Market Challenges And Opportunities
Presentation Software Market Drivers:
- Surging Adoption Of Cloud-Based Presentation Software: The adoption of cloud-based presentation software has been rapidly increasing globally. With the spread of remote and hybrid work culture, more businesses are leveraging online tools to facilitate collaborations and connections between distributed teams. Cloud-based presentation platforms have emerged as a convenient and cost-effective solution. They allow users to create, edit, and share presentations from any device with an internet connection. This has motivated many organizations, especially small and medium enterprises, to shift from desktop-based alternatives to cloud-native offerings.The ubiquitous availability and easy accessibility of these software-as-a-service (SaaS) options have accelerated their popularity. Users can access cloud presentations using familiar tools like web browsers without needing to download or install separate applications. This has boosted their appeal exponentially. Additionally, cloud platforms enable real-time co-editing which is invaluable for remote meetings and brainstorming sessions. Multiple contributors can work on a file simultaneously from disparate physical locations. Features like comments and feedback have facilitated more productive virtual collaboration. For instance, on November 2, 2020, Scala, a leader in marketing technology, announced the release of Scala Designer Cloud, a powerful web-based media presentation and design tool featuring an easy-to-use, intuitive user interface that enables creation of compelling and engaging digital signage media. Designer Cloud is built into Scala Enterprise 12, enabling users to effortlessly create and publish projects to the SaaS-based Content Manager. This simplifies scheduling and playback on Scala media players that operate on either Linux or Windows platforms.
- Rising adoption of AR and VR in presentations: Integration of immersive technologies like augmented reality and virtual reality in presentations is an emerging driver for the market. AR overlays digital information onto real environments. VR transports users into simulated environments. For example, Canva (an online graphic design platform that is used to create social media graphics and presentations) recently introduced AR capability in its presentation app, thereby allowing presenters to project slides onto the surrounding space by using mobile cameras. According to the recent surveys by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), in 2021, over 50% of companies have started exploring or are using AR/VR for digital learning and training presentations. This trend is fast gaining prominence particularly in sectors like education, healthcare, engineering, and others where complex concepts are demonstrated.
Presentation Software Market Opportunities:
- Integration of advanced analytics and AI: Integration of analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning in presentation software unlocks significant opportunities for data-driven and contextually relevant presentations. Presentation tools can analyze audience engagement, provide real-time feedback to the presenter, suggest design improvements, and automatically create presentation decks by inputting raw data or content from documents and spreadsheets. According to data provided by the United Nations, the global shift to remote and hybrid work caused by the pandemic is projected to remain a long-term trend, with 30-40% of the current global workforce expected to be working remotely by 2023.
- Integration of Ai And Machine Learning In Presentation Software: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) capabilities into presentation software represents a significant opportunity for the market. By harnessing the power of AI and ML, presentation software can offer a range of innovative features that enhance user experience and productivity. These technologies enable smart suggestions for design layouts, content recommendations, and automated formatting, thus streamlining the presentation creation process and saving users valuable time. AI-driven analytics can provide insights into audience engagement and effectiveness, thus, allowing presenters to optimize their content for maximum impact. AI-powered features such as natural language processing (NLP) can facilitate voice-controlled presentations and real-time translation, catering to diverse audiences and enhancing accessibility. For instance, on January 11, 2023, Beautiful.ai, an online presentation software launched DesignerBot, a generative AI powered by advanced technology from OpenAI. DesignerBot is engineered to automate the process of creating presentations and generating custom images. By simply providing a brief text prompt, users can leverage DesignerBot to produce fully developed presentations featuring appropriate text, layouts, photos, icons, and designs. This AI-driven solution caters to a wide range of needs across business, educational, and personal domains, generating content and slides for various purposes such as pitch decks, sales proposals, marketing presentations, and conceptual ideas. By utilizing cutting-edge AI capabilities, Beautiful.ai aims to streamline the presentation creation process, thus, enabling users to effortlessly generate visually appealing and impactful presentations with minimal effort.
