ACCOUNTING BOOKKEEPING SOFTWARE MARKET SEGMENTATION

BY TYPE

Based on type, the global market can be categorised into Cloud-Based Accounting Software and On-Premises Software.

• Cloud-Based Accounting Software: The market is being led by the usage of cloud-based software quite heavily, which is because it offers highly desirable features such as scalability, affordability, and accessibility to companies that adopt these systems. In order to handle their accounting and taxation procedures, businesses no longer need to make significant infrastructure investments and they can use online servers which are accessible to any authorised company user.

• On-Premises Software: Due to its ability to store data locally on physical company servers, this kind of software increases the ability of businesses to maintain security while closely monitoring all the activity happening on their server, that too without compromising on the privacy of their data.

BY APPLICATION/DOWNSTREAM INDUSTRY

Based on application/downstream industry, the global market can be categorised into Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Large Enterprises.

• Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs): As SMEs try to improve the state of their finance related operations, there is an observation of a steady increase in the demand for accounting software from these businesses. All major players are now in need of the ability to efficiently manage their finances with limited resources, which is made possible by adopting highly effective and cost-efficient cloud-based solutions. The software helps in supporting the SMEs' entire business operations by assisting with tasks pertaining to finance and tax management such as payroll, tax computations, financial reporting as well as generating invoices.

• Large Enterprises: Bigger businesses typically use more sophisticated accounting softwares, and they therefore frequently go for on-premises software options so that they can exercise more control over their data’s security and its management. Such large businesses are in recent times being forced to adopt new hybrid solutions, which will combine the best of cloud features with their current on-premises accounting infrastructures, a shift which is happening because of the growing trend of digitalization, which makes traditional on-site systems outdated in terms of computing features.

MARKET DYNAMICS

Market dynamics include driving and restraining factors, opportunities and challenges stating the market conditions.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Increased Adoption of Cloud Solutions Leading to Cost Efficiency"

The increase of cloud-based Accounting Bookkeeping Software Market growth is on a constant and steady rise amongst businesses as it greatly lessens the requirement for a sizable upfront investment in IT infrastructure, which was earlier required in case a company wanted to set up a traditional physical server for their financial needs. However, since businesses are now looking for a much more flexible and of course affordable way to handle their accounting needs, they have taken a keen interest in these affordable online or cloud-based solutions.

"Rising Demand for Automation Due to Enhanced Productivity"

Because the automation of finance or tax related tasks reduces manual labour, saves times and boosts productivity of employees at the same time, it has become an essential part of accounting. Businesses in all sectors are therefore prioritising operational efficiency by automating their accounting processes by using dedicated softwares, whether cloud based or on physical servers. This in turn reduces the chances for errors and improves the overall accuracy of their operations, which is why the demand for sophisticated software solutions is going up.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

"Data Security Concerns Affecting Cloud Software Adoption"

Although cloud-based solutions have offered a wide range of benefits to the companies that adopt them, there are still a few establishments which have worries or concerns about their data’s security, which continues to be a major barrier for the growth of the industry. The fears of cyberattacks or data breaches prevent many businesses from adopting cloud solutions in their existing systems, since handling such sensitive financial information securely is a very important factor for them, which can impede adoption rates in particular industry sectors such as banking or medical institutions.

OPPORTUNITY

"Emerging Markets Driving Growth of Cloud-Based Solutions"

Latin American and Asia Pacific nations are rapidly making the shift towards digital systems and adopting accounting and bookkeeping softwares across a variety of fields and industries. Accountancy software demand is therefore expected to rise as SMEs in these geographical regions increasingly adopt cloud-based technologies and systems, which helps market participants in leveraging a profitable opportunity that offers new features as well as decreases the amount of costs incurred.
