Performance Appraisal and Management Software Market Trends:
The escalating demand for simplified performance appraisal systems with accurate and unbiased analytics is a significant factor driving the market. This can be attributed to the decreasing number of work profiles requiring manual labor as well as the increasing volume of cloud-based data. In line with this, the growing need for privacy and security of an employee data by replacing traditional systems is providing an impetus to the market. Continual technological advancements in industry chain structures are also resulting in a higher product uptake in various end-use industries. Besides this, the rising adoption of online portals and mobile apps focusing on team-centric management by numerous end-use industries is creating lucrative growth opportunities in the market. The market is further fueled by the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and the internet of things (IoT) for providing analytical insights. Apart from this, the increasing number of start-ups is resulting in a higher product uptake across small and medium enterprises (SMEs). However, the rising threats of cyberattack and data breaches as well as difficulty in obtaining scalable results in short term are the factors restraining the market growth. On the contrary, the rise in expenditure on performance management solutions by larger organizations is creating a positive outlook for the market. Some of the other factors propelling the market include the increasing number of work-from-home (WFH) employees, the emerging trend of cloud computing, rapid industrialization, and extensive research and development (R&D) activities conducted by key players.
