Property Management Software Market Driver

Increase in Demand for SaaS  

• There are several variables that have been contributing to the rapid expansion of the software as a service market, including the increased utilization of hybrid & public cloud-based solutions, tool integration & centralized data-driven analytics. Software as a Service has had substantial implications for the property management software market due to its affordable accessibility & scalability, less IT complexity & greater deployment rates.  

Exponential Growth of the Real Estate Industry 

• The real estate domain is one of the fastest-growing sectors globally, expected to generate US$ 5.89 Trillion by 2030. Some key contributors to the growth are population expansion, urbanization, and growing investment in the residential and commercial corpus. With the increase in volume, property managers are scouting for software solutions to manage multiple properties with complex data.  

Restraints 

High Cost Associated with PMS  

• The key constraint is associated with the cost of implementing property management software. The software may require several types of investments from licenses to implementation, maintenance, and training or subscription. The total cost of ownership may also include additional investment in the hardware and system to store the software and its implementation, support, and training costs. Thus, for small to medium-sized property management companies or individual property owners who have limited budgets, the implementation costs of property management software may be too high.

Data Security Concern

• Property management software involves both sensitive information and important data such as tenant data, various financial records, and property characteristics. Many companies prefer not to use cloud-based software because of the fear of data security and privacy breaches, let alone the necessity to comply with GDPR or CCPA. These privacy concerns related to software vendor can be a major setback for the market growth if the service providers fail to implement proper safety means.
