ICT Channel in Europe

Europe is the largest economic area in the world. It includes the countries belonging to the EU, the associated countries and other countries.

Historically, indirect distribution began in Europe, while in North America sales were more direct. Because of the heritage of European construction, based on different languages, culture ​​and countries, the economy in Europe is much more fragmented. This tends to overweight the indirect ICT channel compared to North America, especially when you address southern countries such as Spain, Italy, Portugal, the Balkan countries, Greece. .

The economic division of Europe varies considerably from vendor's vision .

Usually we consider Western Europe which includes the zones (DACH / FR / UK / IT / SP-P / BENELUX / NORDICS), Eastern Europe (Russia, Belarus, Ukraine), Central Europe ( CZ, PL, HO, RO ...) other Europe (GR, Malta ...).


How many ICT Partners in Europe?

We estimate the total number of IT partners (companies with more than one employee and generating either over €350K in revenue or more than 50% of their turnover from IT solutions and services) to be between 400,000 and 450,000 entities.

Note that between 60% and 70% of companies listed in official registries have no employees (solo traders).
We estimate that around 110,000 companies in Europe account for approximately 85% of the total European ICT market.

Due to variations in legal frameworks and languages, the ISV ecosystem is quite dense, particularly in niche markets.
For the same reasons, distributors (wholesalers) remain numerous, although recent consolidation has reduced their overall fragmentation.

The EMEA headquarters of major vendors are generally located in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Germany, and sometimes, for tax reasons, in Ireland or Switzerland.
