MARKET ANALYSIS Worldwide Software 2008–2012 Forecast Summary Richard V. Heiman IDC OPINION The worldwide software market underwent very strong revenue growth from $231.1 billion in 2006 to $262.7 billion in 2007, an annual increase of 13.7%. However, from 2007 to 2012, the projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is a more modest 7.7%. IDC believes that: The 2007 growth was in part due to the weakness of the U.S. dollar against other major currencies. The software industry is maturing and consolidating. This phenomenon continued in 2007 and will do so in the future. Emerging market drivers such as Eureka 2.0, software appliances, service- oriented architecture (SOA), and virtualization will provide growth opportunities even in the face of macroeconomic uncertainties and volatility. Successful software vendors will be those that can best adapt their technologies and business models to the continually changing dynamics of the marketplace.
