17.7% Percentage of advanced prototypers using code-based solutions—signaling growing convergence between prototyping and development
PROTOTYPING / TRENDS
Summary: The Prototyping Evolution
Three clear patterns are emerging:
1
The Two-Tool Workflow
Designers use Figma for UI design and basic prototyping while embracing specialized tools for advanced needs
2
The Code Convergence
Advanced prototyping increasingly overlaps with development as designers seek higher fidelity
3
The Satisfaction Inversion
Specialized tools deliver higher satisfaction despite smaller market share
