An open API is a publicly available interface and the demand for open API is on the rise as it is developed to be easily accessible by the wider population of web and mobile developers.

One of the main features fostering the market is that an open API can be used both by developers inside the organization that published the API as well as by developers outside the organization who wish to register for access to the interface.

Three main characteristics of open APIs that are boosting the overall open API market growth are – freely available to use by all developers, they are backed by open data, and are based on an open standard.

Digital market players utilize API technologies to meet their respective business objectives and subsequently create customer value, in turn, expand their open API market share.

The surging adoption of open API is also owed to the fact that it has been witnessed that using APIs in opening up systems, to the outside world, facilitates driving traffic to one’s assets. The open API also creates end-customer value in the ecosystem and shares the load and benefits among the parties involved when unlocking new markets, facilitating the open API adoption trends to thrive.

Generally, open APIs are made available on the Internet and are shared freely. The open API market share likely expands as a software development company might publish a series of APIs to encourage third-party developers in different vertical industries to be innovative and figure out new ways to use the company’s software product.

Open APIs are used by enterprises to leverage the ever-evolving freelancing developers, opening up numerous open API market opportunities as it is capable of creating innovative applications that can add value to their core businesses.

The demand for open API also contributed to its preference in the business sphere due to its capability to increase the production of new ideas without direct investments in development efforts. Often, enterprises tailor their APIs targeting specific developer audiences that they consider to be the most effective in creating valuable new applications, shaping the open API market key trends & opportunities.

Key Open API Market Dynamics

The demand for open API is likely to gain momentum, majorly contributed to features that help in enables third parties to build applications ‘on top’ of the platform, reduction in costs & speeding up time-to-market.

Open API facilitates the adoption of social sharing practices for marketing purposes and syndicates products and services across different platforms, thereby fostering the adoption of open API.

Today APIs are increasingly important as they determine how developers can create new apps that tap into big Web services – social networks such as Facebook or Pinterest, or utilities such as Google Maps or Dropbox.

These APIs provide advantages of time saving and offering user convenience in many cases and the same is expected to sway the open API market future trends. The global open API market size is likely to dwindle as it faces challenges such as management and security issues associated with publishing APIs.

The adoption of open APIs may take a dip as publishing open APIs makes it difficult for organizations to control the experience end users have with their information assets. An API can significantly degrade the functionality of an application if it is overloaded with features, negatively impacting the open API market outlook.
