Global Freelance Management Platforms Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Freelance management platforms help businesses organize their freelance and contract workforces. These platforms manage all aspects of the relationship between individual freelancers and businesses that employ them, including onboarding, contracts, project management, and payments. Businesses use freelancer management systems to maintain data on their temporary workers and the tasks they have been assigned, enabling companies to efficiently monitor the projects they have outsourced to freelancers. Freelancer management platforms can also streamline the process of paying freelancers for completed jobs.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Freelance Management Platforms market finds that the global Freelance Management Platforms market reached a value of USD 3997.75 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 10825.12 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 18.06% during the forecast period.

The development trend of mixed labor

Contract workers provide inherent flexibility, as well as many of the main benefits that can be brought about by reorganizing the post-COVID-19 organization into a mixed workforce. Now, agility is more important than ever because they are forced to change and transform quickly during the peak of the pandemic. In fact, companies rely heavily on contract workers to improve operational efficiency, and the mix of full-time and freelancers provides them with a competitive advantage.
Since 2020, many companies’ businesses have been hit, and they have been forced to cut costs or re-evaluate their operations and spending methods to improve efficiency. As companies are still focused on driving revenue and rebuilding, anything that is considered a competitive advantage will become a priority. Companies find that freelancers can help build businesses, so a mix of full-time and freelancers will become commonplace.

Impact from the Long-term

When the COVID-19 pandemic ends, the remote work model and the risks established by remote employees will not end. However, after the outbreak of the epidemic, many governments have introduced a series of policies and programs to help the economy recover, and plan to make key investments and support in their respective fields. This will undoubtedly continue to promote the development of the freelance management platforms market. Because even if there is no remote work during COVID-19, offices are increasingly transitioning to freelance management platforms due to improved security. Therefore, the freelance management platforms industry has an immeasurable long-term impact.

Political Factors

From a political perspective, the government lacks laws to protect freelancers. In fact, the gig economy is exempt from certain government taxes. Because of their status as self-employed entities, many workers cannot enjoy the guarantees and rights that labor unions and labor development have spent more than a century to achieve.
In addition, most workers in the gig economy are not protected by the “laws that do not allow a minimum wage” clause. They have no unemployment benefits or paid sick leave; they cannot enjoy retirement annuity benefits; and they are not covered by laws governing working hours. Freelancers are emerging in this new market segment, but they have no protection and are driven by the platform associated with them. This reality may lead to changes in regulations governing platforms for freelancers in the future.

Economic Factors

As far as the freelance management platforms business is concerned, economic factors are very important. Whether it is online business or physical business, economic factors will have a significant impact on it. Because economic factors are directly related to enterprises, their impact is also directly related to the income and profits of enterprises.
Compared with traditional work, freelance is a new way of working. Although freelancers earn lower incomes than traditional workers, they have grown in the past five years. The rapid growth of this sector has caused the freelance management platforms economy to quickly become an important part of the global economy.
