Explore the 2016 data
In order to provide a broad and deep view of the industry, in 2014 we published our Global 100 Software Leaders analysis, which took a look at the global software industry from a variety of viewpoints.
Below you will find not only the top 100 companies, but also SaaS revenue of the top 50 software companies, fastest-growing cloud companies and the leading emerging-market software companies in 2014.
Global 100 Software Leaders by revenue (2016)
Analysing the changes between the current Global 100 Software Leaders and the previous ranking, published in 2014, indicates just how dynamic the market is. Both lists were compiled for PwC by International Data Corp. (IDC).
Fourteen companies fell off the current list, which means 14 are new. A churn of 28 seems like quite a bit in just two years. Four of the 14 companies that fell off the list were acquired, and one (Compuware) split into two companies.
Actually, it’s fairly easy to fall off the list. Of the bottom 12 in the previous list, 10 are gone.

SaaS revenues of Top 50 software companies
The current Global 100 Software Leaders also ranks software-as-a-service (SaaS) and platform-as-a-service (PaaS) revenue for the top 50 companies, and the percentage each segment comprises of overall software revenue. Among the top 20 companies, the list of SaaS standouts includes:
- Intuit (#10) with 23% of revenues from SaaS;
- Adobe (#11) with 23% of revenues;
- Cisco Systems (#14) with 35%;
- Citrix (#19) with 27%.
These are indications of companies that understand the changes underway.
