How to read this. These are counts of what this catalogue contains, not estimates of the whole market. Where a proportion is given, the denominator is stated. Nothing here is extrapolated, weighted or modelled.

The catalogue's known gaps are set out in the methodology, and they bound what these figures can mean.

Vendors do not stay in one category

The mean product carries 2.62 categories. That is the single most useful fact about this market for a buyer: the shortlist for a narrow requirement will contain broad platforms, because those platforms genuinely do the narrow thing as well.

What these figures cannot tell you. This is a count of records, not of installations, revenue or market share. A category with sixty products is not necessarily a larger market than one with twenty — it may simply be one where more vendors publish clearly. Product counts measure the supply side's visibility, nothing more.
