For 2023, I estimate the market size of the Sales Enablement & Sales Engagement segment of the MarTech market to have USD $10bn in annual revenue.

However, I count not just the typical players but also some of the revenue of the alternatives / workarounds.

The whole point of my market overview (here as an Airtable to export) [includes not just competitors but also alternatives] is actually to show the number of acquisitions.
