Market snapshot
These figures describe Vertical SaaS (9.5.12), the segment that Manufacturing & Industrial Technology sits within — not Manufacturing & Industrial Technology on its own.
Vertical SaaS spans industry-specific software within software publishing (NAICS 513210) and is not separately disclosed by the Census Bureau, so the segment is not separately sized here.
