More Enterprise Developers in North America and Western Europe

When it comes to enterprise development, North America and Western Europe reign supreme. The United States alone boasts over 31% of the global enterprise developer workforce, followed closely by Western Europe with over 28.6%. However, Israel, despite its smaller size, punches above its weight with a significant concentration of enterprise developers, accounting for around 9.5% of the global total.
If we break down the enterprise populations by region, we find that 22% of software developers in South Asia are very large enterprise developers.

Development Areas of Choice

SaaS (web) development is a particularly popular area for enterprise developers. Over 68% of enterprise developers are involved in SaaS web development. Besides web apps, enterprise developers are dominated by their involvement in the backend sector: 64% of enterprise developers work in this sector. Enterprise businesses typically have more sophisticated needs that warrant engaging backend developers. With the myriad of resources at their disposal, enterprises are more easily able to develop large scale, connected products with complicated backends — IoT devices, for example. Backend developers are required to achieve these goals.
