FAQ: Just How Big Is The Channel?We're regularly asked how many companies make up the technology channel, as well as how much revenue flows through it. Our new State of the Market report provides the best data ever on those questions. The North American technology channel, as we see it, consists of approximately 240,000 solution provider organizations, with total revenue of over $370 billion dollars. While the lion's share of that went though the VARBusiness 500 ($344 billion), all solution provider sizes expect sales growth in the coming year. As we note in the slide show, if the channel were a country, it would have about the 20th largest GDP in the world, approximately that of Sweden or Switzerland.
