66 Profitable Industry Niches for B2B SaaS

Written by Ricky Nave in Business Ideas, Opportunities, and Risks

A good B2B SaaS product is one which the customer deeply embeds into their business so that the product is very sticky. SaaS products built for specific industries (“niches“) often have that property. They also benefit from cheaper marketing, higher pricing power, and less competition (compared with more general SaaS companies). Here are some of the common categories of SaaS products which can be specialized to particular industry niches:

  • CRMs
  • ERPs
  • Practice management software (basically an all-in-one software to run your business)
  • Project management software
  • Market / pricing data tools
  • Simulation / modeling software

In the rest of this article, I’m going to list 66 different industries which are profitable target markets for entrepreneurs buying or building B2B SaaS companies.
