I’m always looking for new ways to show the entire market size and the percentage breakdown of all the market players.

I see the market at $10Bn in annual revenue in 2023, but only if counting some of the revenue of the really large players in software that bought out smaller Sales Enablement players or those big players who offer free/freemium tools that could be used for Sales Enablement.

Very interesting to study are the vendors that are publicly listed such as Fision Corp OTCMKTS: FSSN (see below) and Bigtincan Holdings Ltd (ASX: BTH). They have to publish their revenue numbers and organic versus inorganic (acquisition) growth.
