Do you think Joomla will survive in the coming years beyond 2025?

[brandoartisan]

Joomla is focusing on modern web development trends, ensuring it remains competitive in an increasingly crowded market.

Too many users for it to disappear

Joomla will not reclaim its former mass-market dominance (e.g., competing with WordPress) but will continue as a niche CMS for specific use cases due to its structured content management, built-in features, and open-source nature. Its survival is tied to continued development, an active community, adaptation to modern trends, and robust security. This aligns with current observations of Joomla’s market position and trajectory, as evidenced by various sources from 2023–2025.Joomla, launched in 2005, has powered millions of websites, including high-profile ones like those of the United Nations and Harvard University. However, its market share has declined compared to WordPress, which dominates with over 40% of the web, while Joomla holds a smaller share, often cited as the fourth most-used CMS. Despite this, Joomla remains relevant for specific niches due to its flexibility, multilingual support, and robust framework, which cater to complex websites like government portals, e-commerce platforms, and educational sites. The claim’s assertion of a “reduced and specialized role” is supported by Joomla’s current usage patterns and its focus on structured content management, which differentiates it from simpler platforms like WordPress or no-code solutions like Wix.

Joomla is good for website builders and developers. Word press is good if someone wants to make website without professional support.

Joomla won't die, it's better than WP in my opinio but the so called social media marketers love WP.

Joomla is now become better with Joomla 4 and 5. Version 6 will be releasing this year with much cleaned up code.

Joomla's a bit more tricky to handle than WordPress, its eternal rival, but it's way more flexible. With Joomla, one extension can totally transform your site into an app. WordPress has tons of plugins, but they can't match Joomla's level of customization. Sure, WooCommerce's a beast, but other WordPress extensions can't keep up with Joomla. My take? For a simple, quick site, go WordPress. For a serious, customizable web project, Joomla's the way to go.

[COLOR=var(--YLNNHc)]Joomla will only die if a better alternative emerges.
Something that is possible.

In any case, I think there's still a pending evolution, which is to evolve the way we create websites more focused on mobile devices and tablets (not only a redesign)

If a CMS emerges that revolutionizes this, it could mean the end of Joomla and WordPress.[/COLOR]

Joomla was one of the most popular content management systems (CMS) a few years ago, but recently it has lost some relevance to competitors like WordPress, which has established itself as the most widely used CMS in the world.
However, I don't think Joomla will disappear immediately. The community that supports it is still active and continues to improve, although its growth isn't as strong as that of other CMSs. There are several factors that could influence its "survival."

You are correct, joomla will survive in the coming years

Even though I love joomla and used to be my preferred CMS, it was too slow to react to wordpress.
I still think it's a better CMS, but it's lacking in "ease of use" and its library of extensions is getting smaller and smaller

not an easy to use cms is its advantage not disadvantage for developers and website designer otherwise it will spread like wordpress which is so easy everybody can create website less dependency on web designer which is killing our business

 

[aleroman]

I sincerely believe that Joomla will be mantained and updated for years to come: there are so many users, so many websites, and so many companies involved in the business.
Based on data available on the web, Joomla has a market share of around 2.2% to 3.5% of all websites, approximately 2% of all websites using a content management system.
Of course, Wordpress is dominant, with a market share of about 62% of the websites, but the system needs alternatives, and to be honest Joomla is one of the best ones.

 

[frutek1]

Joomla was, is, and will remain the best CMS.

Personally, I am glad that WP is the more popular CMS, as Wordpress is the target of most attacks.

Joomla is constantly being developed. I have known it since version 1.4. Today, it is already version 6.

even for designers and developers, use of use is paramount. I find the actual CSM easy to use. But (just an example) if I need to use a masonry gallery there is no reason to re-invent the wheel, when for WP there are several ready to use plugins. Or multiple solutions for maintaining multiple websites. And most of them free or in lower prices. And at the end of the day, I can build a website one way or another. But how easy is for the client to use everyday? That's why wp is winning. Because it's easy to use. And the the websites are used daily by people with no time and no need (or will) to code. Not by designers and developers

Joomla will stay, because they develop it further and further. The problem is that there are not so much templates as for WP. I use only Joomla, couldn't befreind WP.
