Open source market forecast - Linux - New Research Report on Companies and
Markets
,----[ Quote ]
| The market for Linux products and services will grow from $2.4 billion in
| 2007 to $7.7 billion in 2012. Growth will slow down from 36% in 2008 to 17%
| in 2012. The revenue figures are small compared to other operating system
| (OS) markets, but the impact of Linux on other OSs will be much more
| significant than these figures would lead you to believe.

Linux Market to Triple by 2012
,----[ Quote ]
| Analyst firm Research and Markets has just put out a project on Linux-based
| server and client hardware sales, and is projecting that the market will more
| than triple between 2007 and 2012.
|
| A market for a platform is not the same as an ecosystem for it, which is much
| larger in that it includes the cost of people and third-party software and
| services for the code that runs atop the platform. So the R&M Linux market
| numbers might seem a little small. In any event, the consultancy pegged the
| Linux product and services market for Linux running on servers and clients
| (but not embedded systems) at $2.4 billion in 2007.

,----[ Quote ]
| Analysts note that Linux vendors are traditionally present on the mobile
| device market. According to forecasts the OS might become the leader in
| the segment accounting for 40% of it by 2010. ?Currently the share of
| mobile devices with Linux OS is not big in Russia as compared to other
| countries, such as China, for instance. However, the producer's policy,
| Nokia in particular testifies to the fact the situation is changing
| for the better", Ms. Karaeva concluded.
