How Big is the Global Low-Code/No-Code Market and How Fast is it Growing?

The Low-Code and No-Code development platform market has seen huge growth over the past several years – but just how big is the market and how fast is it growing?

Various research companies have published data that estimates the size of the Low-Code/No-Code market and its forecasted growth. Below, you will find a compilation of this data from several different research companies. We have only included articles and reference data from 2020 and later.

Note that these articles typically combine figures for Low-Code and No-Code platforms together. Since the Low-Code market is more mature and currently larger than No-Code, these figures often refer to Low-Code explicitly.

These numbers show quite a bit of variability since each outlet uses different methodologies, assumptions, and data sets. Instead of picking one data set over the others, we decide to combine all of the data, assuming equal weight, and calculate their ranges and averages by year.

The chart below shows the estimated market size in US$ billion by year from each study. The estimated market size is between US$13.3 and 17.7 billion in 2021 and it is projected to grow to US$ 58.8 - 125.4 billion in 2027.

As expected, the numbers start showing larger variability the further out the prediction.

We also calculated averages by year. The average forecasted market size is expected to grow from US$ 16.1 billion in 2021 to US$ 84.8 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 31.9 %.

Below is the range and average values of the data from the studies listed above.
