SaaStr Europa 2022 is a go!! We’ll be in Barcelona this year, 7–8 June, so we can maintain the outdoors / open air setup from 2021 SaaStr Annual!
So in January of 2021, Gartner predicted enterprise SaaS spend would grow by a stunning 10.2% next year. Unprecedented levels of growth for business software in the enterprise.
They’ve now updated that and predict an even further, and stunning, acceleration in enterprise software spend in 2022 — now up to 11.5% growth:
Put differently, Gartner after surveying 2,000 CIOs is now projecting enterprises will spend $110 billion more on enterprise software in 2022 … than they predicted just in January. In January, they predicted $557B in spend for 2022. Now 10 months later, with more data, they’ve revised that upwards to $669B.
Whoa.
Now, this number includes a lot, including a lot of infrastructure software, which Gartner says will outpace application software. But still.
The Best of Times in SaaS and Cloud, indeed.
