Software as a Service (SaaS) is a distribution model for delivering software applications via a web browser. Customers can access offerings over the internet that are hosted by a third-party service provider. SaaS is a component of cloud computing that offers users the advantage of flexible use regardless of location and does not require local installation.
Like other cloud services, companies typically pay a monthly or annual fee for SaaS applications. SaaS providers usually charge for applications based on certain usage parameters, such as the number of people using the applications or the number of transactions.

Company examples: Salesforce, Microsoft, SAP, Oracle.

Analyst Opinion

Software as a Service (SaaS) is the largest segment of the Public Cloud market, comprising more than half of the total market size. Growth in this segment will continue to slightly slow down in the coming years. SaaS products comprise any available on-premises software and thus offer software solutions that can be used in various industries. For this reason, the market concentration in the SaaS segment is quite low, as many very different products are offered by several companies. Software as a Service is becoming increasingly attractive to companies looking for accessibility and diversity of software solutions. Therefore, the global COVID-19 pandemic will accelerate the adoption of Software as a Service worldwide.
