Software as a Service: market data & analysis

Software as a Service (SaaS) refers to the type of public cloud service that delivers software applications over the internet on a subscription basis. Users can access and use the software through web browsers without having to install or maintain it locally. SaaS eliminates the need for purchasing, installing, and updating software, thus offering convenience and automatic updates while allowing users to focus on using the software to meet their requirements. The SaaS market includes the companies that provide these types of cloud-based software resources and services to individuals, businesses, and organizations. A typical example of this type of service is Microsoft Office 365, a SaaS suite of applications (e.g., Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) available for purchase by subscription and accessible via a web browser. The worldwide revenue of US$288.0 billion in 2023 is expected to increase to US$818.8 billion by 2029.
