A question that people evaluating Microsoft Dynamics ERP often ask me is, “How many companies are using Microsoft Dynamics?” These are the recently updated numbers from Convergence 2015 provided to me by Jim Desler, Director, Corporate Communications at Microsoft.
2015 Breakdown of the Microsoft Dynamics customer numbers worldwide by product:
| Microsoft Dynamics® AX | 20,000 companies |
| Microsoft Dynamics® GP | 47,000 companies |
| Microsoft Dynamics® NAV | 110,000 companies |
| Microsoft Dynamics® SL | 13,500 companies |
| Microsoft Dynamics® CRM | 40,000+ companies 4.4 million users |
Also:
Microsoft Dynamics Retail: 46,500
Microsoft Dynamics C5: 85,000
Microsoft XAL,C4/Apertum: 30,000
If you want to compare with past statistics:
2014 Breakdown of the Microsoft Dynamics customer numbers worldwide by product :
| Microsoft Dynamics® AX | 19,000 companies |
| Microsoft Dynamics® GP | 47,000 companies |
| Microsoft Dynamics® NAV | 102,000 companies |
| Microsoft Dynamics® SL | 13,500 companies |
| Microsoft Dynamics® CRM | 40,000 companies 4 million users |
Plus Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System reported a surprisingly high 45,000 companies.
More details from Convergence 2014:
- Microsoft Dynamics AX: Over 30% license growth in North America over last 6 months
- Microsoft Dynamics CRM: 38 quarters of double digit growth
- Microsoft Dynamics NAV & Microsoft Dynamics GP: Customer adds grew over 30% in last 6 months
To compare: Here are the official counts from Convergence 2013.
Breakdown of the Microsoft Dynamics customer numbers worldwide by product:
| Microsoft Dynamics® AX | 18,000 companies |
| Microsoft Dynamics® GP | 43,000 companies |
| Microsoft Dynamics® NAV | 94,000 companies |
| Microsoft Dynamics® SL | 13,500 companies |
| Microsoft Dynamics® CRM | 39,000 companies (3 million users) |
Included in these are some famous companies and brands using Microsoft Dynamics ERP and CRM.
Why are there more Dynamics NAV users than any other? Because this is a count of worldwide customers. Dynamics NAV has a huge customer base in Europe. If this was a count of only US companies, Dynamics GP would have the highest amount.

Informative content and I agree with a person about existing list of it. It could be few numbers of sites rather than the list.
This is exact count of customer or tentative count, I am looking for Dynamics NAV Partner and Reseller companies. where can I get Dynamics NAV partner in English Speaking countries?
Sorry, I have never heard of a list like this being published.
Hi,
This is very informative. Is it possible to obtain an actual list of the names of all these companies? And now that all these have been merged to form Dynamics 365, how would those numbers look now? Is a list of the names of these companies available?
Thanks
Sorry, a list like this is not available.
If i wanted to learn one of SAP or MS Dynamics which one should I learn?
Since Microsoft RMS is going away, many master class solutions are available to take it's place. My suggestion is NCR Counterpoint and dealer POS Highway...they know retail and their solutions are better than MS Dynamics RMS.
Is there an update of the statistics? Now with the release of Dynamics 365
Obviously MS NAV is very popular but the recent developments have been far less than stellar. With the main emphasis on the connectors to CRM. Is NAV going to continue to be supported and developed or is this the last hurrah for that platform?
Hello All

Best regards,

Hi Anya,
This information is very helpful, especially when discussing growth rates with our board. We are a hosting company that has specialized in the Dynamics space for many years. Do you know if Microsoft has provided any YOY revenue statistics for the Dynamics business? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe Stafford
Hi Joe - I am glad the info is helpful. But I don't have any YOY revenue stats to report.
Great post to know how many Companies Use Microsoft Dynamics
How does the growth rate of Dynamics NAV compare to that of other peer ERP systems?
Millions of companies use Microsoft Dynamics such as ERP, CRM. ERP modules NAV, AX are used in the hospitals, software development and management consultancies. Its very beneficial for every industry.

Interesting figures.

It would be cool to know how many food manufacturing companies use Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 and from what sections of the United States.
I will like to know the highest number of users that Microsoft Dynamics NAV can support. Can you give me an example of companies that have thousands of users on Microsoft Dynamics NAV?
Thanks, the survey is great enable we professionals to know where to improve and glide on. it will be great if the following can be made available;
a. Drill down to industry sector applicable for each product line.

Thanks for the great article. Does anyone know if MS AX 2012 can handle software type of business. Aside from our traditional 200m$ HW business, we do have a SW business with a growing SaaS dynamics. Looking to understand if MS AX 2012 has capabilities, built in or with side modules, to manage such type of business. Would appreciate some contacts to discuss. thanks a lot, Br

We deal in Microsoft Dynamics - AX, NAV, CRM and SP. At present, focussing for african continent so looking for partners, present users over there? Please assist if you have any related data or even facts and figures for the same.
Regards
Akash
Sorry M. Leitz but this is the only information available.
Thanx for the statistics! Are there statistics available about Germany?
Thanks for the great post it is really interesting to see the increase in adoption of Microsoft Dynamics over the past couple years. Now that Satya Nadella is the CEO over at Microsoft I wouldn't be surprised to see a stronger push of the Dynamics product set being that he used to run the Cloud Computing division at Microsoft. They have already started to increase the advertising so it will be interesting to see what the future has in store for the product line. We have seen a large amount of clients start to use our and implementation services, which seems to signify that a lot of businesses with less experience with ERP and CRM solutions are starting to see the value associated with these products. We are excited to see how the trends will change over the course of this year as well!
Considering the fact that smaller companies use products like NAV and bigger companies use products like AX, the number of customers doesn't really tell how it impacts the real usage. Bigger companies would have more users, so these graphs would be more interesting to see with the number of users instead. 🙂
Iam an dynamics expert, having worked in a tobacco ie Greatbrands Nigeria Limited. Any company who is need of my service can contact me through 08068346889.
Sorry Chris, Those figures are not available. It is not broken down by location.
Do you know if these statistics are available for only United States? If so, please inform where I can retrieve. I would like to see the state by state statistics too, if they are published.
Thank you,
Chris
No, Sorry Andrew. We don't have the numbers broken down like this. I wish we did!
Very impressive figures for NAV. Can you provide me with the stats for NAV broken down by industry sector & whether server hosted or SaaS please. Thank you.

Hi,
I am an financial controller by profession. Currently I am in the job search phase and want to add ERP to my skill sets. Based in Europe, I want to go for ERP which is highly in demand by medium and large sized enterprises.
I need your advice in helping me decide which ERP should i invest in while adding to my skill sets.
Your guidance will be of great help to me.Based on the research I have done so far, I am confused between SAP, MS Dynamics AX & NAV and Oracle Financial (Hyperion?).
What do you advice?
Thanks in advance.
As of 2013 how many companies are enabled with ERP (any ERP)and how many not implemented?
Thanks in advance
Good question - which printing companies use erp. When investigating this remember that the lingo in this industry is MIS and they would not know an ERP system if it selfinstalled on their server 🙂 At least the smaller ones. Typically we see smaller companies with MIS systems; estimation package, production planning, costing and invoicing, and not too much activity on the item management side. Bigger companies have management who are interested in more emphasis on ERP. NAV is a really good basis for this. In my company we have put our own vertical on top for the printing industry. If you are interested I can give you some examples of our CfMD product called PrintVis and a some references.
we need to know name of printing companies use erp
