Business Analytics and Enterprise Software Publishing

The Business Analytics and Enterprise Software Publishing industry has expanded on the back of positive demand conditions over most of the five years to 2021, caused by high private investment in computers and software.

Industry revenue has grown at an annualized rate of 13.5% to $115.2 billion over the five years to 2021, driven by the increasing technological complexity of businesses and an eagerness to adopt efficiency-enhancing software.

Computer and Packaged Software Wholesaling

Although demand for computers and software has grown strongly over the past five years, operators in the Computer and Packaged Software Wholesaling industry have struggled with price erosion and direct sales by software publishers.

While private investment in computers and software has increased, the price of computers and peripheral equipment has decreased substantially during the same period.

Industry operators have had to pass these lower costs downstream, which has suppressed profitability.

In 2020, however, the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic increased demand for computers from businesses.

As social-distancing policies spread across the country, businesses adapted by having employees work remotely.

As a result, computer sales increased, bolstering demand for industry products.

Consequently, over the five years to 2021, industry revenue is expected to increase at an annualized 2.6% to $301.6 billion, including 0.2% in 2021.
