The advance occurs in a context of pressure for efficiency, a shortage of specialized professionals, and a growing need for integration between operations and technology
The technology ecosystem is experiencing an accelerated expansion movement around low-code platforms, driven by the need of companies to reduce development cycles and expand operational autonomy. Projections from Fortune Business Insights estimate that the global market will reach more than 260 billion dollars by 2032, a volume almost nine times greater than that registered today.
The trend reflects a structural change in the way organizations build digital solutions. Visual interfaces combined with automation and artificial intelligence resources allow business areas to participate directly in the creation of internal systems, reducing the exclusive dependence on IT teams. According to Gartner, by the end of this year, more than 65% of new business applications will be developed on low-code platforms.
The advance occurs in a context of pressure for efficiency, a shortage of specialized professionals, and a growing need for integration between operations and technology. In many cases, creating internal applications without the complexity of traditional development becomes a strategic factor for maintaining competitiveness.
In Brazil, the scenario follows the same direction. The combination of increasing internal demands and limited technical labor favors tools that accelerate prototyping, simplify flows, and allow continuous adjustments. This movement is spread across diverse areas — from logistics and service to sales, finance, and data management — where quick responses have a direct impact on the operation.
For Beto Yunes, CTIO at Globalsys, the phenomenon reveals a paradigm shift. In his assessment, relying solely on traditional models no longer meets the pace of organizations, and the combination of AI and low-code expands the ability to automate routines and distribute development responsibility among different teams.
The growing adoption of these platforms indicates that low-code is consolidating itself not only as a trend, but as part of the technological infrastructure that supports continuous digital transformation. As companies reconfigure their internal processes, the topic should gain strategic relevance in the coming years, influencing both the way of thinking about system architecture and the role of the teams involved in innovation.
