Market snapshot

These figures describe Vertical SaaS (9.5.11), the segment that Geographic Information Systems (Utility GIS) sits within. They are not figures for Geographic Information Systems (Utility GIS) on its own.

FragmentationFragmentedEstimate

Not sized separately. One classification covers every software publisher, so it cannot be split between vertical and horizontal products. Vertical software is the more defensible half commercially, because a system built around one industry's workflow faces fewer competitors and far lower churn than a horizontal tool sold to everyone.
