Unified Endpoint Management Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Component (Solution, Services), By Organization Size (SMEs, Large Enterprises), By Vertical, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2020 - 2027

Report Overview

The global unified endpoint management market size was valued at USD  2.75 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 32.2% from 2020 to 2027. The advancement in computing systems and applications is surging the IT asset footprints across the globe. Organizations are increasingly transitioning and adopting higher endpoint models to meet the hardware requirements for the updated OS systems such as Windows 10 and ChromeOS. With the growing usage of endpoints such as laptops, tablets, mobile phones, and desktops across enterprises, the need to manage these endpoints using a single platform increases. Thus, the demand for a unified solution is growing with the rise adoption of advanced endpoints among organizations. The rise in the trend of implementing policies for allowing personal devices to access organization data is another factor that surges market growth.

Amongst such policies, Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is a growing phenomenon among enterprises to improve employee productivity. Wherein, enterprises allow their employees to share enterprise data over their own devices. The increased sharing of data over different devices surges the organization's complexities and challenges to manage the devices. Thus, to overcome such IT complexities, the need for the Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solution is growing and is anticipated to boost the demand over the forecast period.

In recent times, the market has gained immense popularity owing to its diverse approach to managing endpoint devices. From mobile security to mobile device management and application management to enterprise mobility management, all are uniformly managed through a single platform or solution. Moreover, the unified platform or solution also helps enterprises comply with stringent government regulations and policies. For instance, IBM MaaS360, a unified endpoint management platform that encrypts and secures every database and its contents while maintaining GDPR policy. Furthermore, the platform also offers IT admins and security admins with an extensive capability of auditing and reporting functionality, which in turn helps in meeting GDPR compliance requirements easily.

The growing adoption of heterogeneous devices or mobility devices that uses third-party networks other than the organization’s network is the other factor stimulating the need for UEM solutions. Using third-party networks increases not only cyber threat risks but also increases complexities for the IT administrators to manage endpoints that are pushed out of the organization network. As a result, it becomes difficult for the security and IT admins to track and manage endpoints in real-time. Hence, to support such circumstances effortlessly, UEM solutions allow admins with a unified approach to monitor and configure endpoints easily from a central location. This, in turn, increases the adoption of UEM solutions among enterprises.

The trend towards remote working and work at home policies implemented by organizations also stimulates market growth. The recent COVID-19 impact has further motivated every enterprise and business to transition its business operations towards the remote working environment. As a result of the critical situation, companies have begun implementing a BYOD program or issued enterprise-owned devices. Hence, to maintain and manage unified communication and collaboration with the teams and to provide required access to corporate resources while maintaining productivity, the need for UEM solution is expected to grow.

Unified Endpoint Management Market Trends

The increasing importance of data security and need of single solution to manage increasing number of traditional and non-traditional data points is expected to drive the UEM market.

UEM vendors are engaged in integrating artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies in the UEM solutions to enhance and automate their core capabilities such as application and content management, endpoint security, and remote access and control. An AI powered UEM solution also provides advanced endpoint security by tracking login time, malware attacks, geo-location, behavioral patterns, automated breach, and more. This helps the end users in mitigating any cyber-attacks as well as effectively automate the management of large number of end point devices across private and corporate networks. Such advanced technologies are expected to increase the adoption go UEM solutions, thereby bolstering market growth.

The emerging trend of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), Choose Your Own Device (CYOD), and Internet of Things (IoT) are some of the primary factors expected to drive the UEM market growth. The aforementioned trends have led to an increase in the number of IT devices, both private and corporate, which has created a need for the unified solution to assist IT admins manage the workflow and access across these devices. The growing number of endpoint devices and the high volume of data sharing across these devices is expected through private and corporate networks, is expected to increase the risk of cyber-attacks. As such, UEM solutions help an organization to manage the sharing and usage of applications and data on the end point devices, which is expected to drive the adoption of UEM solutions.

With increasing data flowing through devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops, and rising cyberattacks such as identity theft and fraud are influencing the need to establish data protection regulations. Due to the rising cyber threats directed at governments and private businesses, the importance of opting efficient solution that manages a huge fleet of devices connected to the network is increasing. Organizations are becoming familiar with the laws and are spending high on deploying unified endpoint management solutions that help them in safeguarding the data and complying with stringent government regulations and policies. For instance, IBM MaaS360 is a unified endpoint management platform that encrypts and secures every database and its contents while maintaining GDPR policy. The platform offers security admins with an extensive capability of auditing and reporting functionality, which in turn helps in meeting GDPR compliance requirements easily. Thus, demand from large and small enterprises for a unified endpoint management solution that provides enhanced visibility throughout the network, enhances IT Security, improves user experience, and reduces its management costs.
