As of 2013, the market share of open hardware (by OSHWA definition) enterprises was about $100M, or about one millionth of the global 100 trillion dollar economy. Sparkfun was the largest open source hardware company, about $30M in revenue. Other notable enterprises include Adafruit Industries, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Lulzbot, and DIY Drones. Many more are not open according to the OSHWA definition.
