With the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, organizations were forced to rethink workplace dynamics in favor of policies that favored and prioritized safety. Among these shifts were a move to remote work and digitized communications.
This quarter, Sonary, industry leader in B2B software reviews and analysis, highlights its compiled report on the state of video conferencing in the post-pandemic world, and how video conferencing tools are rapidly transforming the way companies do business.
A Market Projected to Grow to $22.5 Billion By 2026
Video conferencing is a thriving market with growth catalyzed by the shift to remote work among those in America and around the world. By 2025, Upwork research reports that it projects the percentage of Americans working from home to reach an astonishing 36.2 million.
As a result, the demand for robust, cost-effective video conferencing software has seen a marked increase with no signs of slowing down.
Other data, such as that from Mercer, reveals that nearly 70% of companies have plans to adopt a ‘hybrid’ model of ‘in-office’ vs ‘remote’ work. With more than 58% of respondents in a FlexJobs survey reporting that they would only consider a new job if they could continue to work remotely, this move appears to be a smart one, catering to the evolving needs and demands of the workforce.
This transition also mandates that agile organizations take a closer look at the tools and resources they have to support such a transition, and to help remote workers thrive while remaining productive off-site.

The Transformative Impact of Video Conferencing
Cost Savings
Video conferencing can dramatically reduce corporate and employee costs associated with travel, accommodations, and energy costs.
Enhanced Communication
Video conferencing allows for enhanced interdepartmental and cross-departmental communication, especially between locations where employees would not normally interact. Similarly, video conferencing provides more frequent opportunities to engage with colleagues and management in more meaningful ways.
Efficiency and Productivity
Eliminating time spent traveling between offices, gathering physically in conference rooms, and disruptions to workspaces all aid in increasing both productivity as well as efficiency across virtually all industries.
Improved Workplace Satisfaction
The post-pandemic workforce has been hesitant to return to the office, realizing the additional benefits and quality of life improvements gained from working remotely. Savvy employers have moved to accommodate the evolving needs of the workforce, offering remote and hybrid options to attract and keep talent.
