The State of Hardware-as-a-Service 2022
Report by Silicon Valley Bank with support from Eclipse Ventures
Key takeaways
Silicon Valley Bank, with support from Eclipse Ventures, is proud to present the State of HaaS report.
As machines become more reliable and affordable, hardware companies have adapted to better serve their customers.

These frontier tech companies are building richer customer relationships by replacing one-time sales with subscription services.
