During the early years of commercial use of computers, software systems were developed from scratch using different development platforms. These systems were developed uniquely for each organization and had no standardization. Standardization of software products also benefitted software buyers by lowering transaction costs and risks associated with it.

Packaged software industry has continually expanded and forms a major part of the IT services industry. Businesses use office production software like FileMaker Pro whereas many organizations today use a package suite that contains everything employees need to run an efficient business. Computer security has become a major issue since the invention of internet. It is important to install security packaged software to protect personal computers from internet threats like malware and virus attacks.

Increasing IT expenditure in the retail industry is a key factor driving the packaged software market. Retailers across the globe prefer retail mobility solutions, which in turn is triggering the demand for packaged software solutions.

Organizations allow employees to carry their own mobile devices to the workplace and connect the device to the company's network. This helps employees to remain productive on-the-move, even when they are not at their workplace. Thus, growth in BYOD is stimulating the need for IT security, which in turn is driving the growth of the packaged software market. Loosely coupled integration and cloud deployments make it easier to deploy and incorporate software components. Increase in the client-server enterprise applications segment, human resources, distribution and manufacturing, spanning accounting, contributed significantly to the overall software market growth.

Software piracy is the biggest factor inhibiting the growth of the packaged software market. Digital software piracy has increased the threat of malware attacks and data hacking. However, manufacturers are trying to increase the IT infrastructure security to avoid such cyber-attacks.
