The tech landscape is undergoing a seismic shift as no-code and low-code platforms democratise app development. By 2025, these tools are projected to power over 65% of new business applications, enabling non-developers to build sophisticated software with minimal coding. Let’s explore how this revolution is transforming industries.

"No-code isn’t just a tool—it’s a movement. By 2025, the ability to build software will be as common as using Excel."

Why No-Code/Low-Code is the Future of App Development

Traditional coding is no longer the only path to creating functional apps. No-code/low-code platforms (like Bubble, Appian, and OutSystems) use visual interfaces, drag-and-drop components, and AI-assisted logic to accelerate development.

Key Drivers of Adoption:

• Speed to Market - Build apps in days instead of months.
• Cost Efficiency - Reduce reliance on expensive developer teams.
• Accessibility - Empower marketers, entrepreneurs, and SMEs to create bespoke tools.
• Scalability - Cloud-native platforms grow with your business needs.

"Example: A small business owner can now launch an e-commerce app without writing a single line of code."
