Book Description


This IDC study provides a top-down sizing of the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) or APEJ client operating environment (COE) and server operating environment (SOE) software markets in 2004 and a 2005-2009 forecast for this market. Historical and forecast revenue and shipment data are shown for the total APEJ market by platform and by country.

"The global economic recovery and continued buildout of the IT infrastructures across APEJ underpinned the growth in the APEJ OSs and subsystems market," says Vivian Tero, senior analyst, Infrastructure Software, IDC Asia/Pacific. "Revenue for the SOE software market totaled US$765 million in 2004, and is forecast to reach US$1.03 billion in 2009, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10%. The COE software marketed totaled US$533.3 million in 2004, and will grow to US$954.9 million by 2009, a CAGR of 11.7%. End users across APEJ continue to gravitate to the x86 platforms so the revenue and license shipment growth will primarily be in the Windows and Linux systems." She also adds, "Windows is predicted to dominate both the COE and SOE software markets, but Linux is taking away opportunities and is slowly eroding the Windows dominance. Windows is responding to the Linux onslaught by offering more flexible software pricing and licensing policies and by introducing its Starter Edition. As a result of these developments, revenue growth in the OSs and subsystems market will stay below the new license shipment growth rates."
