Preamble
On a macro level, the hundreds of millions of commercial Microsoft Office users spend between $7 billion USD and $9 billion USD a month on software licenses. On an annual basis, this $100 billion spend is larger than the entire U.S. movie industry, and roughly equal to the spend on federal education. Put differently, it’s the scale of a national economy, bigger than countries like Slovakia or Ecuador. Overall, the usage of Microsoft Office licenses drives an estimated $1.2 trillion in annual economic output.
At roughly $1.2 trillion in annual economic output, the productivity enabled by Microsoft 365 is on the scale of a G7 economy, larger than the entire GDP of Mexico or Spain, roughly equal to South Korea’s economy, and greater than the combined GDPs of Switzerland and Sweden. It rivals the U.S. federal Medicare budget, and in the corporate world it is more than twice Amazon Web Services (AWS) revenue.
