In terms of offering, the hardware segment dominated the market in 2020 with a share of nearly 40 per cent
The global device-as-a-service market size is anticipated to reach USD 475.98 billion by 2028, expanding at a CAGR of 37.8 per cent from 2021 to 2028, according to a new study conducted by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth can be attributed to the increasing adoption of the subscription-based services model, which allows organizations to invest in strategic planning instead of purchasing hardware devices that require upgrades every few years.
“An increase in the number of start-ups and the rising awareness about the device-as-a-service (DaaS) model among small and medium-size enterprises are expected to drive market growth. The market is expected to witness growth opportunities across industry verticals such as life science and healthcare, banking and financial institution, and education,” read the report.
