In a post-pandemic business environment, businesses are increasingly turning to Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) and Workspace-as-a-Service (WaaS) services to enable remote work for employees that need it. By enabling employees to access their critical business applications from anywhere, using any Internet-connected device, these services help ensure business continuity and productivity. They also allow the IT department to retain critical control over access and security, ensuring that corporate applications and data are used appropriately. This growth opportunity report gives a brief history of the DaaS Market from its inception to present day, including types of cloud-based desktop services and the differences between them. It discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the market, as well as the potential future influence of the pandemic on market growth. Finally, the report discusses market sizing, including the total market opportunity through 2026, market trends from 2019 forward, drivers and restraints to DaaS adoption, and opportunities for vendor and market growth.
