  • The increasing smartphone and internet penetration in both developing and developed countries is surging the demand for user-friendly mobile-first photo editing solutions that enable users to perform photo edits directly from their phones. Reportedly, around 74.8% of Indian households owned a smartphone in 2022 whereas 88% of households owned smartphones with internet connectivity. This widespread internet penetration and smartphone ownership is fuelling the popularity of social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok, hence driving the development of photo editing software that offers social media templates, quick edits, and filters, among others.
  • Cloud-based photo editing tools are significantly gaining popularity as they enable users to seamlessly store, edit, and share photos while facilitating collaborative photo editing and streamlining the workforce. Such tools are also increasingly integrating AI to facilitate advanced features like facial recognition, automatic sky replacement, and object removal. This is positively influencing the photo editing software market dynamics.
  • Key players in the market are focusing on creating user-friendly interfaces with drag-and-drop features, intuitive interfaces, and helpful tutorials to simplify the editing process.

The photo editing software market expansion is being fuelled by the increasing demand for high-quality pictures, enhancement in camera technology, and the need for special effects such as colour, tints, and more. An increase in the number of cameras and smartphone users and high-definition screen accessibility are also aiding the market. Depth sensors in smartphone cameras can scan 3D objects, enabling AR to be increasingly adopted in the process of photo editing. AR enables the user to integrate their real-world environment with digital images, making an ordinary photograph an AR artwork. 

The increasing availability of affordable photo editing tools such as Pixlr, Canva, and GIMP, and their rising adoption among small and medium-sized enterprises are fuelling the market. Furthermore, the surging accessibility and user-friendliness of photo editing software is expected to bolster its usage among non-professional users, such as photography enthusiasts and content creators, among others.
