In the product engineering space, software remains the largest expense, although its growth has slowed recently. This deceleration is largely due to economic headwinds, such as decreased consumer confidence and tighter budgets, which have made enterprises and providers more cautious about investing in new technologies. Additionally, geopolitical conflicts, talent shortages, and delayed decision-making within enterprises have further contributed to this trend.

Despite these challenges, the software R&D landscape continues to evolve, driven by several key trends. The increasing adoption of AI and generative AI is transforming product development, while a growing emphasis on sustainability is shaping both product design and delivery. Additionally, providers are focusing on enhancing the customer and developer experience to drive adoption and loyalty. To navigate this evolving landscape, businesses are also exploring platform-based business models to create scalable and flexible solutions.
