A software product is not used alone. It is integrated with supporting hardware and software. Together with developers, users, and other players, they form a software ecosystem. Accordingly, the success of a software product not only depends on the quality of the functions it can provide, but also depends on the success of its interdependent hardware, software, and other interacted players within its ecosystem. The software ecosystem studied so far ignored an important factor, the energy source. In this paper, market is considered as the energy source of a software ecosystem. It directly or indirectly affects all players within this ecosystem and finally determines the success of a software product. We call this market-driven software ecosystem. Our analysis of market-driven software ecosystem is performed on two communities: open source community and mobile computing community.
