That's equivalent to asking, are people's desires limited? The answer appears to be no, in the short term.

It is more asking:

A) Do people have the time/money to use X products? and B) Are there X people who want to use a given product (at a given price/time point)?

I have no doubt that there is a limit on the number of successful startups due to A and B.
