The top three emerging trends driving the global audio and video editing software market according to Technavio ICT research analysts are:

Increased use of online cloud editing software

A major trend in the market is the growth of online cloud editing software. Companies such as WeVideo, Animoto, Shotclip, Loopster, and Forbidden Technologies provide editing software online. Companies have different payment policies for the software. A few companies might charge for the software based on the requirement of cloud storage. Others might charge based on the validity of the software.

High adoption of editing software by non-professional end-users

“Vendors in the global audio and video editing software market focus on making the software more user-friendly. They have reduced the price and provided trial versions with full application features for end-users. The editing software requires highly efficient processors that ensure an efficient and smooth workflow. This acts as a hindrance for the adoption of the software among non-professional users with limited graphics support,” adds Ishmeet.

The continuous improvements in the processing power of computers help in mitigating the impact of this challenge. The increase in processing speed has led to a decline in the average rendering time of editing software over the past 10 years. This will further decrease during the forecast time. This factor will accelerate the adoption rate of editing software by non-professional end-users.

Rise in the use of editing software for mobile devices

Vendors have started providing video and audio editing software for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. The increasing processing power of mobile devices is one of the most important reasons for this initiative. For instance, Samsung's Galaxy S7 smartphone has a Snapdragon 820 chipset by Qualcomm with 4GB of RAM.

The key vendors are as follows:

• Adobe Systems
• Apple
• Avid
