The state of SaaS integration
summary
SaaS growth hits specific scale: marketing tech grows 30.6% to ~8,000 apps and the market counts ~175,000 SaaS products, with Slack and Zapier each at 2000 integrations and Shopify above 5,000. Only about 31% list an API and ~25% offer SDKs, while fewer than 5% publish machine-readable specs. Unified APIs, Postman and OpenAPI tooling accelerate integration work, integrations lift retention and can boost CLTV up to 300%, and embedded automation, finance, serverless and privacy-first observability lead the 2021 playbook.
