Hey Steve, Here are some back of the envelope calculations that might be helpful:
Revenues in Millions $800 No. of Organizations 300,000 No' of Users 1,000,000 Market Share 31% Theoretical Total Market of GIS users – all vendors 3,225,806 ESRI (2008) “Corporate Capabilties” http://www.esri.com/company/about/facts.html best, sean FortiusOne Inc, 2200 Wilson Blvd. suite 307 Arlington, VA 22201 cell - 202-321-3914 ----- Original Message ----- From: "SteveC" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, November 17, 2008 2:10:21 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [Geowanking] How many GIS professionals are there in the US? Subject says it all... I'm trying to pin down a number. I had amongst other thoughts figured that if you knew ESRIs customer base / sales figures then you could infer it as everyone uses ESRI right? But ESRI is privately held and I can't find a figure that way. Anybody care to venture a guess?
