SaaS顧客集中度とは？

SaaS customer concentration is an indicator of how revenue is distributed across a SaaS company’s clientele. A high concentration indicates that a notable portion of the company’s revenue originates from a limited number of clients. Many businesses call it high when the top five customers provide more than 50% of the total revenue.

Although this may offer stability, there may be hazards involved. The revenue and general health of the business may suffer significantly if one or a few of these big clients leave.

SaaS顧客集中率を計算するには、次の式を使用します。

SaaS Customer Concentration Rate = (Revenue from a Customer or Group of Customers ÷ Total Revenue) x 100

たとえば、上位10社の顧客が100万ドルの収益を生み出し、総収益が1,000万ドルの場合、上位10社の顧客集中度は10%です。

You can spot patterns and take action to reduce the risks of having a small number of major clients by monitoring customer concentration. You might want to think about expanding your customer base by focusing on new client categories or introducing new goods and services if you discover that your 顧客 concentration is too high.

In the SaaS sector, customer concentration can have a big effect on a business’s expansion and financial health. Companies rely on major clients for substantial revenue. The potential loss of key clients could affect financial performance. Increased susceptibility to shifts in the market, shifting consumer demands, and rivalry may result from this concentration. Customers who make up a significant portion of revenues can be in a position to negotiate better prices.

There may be a correlation between a company’s reliance on a small number of major clients and its ability to diversify revenue sources and enter new markets. A high concentration in one customer may impact lender and investor perceptions, potentially influencing creditworthiness, valuation, and access to capital. Many businesses look at the top five customers’ share of total revenue: under 25% is low concentration and over 50% is high (CFI, 2025).

Diversification mitigates customer concentration by growing the client base beyond a small number of dominating clients. This improves company stability and lessens dependency on any one client.

SaaS企業は、さまざまな業界、地域、またはに焦点を当てることで、収益源を分散し、顧客の解約、景気後退、または業界固有の混乱の影響を軽減できます。 市場セグメント顧客基盤の拡大は、新しい市場ニッチの開拓を可能にし、これらのセグメント全体の消費者選好を明らかにし、より幅広い顧客層に向けた製品改良の情報を提供する可能性があります。

To prevent overstretching resources or weakening brand identity, it is imperative to make sure that diversification is in line with the company’s target market and core strengths.
