Salesforce.com

Salesforce is a software company which focuses its business around cloud related software-as-a-service (Saas). The company has experienced rapid growth in recent years, with revenues increasing from around 1.3 billion dollars in 2010 to 21.25 billion in 2021. This rapid growth is spread across all of the company’s regional markets, but the Americas region remains the company’s largest, with sales of more than 14.7 billion dollars.

Software as a service (SaaS) market

One of the many reasons for Salesforce's success is the rapid growth of the SaaS market itself. Bringing in less than 15 billion dollars in 2010, SaaS market revenues have grown to an estimated 157 billion as of 2020. The SaaS model involves the licensing of software to businesses, allowing these companies to make use of a huge range of advanced business applications without the need to host the software themselves.
