Hence, the growing engagement of users on social media using mobile devices is considered the most significant driver of the BaaS market.

Ongoing developments further augment the market in the coming time. For instance, in September 2019, Oracle rolled out the updated version of the Oracle Mobile Cloud service. The updated version is integrated with Oracle data centers, which helps migrate Oracle Mobile Hub.

What are the Factors Hampering the Global Backend-As-A-Service Industry?

Developing BaaS within enterprise premises demands a higher cost of initial investment, time, and effort. Further, the complexities involved, such as mode of deployment, development, and infrastructure cost, inhibit the adoption of BaaS.

SMEs have budget constraints that hinder the transformation of the IT infrastructure. Therefore, enterprises are sometimes hesitant to opt for cloud mobile BaaS systems.

However, rising smartphone adoption, increasing specialized cloud sets, and the growing number of application drives bode well for the market in the forecast period and also act as a significant counter to the aforementioned hampering factors.
