The global Enterprise Software market has surpassed USD 1 Tn in annual spend and is continuing to grow at double-digit rates, solidifying its position as a key driver of business transformation worldwide. While the market is expanding rapidly, a critical cohort of companies is struggling to keep pace with the sector’s overall momentum. Beyond the first 500 Mn in revenue, growth is becoming increasingly difficult to sustain and scale for this cohort.
In the USD 100–500 Mn revenue band, 42% of firms have remained at this stage for more than two decades. These are credible businesses with strong products, loyal customers, and sizable addressable markets. Yet many are unable to convert early success into enduring scale.
Zinnov’s latest report, Breaking the Growth Barrier: Enterprise Software’s Scaling Blueprint, examines what differentiates firms that move beyond this plateau from those that remain caught in it.

The gap between companies that adapt and those that plateau is widening rapidly. To succeed, firms can no longer rely on early-stage momentum. They must design scale through structure, discipline, and deliberate execution.
This report distills years of research and global benchmarks into a practical guide for leaders ready to cross the growth chasm and build market-leading enterprises.
