Introduction: From the perspective of the business model of domestic low code/no code vendors, it can be divided into four categories, namely low code development platform, low code products, low code development functions and cloud vendors’ low code ecology. The global low code market was $7.1 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $15.4 billion by 2025.

Low code and no code

Low code and no code are similar in concept, but there is a difference in the actual application scenarios. No code is usually oriented to business personnel, while low code is mostly oriented to developers. No code generally refers to tools used in a variety of development niches, and low code specifically refers to general development tools:

1. Low code refers specifically to low code application development platforms (LCAPS). Leading analysts such as Forrester and Gartner have published reports on low code development platforms for many years. Representing companies such as Mendix, Outsystem, Salesforce, ServiceNow, etc.

2. The word “no code” is usually used to describe development tools in some subdivided fields, the most common is the application building platform (generally called App Builder abroad), such as Appy Pie abroad, Domestic Appropriate, Jiandaoyun, etc. It can also be used to describe online form tools like Airtable/AppSheet/Treelab or workflow tools like Lightflow, which are quite different.

3, at present, The concept Of Low Code, no Code mutual confluence, according to Forrester, “The State Of Low – Code Platforms In China, 2021, zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/438994088, Vendors that have no code (such as matchmaker, etc.) also fall into the low code category.

Second, market size

1. According to Gartner, the global low code market is estimated to be usd 7.1 billion in 2021 and USD 15.4 billion in 2025, with a 25% CAGR in 19-25. The market size of low code in China is $120 million in 2021 and is expected to reach $310 million in 2025, with a CAGR of 34.2% in 19-25.

2. Globally, the major players of low code include Salesforce, Microterminal, ServiceNow, Mendix, Outsystems, etc. Their products are mainly low code application development platform (LCAP).

3. There are many products without codes in the domestic market. According to the revenue scale of competing products, the market size of low-code platform + non-code products in China is about 300 million US dollars, mainly represented by Kingdee, Yonyou, Red Circle CRM, Aozhe, Jiandaoyun, AliyunYitian and Partner Cloud;

Application scenarios and industry types

Application scenarios

In terms of application scenarios for low-code/no-code products, there are 12 categories:

1. In terms of technical form, the distinction between low code and no code is no longer clear. In general, low code usually corresponds to development scenarios and mainly serves professional developers, while no code is closely related to general/vertical scenarios and mainly serves various business personnel.

2. In terms of capital market heat, low code/no code products for development and general purpose scenarios (except online forms) are getting more attention.

3. The low code/no code platforms in China are mostly focused on online form building and vertical scene tools.

Industry type

Low codes are currently mainly used in banking, insurance, retail, medical, government, manufacturing, telecommunications and construction industries in China. In traditional industries:

1. Financial scenario: China Construction Bank adopts Aozhe Cloudvot to build a unified low code platform (LCDP) for its distributed development team.

2. Retail scene: Incredibly Home developed more than 400 management and financial applications by utilizing Alibaba Cloud’s Yimatch.com, improving its operational efficiency by 60%; Auto dealer YUantong Automotive needed a procurement supply chain system to manage sales and inventory processes, and after rapid development with YonBuilder, it could deliver seven form-based processes per day without hiring additional developers.

3. Medical scenario: Siemens Magnetic Resonance Shenzhen, a subsidiary of Siemens Healthcare, developed more than 50 custom application systems using Joget DX, which was put into production within five years, saving millions of dollars.

4. Government affairs scenario: Suzhou chooses Huawei AppCube as the designated support system of the industrial park, uses AppCube to provide a unified platform in the park construction, and develops and reuses more than 60 business applications; Sichuan province chose to use Tencent Cloud to develop a provincial health platform, which was completed within 10 days with half the labor cost of traditional development methods to assist epidemic prevention and control.

5. Manufacturing scenario: THE IT team of CIMC Vehicles built a new product certification management system using Mendix DevOps tools, and completed the platform construction within two months, rapidly improving efficiency; Tianjin Daqiao Food replaces its traditional business management with the process management built on the clean flow low code platform, and it is integrated into the mobile team messaging application, so that employees can operate more smoothly.

6. Communication scenarios: CITIC Telecom CPC used OutSystems to deliver the first augmented reality application for mobile devices in just 4 months, supporting innovation and application delivery standards in a low-code way; China Mobile chose Brocade Information’s Yigo Platform to build a supply chain management system integrated with ITS ERP, BOSS, planning and asset management systems.

7. Architectural Scene: Since 2019, Henan Guoji Construction Group has been building its own ERP system based on Sail software, covering. Bidding, project management, human resource management, group financial management, etc.

Low code platform is widely applied in TMT and manufacturing industry in China: TMT (universal Mutual) and manufacturing industry are the industries with the highest practical application degree of low code platform. These two industries have high informatization degree and many similar parts in the industrial workflow, so low code development is first accepted.

conclusion

1, low code generally refers to the aPaaS, belongs to the PaaS layer application development platform, mainly through the visual development environment, reduce the demand for application when writing to the source code, developers can through the graphical user interface, using drag and drop components and logic of model driven to create web pages and mobile applications.

2, low code and no concept of code, but the difference in their practical application scenario, no code is often geared to the needs of business personnel, low code for developers, more heat from the capital market, to develop links and products for general scenario low code/no code received more attention, the star of the financing on the market company more gathered in this part.

3. According to Gartner, the global market for low code will be $7.1 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $15.4 billion in 2025 with a CAGR of 25% in 19-25. Of this, the low code market size in China is $120 million in 2021 and is expected to reach $310 million in 2025, with a CAGR of 34.2% in 19-25.

4. Domestic low-code platforms pay more attention to meet the particularity of enterprise business needs. Compared with foreign giants who started late, it is difficult to imitate the product route. From the perspective of the business model of domestic low code/no code manufacturers, it can be divided into four categories, namely low code development platform, low code products, low code development function and low code ecology of cloud manufacturers.
