(Actual Figures)

Zoom has a diverse range of customers from individuals to Fortune 500 corporations. The company’s current customer base spans numerous industry categories, including education, entertainment/media, finance, enterprise infrastructure, government, health care, manufacturing, non-profit/not for profit and social impact, retail/consumer products, and software/internet. In the fiscal year that ended on January 31, 2021, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of Zoom’s total revenue. The company had around 467,100 customers with more than 10 employees as of January 31, 2021.

Zoom’s customers steadily increased from 265,400 to 497,000 during the period Q1 2020 to Q1 2021, which was an 87% increase. Similarly, there was an increase of 39% between Q1 2020 and Q2 2020 when the number of customers increased from 265,400 to 370,200, which was the highest among all quarters. However, this growth rate slowed down to 17%, from 370,200 in Q2 2020 to 433,700 in Q4 2020. Between Q3 2020 and Q4 2020, the rate of growth in the number of customers was 7%. But between Q4 2020 and Q1 2021 the company witnessed the lowest growth rate among all quarters of 6%, from 467,100 to 497,000.

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced educational institutions and companies to break away from their traditional methods of functioning and adopt the work-from-home model. This, in turn, has led to a windfall for voice and video conferencing services providing companies. Zoom appears to have benefitted from this development and has added additional customers to its existing customer base.

The company has started providing new features such as filters, reactions, lighting, noise cancellation, and more control on presentations. These features will give organizations the ability to link contacts across multiple accounts, which also helps people to easily and securely search for meetings, chats, and even phone contacts. Through these new features, the company expects an increase in its customer base.
