The global virtual client software market was estimated to be $9.92 billion in 2020 and is calculated to grow at a CAGR of 23.0% from 2023 to 2028.
Virtual client computing offers desktop virtualization solutions to address the existing limitations related to the traditional distributed desktop framework. It is centrally managed on a server and runs on a client device. Although the operating system is updated and backed up to the server, a continuous network connection is not required for the operation of a guest virtual machine. The virtual client computing model is used to reduce the work effort and overall risk of clients, eliminating complexities and increasing flexibility and minimizing costs. Virtualization of the client computer has separated all the components of the system, such as the applications, the operating system and the hardware, and makes the components and their life cycles independent of each other. Due to the separation of workplace components from each other, the virtual client computing model allows the user's personality, applications, data, or entire workplace to be moved from the operator's device to the data center.
IT solutions for virtual customers provide IT departments with an efficient, cost-effective and secure way to centrally manage customer devices. IT departments use the local processor and computing capabilities of the customer's system to run processor-rich multimedia applications and for better user experience. The demand for virtual client computing devices for customers is increasing because in a traditional work environment, the widespread risk of data loss and theft makes it difficult to meet the needs of users.
The global virtual client computing market is witnessing huge development with the rising demand for agile labor, lower costs, improved user productivity, information security, and simplified IT management. Additionally, the demand for Virtual Client Computing is increasing due to the widespread risk of data theft and loss. As the trend of collecting data for business prospects continues to increase, companies are embracing digital transformation strategies through virtualization and automation to optimize costs.
The increase in the mobile workforce has led to continuous access to data. Therefore, through the implementation of client virtualization software, organizations can guarantee that employees can get an organization-like IT experience remotely around the world.
Market Drivers and Restraints
Virtual client computing technology consists of four software technologies, such as desktop virtualization, application virtualization, virtual user session, and user state virtualization. The global virtual client computing market is experiencing growth due to factors such as increased demand for a more agile workforce, lower costs, increased productivity needs and better user satisfaction, simplified IT management and increased information security. In addition to this, client computer virtualization has a significant impact on educational technology, as it improves operational efficiency, academic benefits. It also reduces IT overhead, improves security, makes it easier to manage student and administrator files, and provides easy access to the latest online applications in the learning environment.
The main factors holding back the growth of the market include challenges related to mobility and cost control. There are alternative products for virtual client computing that include thin client computing and zero client computing. Thin clients and zero clients are small form factors specially designed for the virtual office infrastructure. Thin client computing integrates better manageability and security into any infrastructure and makes desktop virtualization quick and easy. Although clientless devices require no configuration and require less configuration than a thin client.
