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

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

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."

thereof    9 % print, 9 % digital (2015 forecast)

Revenue Share Live Events ~ 18 % (2013)

Revenue UK B2B Media realized Overseas ~ 50 % (2013)

SDL Global Study: Five Truths for Future Marketers or Understanding the Millennials

Based on results from a global study of Millennials (January - April 2014) in Australia, Germany, Norway, The Netherlands, UK and US, and others by SDL plc (UK).

The Channel Engagement is (now) in the Hands of the Consumer, stupid!

Source: Infograph

SDL Study tells about five Truths for future marketers you better consider and embrace (even unwillingly)

1) Campaigns are extinct
2) Channels are irrelevant
3) Content finds the customer
4) There is only one language
5) Your data trumps Big Data

In short, the advice is:
Not only your Millennials customers want what they want, when they want it. So don’t focus on individual channels, consider the experience you want them to have and adjust your strategies accordingly.
