According to Gartner, "IT leaders are facing mounting challenges around 
application delivery. Developer shortages and skill-set challenges are 
impacting their ability to deliver increasing levels of business automation in 
a rapid and reliable fashion. In response, the vendors of low-code application 
platforms (LCAPs) have been improving the ease at which business applications 
can be delivered, providing broader capabilities requiring smaller and less 
specialized teams of developers."

In addition, Gartner states, "By 2023, over 50% of medium to large enterprises 
will have adopted an LCAP as one of their strategic application platforms."
