Just released: The Reuters Institute Digital News Report 2016

The 5th edition of the annual Reuters Institute Digital News Report shows inter alia
  • Social Media are often the key source of news
  • Original news brand get less noticed
  • Consumers still reluctant to pay for general news online

Studying the data presented in the report (and even more data on RISJ Website www.digitalnewsreport.org ) and seeing the changes over time, the directions in news discovery and news consumption as well as the different lines and stages of development over the years in 26 countries is really worthwhile to analyze for anyone planning and leading in the news industry.

UK Business Information Sector according to Outsell Inc. (2013), AA/WARC, and PPA (Part 1)

Shortly after the German Association of B2B Magazine Publisher announced their 'traditional' B2B Publishing stats for 2015, declaring the total turnover of 2015 to add up to € 4.3 bn, they came out with a report from Schickler Consulting, commissioned by the association, with a re-measurement of the German B2B Media and Information Market than adding up to € 28.3 bn.

We guess the new resurvey was inspired by a study from Outsell for year 2013, commissioned by their
sister association PPA Business (UK), and presented at the German Fachpresse Kongress 2014 by Joe Hames (Slidedeck). So we will start from here:

According to Outsell, Inc., the Top Players in the business information market worldwide are US, UK, DE, JP and China.

€ 27.8 bn - United States*
€ 18.5 bn - United Kingdom*
€ 15.5 - 17.9 bn - Germany
€ 11.9 - Japan
next    - China

Source: Outsell estimate. Figures for US and UK confirmed as of 2013
- Exchange rate used UKP - EUR  Ø Dec. 2013 -

The Outsell study was performed only once, probably because the definitions were controversial and spongy ... lets try and extrapolate, how this figures would look like for 2015.

UK Business Information Sector

in 2013: € 18.5 bn / Mrd.   (UKP 15.5 bn / Mrd.) 


Split in Inbound / Outbound (2013)

in 2016
- our estimate / forecast for 2016: € 22.8 bn / Mrd.
- Schickler's auxiliary calculation for 2016: € ~ 20,1 bn / Mrd.


US Business Information Sector

in 2013: € 27.8 bn / Mrd.  (UKP 23.3 bn / Mrd.) 

in 2016
- our estimate / forecast for 2016: € ~ 32.6 bn / Mrd.
- Schickler's auxiliary calculation for 2016: € ~ 107.2 bn / Mrd.

For comparison, but not comparable

German Business Information Sector (2016) - according to Fachpresse / Schickler

in 2016: € 28.3 bn / Mrd.  see more under (in German)

From now on we look at actual research by AA/WARC and PPA Business

UK Business Media in 2015

Lets look at data available from AA/WARC and PPA /
 Consultancy Wessenden Marketing (for non-members, you are welcome to add more)


Total Ad Spend by AA / WARC



Consumer + Business Media Ad Spend Print + Digital
by AA / WARC



UK Print Adspend in B2C + B2B Magazines 2000 - 2013




Suzy Young explains "The sector has recorded a 77% drop in advertising spend since 2000, falling from £1,270m to £280m last year. By comparison, spend for consumer titles has fallen by a more modest 39% since its peak in 2005, from £827m to £506m.

This difference can largely be explained by the business and professional magazine brands' reliance on classified advertising. Back in 2000, classified adspend in business magazines accounted for 40% of total advertising spend, equivalent to £512m. By 2013, this had dropped to a 16% share - or just £45m."

Zenith: Ranking of the Top 30 Global Media Owners 2016 (with data from 2014)

Digital Giants Tighten Their Grip on Top Media Owner Ranking
Alphabet (the new name for Google’s holding company) has increased its lead as the world’s largest media owner in the new ranking published today by Zenith. The company’s media revenues total US$60bn, 166% more than its nearest rival’s, Walt Disney. Alphabet has steadily pulled away from Disney over the past few years; last year it was 136% larger than Disney, up 21% on the previous year.

The Top Thirty Global Media Owners report is a unique ranking of the world’s largest media companies by media revenue, as estimated by Zenith. The report was launched in 2007 and was last published by Zenith in 2015. Zenith defines media revenue as all revenue deriving from businesses that support advertising, to determine which companies are most important for the marketing industry.*
