From the rise of headless CMS architectures to the growing importance of AI-driven personalization, the industry is transforming the way content is created, managed, and delivered to the target audience. Coming in 2024, the architecture continues to evolve, setting up trends and growth opportunities on a large scale.
And if you are wondering why we are emphasizing on what to expect with CMS development, take a look at the reason. Back in 2020, the global CMS market was valued at around USD $62.4 billion. However, this is projected to grow around USD $116.2 billion by 2025 at a CAGR of 13.3%3. It is also expected to generate around $123.5 billion by 2026 at a CAGR of nearly 17%. And precisely, more than 33% of the growth is expected to come from the North American market.
With that said, we have identified CMS development trends that will rule in 2024, becoming the key for businesses to leverage and build their brand image.
1. Artificial Intelligence (AI) Enhancements
AI has been making headlines for months now. Touted to reduce human interventions and easing technology implementation, this is clearly one of the most significant trends in CMS development for 2024. Content management platforms are increasingly using AI integration to enhance the capabilities and functionalities.
AI-powered CMS platforms are becoming more adept at tasks such as content personalization, content recommendation, and even automated content creation. This not only streamlines content management processes but also enhances the overall UX by delivering tailored content to individual visitors.
2. Headless CMS
Another trend that is set to redefine CMS in 2024 is the adoption of headless CMS. Now, what is a headless CMS, you ask?
A headless CMS is a back-end only content management system built as a content repository that makes content accessible via a RESTful API for display on any device. The term ‘headless’ comes from the concept of removing the front end from(the back end.
3. Mobile-first Design
With the increase in the use of mobile devices to access the internet, CMS platforms are focusing more on mobile-specific design. This means that the CMS is designed with mobile devices as the primary target platform, while also ensuring compatibility with other devices. This trend is estimated to reach its peak in 2024.
4. Enhanced Security
As cyber threats continue to evolve, so does the need for enhanced security in CMS. Content management platforms are implementing advanced security measures to protect against threats, including data breaches, DDoS attacks, and malware. Plus, such security is expected to become more comprehensive against the rising AI and cloud data usage attacks.
5. Integration with Business Software
And lastly, in 2024, we’ll see an increase in the integrations being used in CMS platforms. These additions help integrate the CMS in the business’ core operations and enhance efficiency and communication. Many large scale businesses are even using collaborative workplaces and communication channels within their customized CMS to encourage higher bottomline.
