Europe Mainframe Market Dynamics
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:
Drivers
- Increased Demand for Computers with High-Performance Capabilities
The demand for mainframe or high-performance capabilities has been growing rapidly in recent years due to several factors such as the outburst of data in the digital age has led to a necessity for more powerful computing systems that are able to process and analyze large and complex data sets. Mainframe systems are compatible to handle these massive data sets and enable researchers and businesses to extract valuable insights from them. The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) has also contributed to the increasing demand for mainframes. AI and ML algorithms require large amounts of computational power to train and optimize models, and mainframe systems provide the necessary resources to accelerate these processes. Mainframe systems are widely used for banking transactions such as ATM and point of sale (POS) systems. It is also used in the healthcare sector to record patient data, billing, and others. These applications require large amounts of computational power to simulate complex systems, such as climate models, fluid dynamics simulations, and molecular modeling. In addition to scientific and engineering applications, the mainframe is also being used more widely in business analytics. Companies are using mainframe systems to process large amounts of data and extract insights that can inform business decisions, such as optimizing supply chains, predicting customer behavior, and identifying market trends, and is expected to drive the market.
- The Emergence of the Application of Mainframe in New Technologies
Mainframes have been used in Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications, big data, machine learning, and blockchain application in recent years. Some of the applications of the mainframe in AI include Natural Language Processing (NLP), image and video processing, optimization, and decision support and among others. Mainframes can be utilized for optimization and decision support applications. For instance, it can be used to optimize supply chain operations, plan production schedules, and forecast demand. Mainframes can be used to process large amounts of image and video data, which is critical in applications such as object recognition and autonomous vehicles. Mainframes can also be used for processing video data from security cameras, traffic cameras, and other sources. Mainframes can be used to process large amounts of text data and enable natural language processing applications. NLP applications are used in Chabot’s, virtual assistants, and other applications that require an understanding of human language and is expected to drive the market.
Opportunity
- Increasing Adoption of Mainframe Modernization
Business practices across the world have been evolving over the years. The main aim of the business is to earn profits that will not sustain for a long period by following traditional ways. This has to be overcome in modern ways by formulating certain strategies such as digitalization, enhancing customer experience, innovation, monitoring processes, and many others. Among these strategies, digital customer experience has merged as most perfect for the evolution of business practices. However, these evolving strategies are supporting the complete replacement or operation of outdated mainframe applications but the outdated mainframe technology has to be outdated. Hence mainframe modernization refers to the process of upgrading and adapting legacy mainframe systems. Moreover, aging mainframes are associated with several disadvantages such as cost-affecting inefficiencies, legacy applications with hidden code, and overload systems impacting performance. This results in the adoption of modernized mainframe technology. The modernization involves migration to the cloud or a multi-cloud system and re-hosting on lower-cost platforms which allows for more speed and competitive advantage. Similarly, there are several other major advantages associated with mainframe modernization and is expected to create opportunities in the market.
Restraint/Challenge
- Involvement of Complexity in UI Development Tools
Mainframe systems have been the backbone of large businesses. Over the years, the mainframe systems have grown and increased in complexity, making them difficult to maintain over time. As a result, many companies are now considering mainframe application modernization as a means of increasing their efficiency and reducing their costs. However, the mainframe is associated with user interfaces, as the users have to find the user interfaces to use the mainframe or to provide access to the systems. This has been designed responsibly and it is given to the analyst assigned to the development of the online system. The design group should work with the end users to determine their requirements and level of expertise. After the design process has begun, the user group should remain involved in the overall development to ensure that the end result meets their needs. Although, the user interface designed for the mainframe has been found to be very complicated and even the developers have designed the system in a complex manner. Moreover, this challenge can be overcome through the constant adoption of highly advanced technologies formulated by different companies. However, companies across the market are involved in innovation and R&D to focus on developing better solutions. Hence, a rising focus on R&D will help to overcome the user interface and development tools challenges and is expected to challenge the market growth.
Post-COVID-19 Impact on Europe Mainframe Market
The mainframe industry noted a gradual decrease in demand due to the lockdown and COVID-19 governmental laws, as manufacturing facilities and services were closed. Even private and public development was called off. Moreover, the industry was also affected by the halt of the supply chain especially of raw materials used in the manufacturing process of Mainframe. Stringent government regulations for different industries and restrictions on trade & transportation were some of the top factors that cause a dent in the growth of the market for mainframes around the world in 2020 and the first two quarters of 2021. As mainframe production slowed down owing to the restrictions by governments across the globe, the production was not meeting the demand in the first three quarters of 2020. Moreover, high demand/requirement for mainframe products in the automotive and defense industry, in the medical sector, and hydraulics applications has been witnessed. The resumed production of the IT industry and other industries; further fuelled the rising demand for mainframes across the globe. Thus, this not only led to a hike in demand but also increased the cost of the product.
