Abstract

Brief Excerpt from Industry Overview Chapter:

Companies in this industry design and publish development tools, operating systems, and utilities software. Major companies include Apple, Google, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Red Hat, and Symantec (all based in the US), as well as Avast Software (Czech Republic) and Trend Micro (Japan).

Although the US dominates the global operating systems market, underserved markets outside of North America, Japan, and Western Europe hold the greatest potential for software sales growth.

Companies that make development tools, operating systems, and utilities software are a subset of the overall software industry, which is covered in a separate profile.
