Stars
Econocom leads in circular IT services, managing device lifecycle, refurbishment, and buyback; its circular offerings grew revenue by ~18% in 2024 to €460m, positioning it as a market leader in Europe.
By late 2025 demand for refurbished hardware and carbon-neutral IT rose sharply after EU rules tightened (EU Ecodesign 2024 updates); the green IT market expanded at ~12–15% CAGR, boosting Econocom’s addressable market.
The segment needs heavy capex for reverse-logistics and R&D; Econocom reinvested ~6–8% of segment revenue in 2024–25 to retain edge, but it captures a large share of the fast-growing green tech market.
Cybersecurity Managed Services is a Star: global managed security market grew 12.4% in 2024 to €45.6bn, and Econocom claims a top-3 French market share (~15%) after 2024 acquisitions, driving double-digit ARR growth (≈22% YoY in 2024).
Embedding security into 38% of Econocom’s digital transformation contracts in 2024 lifted retention to 92% and expanded deal ARR by €1.8m on average per account.
Keeping this Star status needs ongoing capex: Econocom earmarked €60m for security R&D and M&A in 2025 to fund AI detection, XDR and SOC scale against rising sophisticated threats.
The shift to hybrid work has driven demand for flexible subscription workplace solutions; Workplace-as-a-Service (WaaS) now represents ~28% of corporate device spending in Europe per 2024 IDC data, and Econocom’s WaaS bundles hardware, software, and support into a single monthly fee, boosting contract value and retention.
Econocom’s WaaS business unit holds a leading European market share—about 12% revenue share in 2024—serving 1,200+ enterprise customers and growing double digits YoY as companies invest to modernize employee experience platforms.
Digital Signage and Multimedia Solutions
Econocom’s Digital Signage and Multimedia division holds a strong market lead, serving 38% of European retail chains and 22% of corporate communications clients as of Q4 2025, driven by rising in-store digitization and AV integration.
Demand for interactive displays and integrated audiovisual systems grew ~14% YoY in 2024–2025, keeping the segment in a high-growth category that requires sustained marketing and R&D spend to protect position.
As a BCG Matrix star, it leads innovation and revenue contribution—generating €145m in 2025 revenue—while needing continued investment to fend off agile competitors and maintain margin.
- Market share: 38% retail, 22% corporate (Q4 2025)
- Growth: ~14% YoY (2024–2025)
- Revenue: €145m in 2025
- Strategy: ongoing promotion, R&D and channel expansion
Cloud and Hybrid Infrastructure Services
Econocom’s Cloud and Hybrid Infrastructure Services sit in the Stars quadrant: revenue from cloud migration and management grew 28% in 2024, driven by enterprise exits from legacy data centers and a 34% rise in hybrid deployments year-over-year.
The firm’s expertise in running complex hybrid environments—integrating on-prem, private cloud, and public hyperscalers—creates a clear competitive edge in a market forecasted to grow 22% annually through 2027.
Maintaining leadership requires sustained investment: Econocom plans to increase cloud engineering headcount by 20% in 2025 and expand hyperscaler partnerships (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud) to protect margins and capture enterprise deals.
