The generation of End-user Computing revenue has undergone a profound transformation, shifting decisively from a capital-intensive, hardware-focused model to a flexible, software- and service-driven one. The industry's strong financial growth, which is projected to see the market size reach USD 108.81 billion by 2034, is supported by this evolution towards recurring and predictable revenue streams. This financial expansion, which is advancing at a 6.76% CAGR, is a direct result of the industry's successful adoption of the subscription-based models that define the modern cloud economy. The primary revenue streams are now dominated by per-user-per-month subscriptions, tiered service plans, and consumption-based pricing, creating a resilient and scalable financial foundation.

The most significant and dominant revenue model in the EUC market today is the subscription-based model, particularly for Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) and Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solutions. Instead of a large, one-time purchase of perpetual software licenses, customers pay a recurring fee, typically on a per-user, per-month basis. This model is highly attractive to businesses as it converts a large, unpredictable capital expenditure into a predictable and manageable operational expense. For the EUC vendors, this creates a stable and highly visible stream of annual recurring revenue (ARR), which is the key metric of financial health in the modern software industry and allows for sustained investment in innovation and platform improvement.

While subscriptions are dominant, the market still generates significant revenue from the underlying infrastructure, though the model has changed. For on-premise VDI deployments, there is still revenue from the sale of software licenses, though these are also often sold as subscriptions now. There is also a significant ecosystem effect, where an EUC deployment drives revenue for hardware vendors providing the servers and storage, and for hypervisor vendors. In the cloud model, the DaaS provider's revenue is a composite of the software subscription fee and the underlying cloud infrastructure consumption costs from providers like AWS or Azure. This creates a more complex but ultimately more flexible and usage-based pricing structure for the end customer.

Beyond the core desktop and application delivery services, professional and managed services represent another critical and high-margin revenue stream. Given the complexity of designing, deploying, and managing a large-scale EUC environment, many organizations rely on the expertise of the vendors or their partners. This generates significant one-time revenue from professional services for initial implementation, migration, and optimization. Furthermore, many organizations opt for managed EUC services, where they pay a recurring fee for a third-party provider to handle the ongoing management, monitoring, and support of their environment. This provides another layer of high-value, recurring revenue and allows customers to focus on their core business rather than on IT infrastructure management.
