Market Overview

Technological advancements and smartphone penetration have seen millions of customers purchasing advanced mobile devices for personal use. A majority of the global workforce is using these devices at work, integrating them into their daily workflow. This trend is often referred to as‘Bring Your Own Device (BYOD).’Currently, enterprises, specifically SMEs, are contemplating how to integrate employees’ personal devices in enterprise infrastructures. The BYOD trend is acting as a catalyst in encouraging the IT sector to prioritize an employee's efficiency without compromising security while enhancing enterprise mobility. A research study by Cisco revealed that 89% of IT departments enable BYOD in some form.

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Market – Maturity Phase

With the widespread adoption of the concept, the global BYOD market is estimated to be in the maturity phase, characterized by intense competition. Companies are increasingly embracing the BYOD concept to lower infrastructure costs and increase productivity.

Market Dynamics

Employee Satisfaction & Productivity

BYOD is increasingly attracting and retaining employees as employees are happier with choices. Allowing employees to use their personal devices facilitates flexibility and, subsequently, fosters employee satisfaction. Employees are often more content to work on their desired personal devices rather than those selected by an IT department. With a BYOD policy and more autonomy, employees can complete the same tasks more conveniently and with a higher level of flexibility. Moreover, mobile employees can remain connected on the road and attend to tasks at any hour. Doing away with the hassle of switching from a personal to a work device is another key benefit of a BYOD environment. A research study conducted by Capgemini found that 19% of businesses considered BYOD as a way to enhance employee satisfaction, while 17% believed BYOD could improve productivity at the workplace. A case in point here is Cisco. The company recorded a 33% increase in employee satisfaction with the implementation of the BYOD concept. It is also noteworthy that the company did not pay for the devices or service plans. Another example can be Needham Bank, a U.S.-based community bank, which deployed a remote desktop solution to improve employee productivity through BYOD. Since the implementation of BYOD, the bank’s number of remote and mobile users increased 11 times while time spent working remotely grew an astounding 120 times.

Reduced Hardware Cost for Enterprises

When employees use their own personal devices for work purposes, companies save capital expenditures of hardware, software, and related IT operational expenses, which facilitates considerable cost savings if employees are ready to endure the cost of purchasing, maintaining, and upgrading the devices.

Smartphone Penetration

A majority of the global population today owns smartphones, and internet connectivity is faster than ever before, with its reach extending to rural as well as semi-urban areas. This scenario has been fostering the growth of the BYOD market, with companies looking to improve their offerings in a bid to capture larger shares of the pie. For instance, In March 2018, BlackBerry and Microsoft partnered to support smooth workflow and empower the mobile workforce with the seamless availability of Microsoft’s mobile apps within BlackBerry Dynamics, providing enterprise users an unfluctuating experience while opening, editing, and saving a Microsoft Office 365 file such as Excel, PowerPoint, and Word on any iOS or Android device. A research study by IBM revealed that 82% of employees think that smartphones play a major role in business productivity.

On the flip side, security concerns pertaining to the BYOD concept hinder wider adoption among enterprises. These security risks include unauthorized third party access to sensitive information, device theft, and employees holding confidential data on their devices post-separation from the organization.
