According to a recent industry survey conducted by Infragistics between December 2022 and January 2023, more than 2,000 developer shortage and IT professionals participated and 37% of the respondents indicated that they anticipate ongoing challenges in recruiting developers with the required skills up to 2023.
In addition, the survey revealed that 37% of developers and IT professionals share a concern for their organization’s ability to maintain employee safety, including developer shortage. The survey also found that 36% of respondents feel that they are working with constrained resources.
“Over the past three years, workers have been faced with a series of unexpected challenges—the COVID-19 pandemic, an economic downturn, and a volatile work environment–which is pushing employers to do more to assure workers are protected. Employers that take steps to protect their employees will be more likely to retain them, especially in light of the developer shortage,” the report said.
According to the survey respondents, the three technical jobs that were reported as the most challenging to recruit for are DevOps engineers (16%), data analytics developers (16%), and IT security engineers (13%).
According to the report, although almost all developers (89%) collaborate with a designer or design team, less than half of their time (43%) is spent on coding the application. To compensate for vacant roles and meet the required pace of development, many organizations are employing low-code/no-code tools. The report indicated that the use of such tools is addressing the shortage of skilled developers in more than three-quarters (77%) of organizations.
According to the survey, software developers are planning to enhance project management (30%), boost collaboration between designers and developers (30%), adopt software that supports citizen developers (27%), incorporate remote staff (25%), and integrate a data catalog/analytics catalog (25%) in their future plans.
“The biggest software development challenges in 2023 will be the inability to keep pace with innovation in developer tools (28%), difficulty with third-party integration (267%), struggle to manage workload (26%), security threats (26%), project management (26%) and client expectations that are too high (26%),” the report said.

Lastly, the survey noted a rise in the usage of business intelligence and embedded analytics. The report indicates that over 80% of developers have currently integrated these tools into their products, which marks a 3% increase from the previous year’s survey.
The report highlighted an upward trend in the usage of embedded analytics in apps. As per the survey, nearly half of the developers (48%) had integrated analytics into client apps in 2022, which is an increase from 31% in 2021. Additionally, the report mentioned that 75% of software developers anticipated an increased emphasis on business intelligence in their organizations in 2023.
According to the survey, the three primary reasons why software developers integrate embedded analytics are to enhance customer satisfaction (32%), gain a competitive edge (30%), and enable data-driven decision-making (25%).
As per the report, customers expressed their desire to include embedded analytics in their requirements with the expectation that it would boost productivity (42%), generate higher sales/revenue (39%), provide insights into business problems (33%), and facilitate better business decision-making (32%), despite the developer shortage.
