Digital adoption market: Past, present and future (statistics)

Digital adoption market: Past, present and future (statistics)

Building applications are a challenge. But an even bigger problem is teaching employees or customers to use them. That is where the Digital Adoption Platforms (DAPs) specialize. They provide solutions without code or with limited coding to facilitate the digital transformation of companies. They act as middlemen to help employees or customers learn a digital application by breaking down the jargon-filled application environments. In essence, these companies help people adopt new digital environments with minimal effort.   

Most of these companies started as small-sized firms trying to make their mark in the 2010-2015 period. Initially, their products were poorly understood and only a handful of clients engaged their services. But in the last seven years, the firms have gained the trust of many established brands such as Microsoft, Symantec, HCL, and Verizon. Given the potential, lately investors have pledged millions to be part of their growth story. In fact, since 2020, the funding has improved leaps and bounds. The number of employees willing to work for these firms has improved too as the funding increased gradually over the years.

Chart 6 shows the growth story of these companies in terms of funding. Each line graph represents funding received by a DAP over the years since the start. Across all the companies, the story was similar. Understandably, they struggled to raise funds during the initial period, however, the recent years have attracted many investors. For instance, in the case of Walkme, the funding amounts took a sharp turn upwards in 2019 and the firm has not looked back since. It is worth noting that the funds have increased despite the impact of the pandemic on the world economy.
