought on by this situation. Organizations can minimize latency, improve security, and increase reliability by processing and storing data as close to the source as possible. Edge computing has proven essential in creating smart cities and businesses in the area, which is creating an opportunity for the Digital Assurance Market in the region because companies want to test their digital journey to increase their process visibility.
- Additionally, emerging economies like India embrace digital transformation led by government initiatives and technological vendor investments. For instance, Google Inc's parent company Alphabet announced an Investment fund of USD 10 billion through the India Digitization Fund towards building India-specific use cases and providing support to Indian companies towards digital transformation. Google further indicated the development of a low-cost OS that would run 5G services. These instances are set to leverage the adoption of digital assurances in the region.
