AI tools have drastically altered the product design landscape, assisting throughout the product lifecycle from requirements to implementation. With predictions indicating that 70% of new applications will utilize low-code or no-code platforms by 2025, the separation of roles within teams is diminishing. Today, designers, product managers, and engineers are increasingly performing overlapping functions. Items such as UX generation tools are emerging, highlighting the growing need for cross-functional fluency and a holistic understanding of product development. This shift is crucial for successful product building by 2025.
According to Gartner, 70% of new applications will be developed using low-code or no-code platforms by 2025, up from less than 25% in 2020. Meanwhile, the global UI/UX design tools market is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 20%, reaching $18.6 billion by 2028.
Tools are becoming multi-purpose. Designers are wiring up logic. PMs are tweaking layouts. Engineers are working with auto-generated UIs. And AI is starting to do all three.
The boundaries between PM, design, and engineering are shifting - and fast. In place of clearly defined roles, we're seeing a growing need for cross-functional fluency and full stack awareness.
That’s no longer a nice-to-have. It's becoming foundational to building products in 2025.
