RESTRAINING FACTORS

Main Factor Limiting the Market Expansion is the Limited Processing Power of Mobile Devices

The constrained processing power of mobile devices is one of the factors restricting the phone video editing app market growth. Even though smartphones are becoming more powerful, they still fall short of desktop computers when it comes to processing large video files and running sophisticated editing programmes. Due to this, rendering times may take longer, the output may be of inferior quality, and the number of editing possibilities may be constrained. Another barrier is the requirement for stable, high-quality film, which can be difficult to capture with mobile equipment. This may restrict the kinds of video content that may be produced using phone editing apps and may influence some users to choose more expensive, more specialized hardware and software.

• According to the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), around 30% of smartphone users in 2023 reported difficulties using video editing apps due to insufficient device storage (less than 32 GB) or limited processing power for rendering high-quality videos.

• According to the European Data Protection Board (EDPB), more than 25% of mobile app users in the EU expressed concerns in 2023 regarding unauthorized data collection practices by video editing apps, which restrained their adoption.
