Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'software' (programs for computers) with 'industry' (the sector producing goods or services): it straightforwardly denotes the sector concerned with software. This noun-noun compositional pattern is common in English and cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The phrase software industry joins software ('computer programs') with industry ('the business of making and selling things'), creating an image of companies 'making' programs like products in a factory. That's why it means the businesses that create and sell computer programs.
