According to the latest research, the global PDF SDK market size was valued at USD 189.42 million in 2022 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 8.65% during the forecast period, reaching USD 311.52 million by 2028.
SDK is a software development toolkit designed to work with PDF documents. It is a tool that lets programmers create applications that can convert documents between formats (PDF, HTML, Word, etc.).
Influence of COVID-19 Outbreak on PDF SDK Industry Development
Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus in December 2019, the disease has spread to nearly 100 countries around the world, and the World Health Organization has declared it an emergency public health event. The COVID-19 epidemic is infected a large number of people, and its spread and scope far exceed SARS. At present, the number of confirmed cases Worldwide has exceeded 56 million. Different industries are affected differently by the epidemic situation.
According to a recent survey by the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), in the USA, approximately 80% of manufacturers expect a pandemic to have a financial impact on their business. Some major industrial companies have closed factories and considered the scope of layoffs to help curb the spread of the virus, as well as for economic reasons. This has also caused a higher unemployment rate in the history of the United States. And the bankruptcy of the enterprise and high unemployment rate will destroy the supply chain of the PDF SDK market and bring influence PDF SDK providers in a certain way.
Secondly, due to the outbreak of COVID-19, the sales and supply of many companies have been seriously affected, but many Internet companies rose against the trend in this epidemic. Although the overall demand has weakened, the real demand still exists, but the content and form of demand under the epidemic have changed somewhat. Therefore, to seek a way of life, many companies have strengthened online business, such as online offices, online marketing, and so on. And because the PDF SDK is mainly used in programming-based environments like Java, Php, Python, and other web-based applications, therefore, this part is less affected by the epidemic
Market Driver Analysis
Downstream demand is steadily increasing
As a rigid requirement, the operation of any enterprise is inseparable from the use of PDF. The SDK is a software development kit designed to work with PDF documents. It is a tool that programmers can use to create applications that can convert documents between formats (PDF, HTML, Word, etc.). The PDF SDK is the foundation for enterprise PDF management. The development of the global economy provides a solid driving force for the development of enterprises, and more and more enterprises, as well as the growing demand for data management, provide sufficient impetus for the development of the PDF SDK.
Emerging country: China
China's economy has grown considerably in recent years. According to relevant data, the number of private companies in China has increased by more than 31 times between 1996 and 2017. At the same time, the Portable Document Format (PDF) has become the most popular for presenting and exchanging electronic documents. The method is widely used in China. As a result, the growing number of small and medium-sized businesses has expanded the market's demand for PDF SDKs, driving the development of the PDF SDK.
Market Restraints Analysis
Technological innovation is an important means for the company to maintain its bargaining advantage and resist competition in the same industry. If the company's technology research and development and product upgrades cannot continue to grasp the changing trends of downstream industries and final consumer demand, and the company's new product design and development capabilities cannot meet the needs of customers, the company will not be able to continue to gain in the industry competitive advantage, leading to business loss or customer loss.
Market Trends Analysis
The PDF file format has been introduced by Adobe for a long time, and it has been perfected today, and it has been widely used in various industries. Because the PDF file format is widely used, many people are paying attention to this market. For developers, the dedicated PDF SDK is an indispensable tool. Many large companies currently support open-source PDF SDKs and tools to enable users to get a better experience. However, many open-source PDF SDKs lack a reliable update schedule, may even stop development altogether and are often unexpected. Open-source PDF SDKs and tools are often only good at one function (for example, drawing, writing, rendering, printing, etc.), while professional PDF SDKs are usually built on industry-leading technology that performs well on all functions. What's more, open-source libraries may only support one platform. For example, there are C# only libraries, Linux-only libraries, and more, but few (if any) support all platforms. On the other hand, many professional PDF SDKs are usually Multi-platform, allowing developers to develop once and port multiple times.
