Axon Enterprise, Inc.’s (AXON - Free Report) Software & Services segment is playing an important role in driving its overall growth. An increase in the aggregate number of users to the Axon network is aiding the segment’s performance. Revenues from the segment surged 39.6% year over year in the first nine months of 2025, driven by strong momentum in digital evidence management and rising demand for premium add-on features. Adoption of higher-tier subscription plans remains robust as customers increasingly recognize the value of enhanced capabilities.
Repeat purchases of additional services by existing customers underscore strong retention and satisfaction, supporting steady growth in annual recurring revenues (ARR). Healthy demand for TASER devices, virtual reality training solutions and counter-drone equipment continues to support the segment’s growth. New product innovations also continue to play a key role in its upliftment, as the customers are rapidly adopting products like Draft One and the OSP 10 premium bundle.
Rising incidents of terrorism, crime and fraudulent activities are expected to further boost demand for Axon’s solutions in the coming quarters. Driven by this solid business momentum, Axon raised its full-year 2025 revenue guidance to approximately $2.74 billion, up from its earlier outlook of $2.65-$2.73 billion, implying about 31% year-over-year growth.
