There’s no single definitive count, but here’s what the data tells us:
Estimated total: 500–1,000+ distinct ERP products globally, with the number varying depending on how broadly “ERP” is defined.
Here’s the breakdown of what’s known:
Vendor landscape:
- Research firm Apps Run The World tracks 1,500+ enterprise application vendors, with ERP being the largest software subcategory.
- HG Insights data shows 3.8 million companies are actively investing in ERP solutions globally.
Market concentration:
- The top 10 vendors account for only 26.5% of the total market, meaning the remaining 73.5% is split among hundreds of smaller vendors. This suggests a very fragmented market with many players.
Why it’s hard to pin down an exact number:
- Definitions vary — some count standalone accounting software, industry-specific tools, and MRP systems as “ERP”
- Hundreds of regional/local ERP products exist in countries like India, China, Brazil, and Europe that rarely appear in global rankings
- New SaaS and niche vertical ERP products launch constantly
- Many legacy on-premise products still in use are no longer actively marketed
Rough breakdown by tier:
| Tier | Estimated Count |
|---|---|
| Tier 1 (Global Enterprise) | ~10–15 |
| Tier 2 (Mid-market) | ~50–100 |
| Tier 3 (SMB/Niche/Regional) | ~500–900+ |
| Open Source | ~20–30 |
So the listed covers the most well-known ones, but the true total — especially including regional, niche, and legacy products — is likely closer to 500–1,000+ worldwide.
