About the report
The Equipment as a Service Market Report 2024–2028 is part of IoT Analytics’ ongoing coverage of Industrial IoT. The information presented in this report is based on the results of multiple surveys, secondary research, and qualitative research, i.e., interviews with Equipment as a Service (EaaS) vendors and end users from between August 2023 and February 2024. The document includes a definition of EaaS, market projections, analysis of vendors, adoption drivers, case study analysis, key trends and challenges, and insights from relevant surveys.
The main purpose of this document is to help our readers understand the current EaaS landscape by defining, sizing, and analyzing the market.
What is Equipment as a Service?
Equipment as a Service (EaaS) is a way of paying for and consuming the utility of equipment. Sometimes referred to as “pay-per-use” or “product service systems,” EaaS business models let manufacturers (the equipment end users) convert CapEx into an OpEx and transfer responsibility for maintaining the asset from the end user to the equipment supplier.*
There are several benefits associated with consuming physical assets “as a service,” including:
- Reduced CapEx: Migration from CapEx to OpEx was the #1 reason surveyed equipment suppliers stated that their customers were interested in moving to EaaS.
- Lower total cost of ownership (TCO): By only paying for defined outcomes (such as running hours or equipment output), customers can realize a lower TCO of equipment.
- Increased flexibility: EaaS end users have the flexibility to scale their operations up or down as their needs change.
The Equipment as a Service (EaaS) market has been experiencing growth and is poised to continue growing in the coming years. This market encompasses a wide range of segments, with commercial vehicles, aircraft, and related parts leading the way. Closely followed by computers, peripheral equipment, and on-premises data centers, machinery, electric power generation, transmission, and distribution, and electrical lighting equipment.
Geographically, the Americas hold the largest share of the EaaS market, with EMEA and APAC regions also contributing substantial portions. The EaaS market’s robust growth can be attributed to the increasing adoption of this business model across various industries, offering them the flexibility to use high-quality equipment without the upfront costs of ownership.
As we move forward, the EaaS market is expected to maintain its upward trajectory, driven by technological advancements, evolving business needs, and the increasing recognition of the benefits of this service model.
