The Collaborative Whiteboard Software Market size is expected to grow from USD 2.16 billion in 2023 to USD 4.90 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 17.80% during the forecast period (2023-2028).
With millions of people suddenly working from home because of COVID-19's impact, collaboration tools are witnessing considerable spikes in demand. Microsoft revealed its Microsoft Teams collaboration and communication service had seen a 775% increase in monthly users in Italy, where social-distancing measures or shelter-in-place orders have been enforced. Companies such as Ernst & Young, SAP, Continental AG, and Accenture, which have over 440,000 employees, are using Microsoft Teams.
The market is still in the early stages of adoption, and vendors are actively looking to expand their user base. For instance, Miro boasts a strong user base of 20 million users. Large enterprises, such as Microsoft, have a significantly higher user base as they can leverage their other enterprise solution offering to integrate the solution as part of the bundle or separately. The growing number of new players is further intensifying the competitive space. Due to the increasing demand, the market for these solutions and services is quite active for both legacy and newer players. While several key technology companies (Microsoft and Google) pioneered this space, the market has seen the rise of a range of niche players (Miro and Crayon) who are giving the category leaders fierce competition by offering more features, competitive pricing, and integration to the existing suite of applications.
Overall, the intensity of the competitive rivalry is moderate and expected to increase during the forecast period.
