The approaches “ low code ” And “ no code » are gaining popularity. And this is all the more true in France, which is becoming an increasingly favorable market for this sector.
Rising demand in SMEs
At the end of October, Station F hosted the third edition of the NoCode Summit. This event, described as the most important in the world dedicated to “ no code ” And ” low code », brought together more than 2,500 participants. This is more than double compared to the first edition, which counted 1,200.
As a reminder, these software development approaches allow you to create applications without needing to master complex programming. It allows users without skills in this area to create applications using a 100% visual interface, often by dragging and dropping elements.
These increasingly popular platforms meet the needs of businesses, especially SMEs, seeking to accelerate the creation of digital solutions, often to automate processes or design internal applications, while reducing costs and development time.
The fact that the NoCode Summit was held in Paris seems logical. France is one of the largest global markets for “ no code », According to Emmanuel Straschnov, French co-founder of Bubble, a company specializing in the discipline.
Structuring of the sector in France
And it’s not for nothing: the climate is favorable to the expansion of this approach in France. In 2021, the French Union of No Code Professionals (SFPN) was created, making it possible to structure and legitimize this industry. The latter thus participated in the official recognition of the profession of “ product builder no code » by the State.
This context favors the birth of young shoots in the sector. Many of them have emerged in recent years. SuperForge, for example, supports early stage startups in the design and development of their product, using “ no code “. Alegria specializes in both “no code” development support and the training of professionals in the sector.
Demand is expected to continue to rise in the coming years. According to the analysis firm Gartner, 70% of new enterprise applications will be created in “ no code ” Or ” low code » by 2025, compared to 25% in 2020. A trend logically accelerated by the rise of artificial intelligence (AI).
