The global mobile device management (MDM) market is determined to extend from USD 30.77 billion in 2024 to arrive at USD 85.92 billion by 2029, garnering a CAGR of 22.8% during the conjecture period.
Smartphones and various other mobile devices are now part of our daily life. These mobile devices are vulnerable to security threats. Mobile Device Management (MDM) is software used by IT departments to monitor, protect, and store information on mobile devices. Several organizations use third-party MDM software to manage their mobile devices.
Mobile Device Management (MDM) helps businesses protect, monitor, deploy, integrate, and manage mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktops. Mobile Device Management provides a number of services, such as remote device configuration and management, inventory and asset management, operating system installation and upgrades, and management of application levels and costs. Mobile device management comes down to adding an extra layer of security and ensuring a way to monitor device activity. It provides device platform-specific functions such as device encryption, platform-specific policies, and SD card encryption. Tracking geographic location, connectivity profiles (VPN, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth), and many other functions are part of the MDM suite.
With the rapidly increasing trend of BYOD, a new set of considerations for connectivity, security, management, and privacy are emerging. The employees of each company have different mobile service providers, and the devices run on different operating systems. The risks inherent in the BYOD policy have resulted in the use of mobile device management software by an IT department to manage, monitor, and protect employees' smartphones, laptops, tablets, and other mobile devices that are used in the workplace.
Cloud-based deployment is expected to experience a faster growth rate in the market as the solution is rapidly adopted by various organizations across the enterprise landscape due to its flexible, fluid, scalable, and affordable functionality.
In addition, cloud-based solutions enable IT teams to have functions such as enrolling, locking, managing and protecting devices remotely. Modern mobile devices use different operating systems which require regular firmware updates of their platforms for the proper functioning of the device. A MDM solution on cloud allows faster response compared to an on-premises solution in terms of upgrades.
Several end-user verticals, like manufacturing, transportation, utilities, telecommunications, logistics, and retail, prefer cloud-based MDM owing to the benefits they offer. In addition, several small and medium-sized enterprises are also turning towards cloud solutions because of budget constraints and the ease of access to such solutions.
The growing trend of bringing your own device (BYOD) to the workplace has increased the need for mobile device management software. The growing number of cloud-based infrastructures around the world has driven the market. Mobile device management software offers several advantages to companies, such as automation, which saves time, increases productivity, improves security and remote management, and thus allows the market to develop in a healthy way.
However, due to privacy concerns, many employees in an organization have been reluctant to implement the MDM solution on their mobile devices, which could affect the growth of the market.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, service companies are increasingly embracing the work-from-home culture. The risk of any employee working remotely greatly increases the risk of non-compliance and poses a risk to the most sensitive business data. To mitigate these risks, companies need to take countermeasures such as adopting mobile device management applications to increase surveillance and security features that will only drive market demand for MDM systems.
