The global market data industry has crossed an important milestone — and what comes next matters more than the headline number.

📊 In 2025, industry revenues exceeded $50bn for the first time, reflecting the continued growth in demand for data across trading, investment, and risk decision-making.
While overall growth has moderated compared with recent years, the composition of that growth is shifting, with different product categories contributing in different ways. Understanding where momentum is building — and where it is slowing — requires granular, customisable data that allows firms to size markets precisely and tailor insights to their specific needs.
Over the coming weeks, we will be sharing key insights from our 2026 Market Data Report, starting with how the industry reached this $50bn milestone and what it signals for the year ahead.
