IDC provides this data.

Worldwide revenue data (in $M) we have for HIDS and host-firewalls (some of
which have HIDS functionality) is:

                        1999    2000    2001    2002    2003    2004
Host-Resident Firewalls 18      40      90      180     340     540
(workstations only)
Host-Resident IDS       43      87      131     166     194     213     (all
hosts including mainframe)

Does anyone know of any market research papers that have 
stats comparing
the number of HIDS licenses shipped vs. NIDS licenses?  Or 
heck, anything
that BALLPARKS estimated deployment numbers?

What I'm trying to find out is which type is more prevalent in the
commercial space.  *trying to dodge the tripwire debate*  
My guess is
NIDS, but I have nothing to back this up...

Thanks,

-Greg
