Growing demand towards minimizing operational costs for application development is positively impacting the growth of Platform as a Service (PaaS) market:

 Growing demand towards minimizing operational costs for application development act as a major factor driving the market growth of Platform as a service (Paas). Adoption of Paas technology helps in eliminating the need to purchase hardware & independent tools, reducing time spent on maintaining stack, minimizing unforeseen expenses during downtime, and so on, which in turn is driving the market growth forward. With the constant demand for solutions capable of reducing time to market with faster application development processes, there is significant deployment of Paas by developers to ensure rapid prototyping and configuration, while gaining access to complete software development environments in real-time. Furthermore, PaaS lowers costs by avoiding capital equipment expenses associated with building & scaling an application platform, eliminate the cost of software licensing, lowers overall application management costs by handling patches, updates, & other administrative tasks, and much more. In October 2020, DigitalOcean announced the launch of a new platform as a service offering, named DigitalOcean App Platform, capable of automating infrastructure management in order to help developers in the deployment of codes to production within seconds. This development was meant to advance its managed services strategy for simplifying cloud computing, ensuring higher focus of developers and small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) towards software creation. According to UpCity's May 2022 Costs of Developing a Mobile App Survey, 29% of companies spend $10,001-$15,000 on application development discovery phase costs, and 21% of companies spend $10,001-$15,000 on an average to design apps in the pre-development process. These factors have been eventually contributing towards boosting the market growth towards platform as a service (PaaS) for minimizing application development costs in the long run.

Increasing adoption of cloud-based services and IoT technology among SMEs is propelling the growth of platform as a service (PaaS ) market:

 Increasing adoption of cloud-based services and IoT technology among the small & medium enterprises are propelling the platform as a service (PaaS) market forward.
