Many lists exist that provide an overview of large software companies, often called "independent software vendors" ("ISVs"), in the world. The lists differ by methodology of composition and consequently show substantial differences in both the listed companies and the ranking of those companies.
Legend
Sales | Annual revenue of company in USD billion in previous fiscal year |
---|---|
FY | Company's current fiscal year |
Market cap | Market capitalization as of February 2017 in USD billion |

Forbes Global 2000
The Forbes Global 2000 is an annual ranking of the top 2000 public companies in the world by Forbes magazine, based on a mix of four metrics: sales, profit, assets and market value. The Forbes list for software companies includes only pure play (or nearly pure play) software companies and excludes manufacturers, consumer electronics companies, conglomerates, IT consulting firms, and computer services companies even if they have large software divisions.
The top 50 companies in terms of market capitalization in the 2019 Forbes list for the "Software & Programming" industry are listed in the following table:[1]
All values listed in the table are in billion US$.
