Market snapshot

These figures describe Vertical SaaS (9.5.11), the segment that SCADA & Industrial Control Systems sits within. They are not figures for SCADA & Industrial Control Systems 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.
