The future of the corporate digital workplace is being actively architected by the powerful and comprehensive strategies of the leaders in the Device as a Service (DaaS) market. A deep dive into the strategies of these Device as a Service Market Market Leaders—primarily the "big three" PC OEMs, Dell, HP, and Lenovo—reveals a fundamental and strategic transformation of their entire business model. They are moving from being transactional hardware manufacturers to becoming long-term, strategic service providers. Their core strategy is to use their dominance in hardware manufacturing as a launchpad to build a deeply entrenched, recurring-revenue relationship with their enterprise customers, centered on managing the entire lifecycle of a device. This strategic pivot is a direct response to the commoditization of PC hardware and the immense growth opportunity presented by the service-based economy. The Device as a Service Market size is projected to grow USD 1804.35 Billion by 2035, exhibiting a CAGR of 25.64% during the forecast period 2025-2035. To capture a leading share of this massive market, these leaders are executing a multi-faceted strategy that combines their hardware, software, and global services capabilities into a single, cohesive, and highly "sticky" offering.
The cornerstone of the market leaders' strategy is the creation of a complete, end-to-end device lifecycle management solution. This goes far beyond a simple hardware lease. The strategy begins with a consultative approach to help a client choose the right device personas for their different employee roles. It then encompasses the entire "procure-to-retire" process. This includes factory-level device configuration and imaging, secure logistics and deployment to employees' homes or offices, and 24/7 proactive support powered by AI-driven analytics that can predict hardware failures before they occur. The most critical and strategically important part of the offering is the end-of-life process. The DaaS provider takes on the full responsibility for securely retrieving old devices, performing certified data erasure to ensure corporate data is protected, and then responsibly refurbishing, redeploying, or recycling the hardware in an environmentally sustainable manner. By offering this complete, cradle-to-grave service, the leaders are solving a major operational and compliance headache for their enterprise clients and creating a value proposition that a simple hardware reseller or leasing company cannot match.
A second crucial pillar of the market leaders' strategy is the transformation of their business and financial model. The DaaS offering allows them to shift their revenue from a volatile, transactional model based on one-time hardware sales to a predictable, stable, and highly valued recurring-revenue model based on multi-year subscription contracts. This is a major strategic goal for all of them, as it is much more attractive to investors and provides a more stable foundation for long-term planning and investment. To enable this, they have had to build out significant in-house financing capabilities or forge deep partnerships with major financial institutions to underwrite these large-scale service contracts. A third strategic element is the development of a powerful software layer. The leaders are investing heavily in creating sophisticated, cloud-based management portals and analytics engines. These platforms provide their clients with real-time visibility into their entire device fleet, including device health, application usage, and security posture. This data-driven aspect is a key differentiator, allowing the DaaS providers to move from being a simple hardware supplier to being a strategic partner that can provide insights to help optimize the client's IT environment and employee productivity. The Device as a Service Market size is projected to grow USD 1804.35 Billion by 2035, exhibiting a CAGR of 25.64% during the forecast period 2025-2035.
