The UK technology sector is growing more than two-and-a-half times faster than the overall economy, and London has been ranked as the second most connected place for tech in the world behind Silicon Valley in the US. 

According to Statista, the UK IT Services market is worth nearly $113.46 billion to the economy, a rise from $3.44 billion in 2020. Between 2024 and 2025, the tech market in the UK continued to grow with increased market productivity, influencing the UK’s GDP.

Why Should You Work With a UK-based Company?

Probably the second-largest IT hub in the world, the UK is one of the fastest-growing IT leaders. It is the home of over 225,000 IT & web companies based according to a report delivered by Computer Weekly. Web companies from the UK provide the entire range of services and are known for good management, rich business culture, and great tech performance.

What You Should Be Aware of When Working With UK Web Companies

A report by Tech Nation in 2018 revealed that the main challenges companies and IT hubs face are related to access to talent, affecting 83% of tech hubs. Access to funding and poor transport links were also found to be major challenges for some of the UK’s tech hubs. This challenge is still relevant for 2025, especially the lack of funding possibilities.

Are UK IT Companies Reliable?

The UK companies enjoy a high trust level on a global level and are considered reliable overall. However, due to the wide variety of web & software companies, not all UK-based companies represent the business culture, performance, and tech skills that the UK is so well known for. This is why choosing the IT company as a partner is important. 

How the UK IT Industry Relates to the Neighboring Countries

Having a leading IT infrastructure, the IT industry in the UK increased its potential, and following the global trends, just like the US, it will focus more on certifying and developing already existing professionals rather than hiring new skills.  

In the background of a fast-developing EU market, the UK looks weaker alone than in the community. Brexit has forced tech giants and many IT companies to leave for other EU countries, especially Ireland and Germany, a report from Tech Spot reveals. 

Overall, the UK IT industry will continue to be a good option for businesses that tend to expand their presence on the local market, and also for local startups that would preferably rely on companies from the UK. 

Mobile app development is the process of creating mobile apps for popular mobile operating systems like Android and iOS. 

There are about 7 billion smartphones worldwide, meaning that more than 85% of the world’s population has a mobile device at their disposal to perform various tasks online or offline.

Having a mobile app, businesses can reach a wider audience and have more control over their marketing activities. The benefits are obvious:

• Increases your brand awareness
• Creates a new marketing channel
• Creates a new feedback channel
• Improves your customer service
• Builds customer loyalty
• Improves your sales flow

• Location

Do Businesses Need Mobile Apps? The Answer is Obvious

Users are currently browsing and using different platforms and channels (AI chatbots, search engines, social media, email, etc.) to make a decision and ultimately purchase a product/service. Mobile devices became a significant part of their lives, so businesses need to adapt and deliver solutions for different kinds of devices and operating systems.

At minimum, businesses would need to offer a mobile app listed on Play Market (for Android) or App Store (for iOS), or offer a mobile first user experience on their websites.

The reality is that more than half of the companies don’t have a mobile app yet, or are just planning to develop one.

According to the latest survey on mobile apps conducted by TechBehmoths, 62% of businesses don’t have a mobile app and don’t plan to develop one, while around 19% of businesses don’t have one, but are planning to create one in the future, and 30% of businesses have a mobile app.

Of those firms that have one, the most popular mobile application types are the following:

• Cross-platforms mobile apps - when mobile apps are coded once and compatible with multiple mobile operating systems like Android and iOS

• Native apps - when mobile apps are specifically created for iOS, Android or any other mobile operating system

• PWA (progressive web apps) - these are web applications that provide a mobile app like experience on web browsers (desktop or mobile)

Companies can benefit from mobile apps in multiple ways. Here are the main advantages:

• Customer acquisition - there are billions of smartphone users worldwide, so it’s essential to reach your customers on the devices they use

• Revenue growth - mobile apps provide an extra channel to grow your revenue. With the rise of mobile banking, payments and transactions are not happening solely on desktops devices anymore. Digital commerce spend is expected to reach around $34 Trillion by 2029 (source)

• Brand visibility - mobile apps offer a consistent channel for brand awareness and marketing

• Internal operations - some companies choose the convenience of mobile apps to run internal operations like education, onboarding, HR, logs/checks, etc.

• Customer service - serving customers via mobile apps might be the fastest and most efficient way to keep them happy

• Customer retention - mobile app push notifications is possibly the fastest way to keep clients engaged and offer promotions

• Availability - mobile apps are there for users 24/7

Having a website might not be enough to acquire new customers and serve existing ones. Today's reality is that pretty much everyone is online and using a smartphone device for both entertainment and work.

Mobile apps will inevitably become a priority for most businesses in the next couple of years.

Companies have the option to build mobile apps in house or hire mobile app development providers. For less complex projects, low-code or no-code app tools might be worth considering.

If you have a mobile app project and don’t know where to start, or have an established business and need to expand by launching a mobile app, TechBehmoths offers an easy and straightforward Project Submission tool.
