This analysis dissects drivers, barriers, and forecasts, offering a roadmap for stakeholders. SaaS thrives on recurring revenue, high margins (often 70-80%), and network effects that amplify value with scale.
Drivers include cloud migration: 90% of new apps are SaaS-born. SMB digitization, especially post-COVID, swells the base. Macro tailwinds like 5G enable mobile-first SaaS.

SWOT highlights strengths in scalability; weaknesses in outages (e.g., AWS downtimes). Opportunities lie in emerging markets—India's SaaS startups boom. Threats: cybersecurity breaches erode trust.
Porter's Five Forces: High buyer power due to switches, but supplier power low from commoditized infra. Rivalry intense; barriers via data moats.
Financially, ARR growth averages 30%, churn under 5% for leaders. Valuation multiples hit 10-15x revenue.
Regional analysis: APAC grows fastest at 22% CAGR, driven by fintech. Forecasts predict $1 trillion by 2030.
