The research industry, and where this research sits
A map of the organisations people mean when they say 'market research': advisory firms, financial data and ratings houses, consumer and web-traffic researchers, startup databases, and the free government sources underneath much of it. For each one: who owns it, how big it is, what it sells, how it is priced and who buys it. Revenue for US-listed companies comes from their latest annual SEC filing. Several have changed hands recently: Semrush (and the Exploding Topics service it owned) now belongs to Adobe, IDC is owned by Blackstone, and the company at insiderone.com is a marketing platform, not a research firm. Outside North America, it lists the official sources for the UK, Ireland, the EU, Australia and New Zealand: statistics offices, business counts, company registers, labour data, central banks and the crosswalk from each industry code to NAICS. The main point: the paid firms sell access (seats, subscriptions, analysts, custom surveys), while much of the underlying industry data is free from statistics agencies.

Data tooling, not research
These are tools for a company to collect, store and analyse its own data. They are not sources of market research: they tell you nothing about a market you do not already have data on. They are here only because they are often mentioned in the same breath.

Buyers are product, marketing and data teams. Twilio has not reported Segment separately since Q3 2025. A tool for a company's own data, not market research. |

Free public sources this research is built on
Government statistics agencies and regulators publish, free of charge, much of the raw industry data that paid firms repackage. This site is built mainly on these.

United Kingdom
The UK is the easiest market to extend to: free counts by 4-digit SIC, size band and local authority, a free company register with filed accounts in machine-readable form, and published SIC–NACE–ISIC links; the one gap is that there is no official SIC-to-NAICS table, so mapping runs through ISIC.
| Office for National Statistics (ONS) — site opened, 200 Plays the role of Statistics Canada / BEA + BLS combined in one office. |
GDP, GVA by industry, business population and demography, labour market, regional accounts; all freeA |

Ireland
Ireland's CSO gives business counts, demography and earnings by NACE sector free, and the CRO now publishes its register and filed financial statements as open data; figures are coded to NACE, not NAICS, and small-sector detail is often suppressed for confidentiality.
| Central Statistics Office (CSO) — site opened, 200 Ireland's GDP is distorted by multinationals; CSO's modified GNI* is the better guide to the domestic market. |
GDP and modified GNI, enterprise statistics, labour force, earnings; free, with PxStat tablesA |

European Union
Eurostat gives harmonised business counts, demography and earnings for all member states by NACE, usually at 2-digit (sometimes 4-digit) level with a 2-to-3-year lag; there is no EU-wide free database of company accounts, only a search across national registers.

National accounts, SBS, business demography, LFS, earnings, trade; free with an APIA |

Australia
Australia is a close match to the site's Canadian model: ABS counts of businesses by ANZSIC class, size and region, with entries, exits and survival, and an official ANZSIC ↔ ISIC Rev. 4 table; company financials are the weak point, since ASIC charges for documents.
| Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) — site opened, 200 Direct counterpart of Statistics Canada. |

Looked for and not found
Claims this page would have made if a source could be opened. They are left out rather than guessed.
- IDC's revenue: IDC is private under Blackstone and publishes no revenue; none found in a credible outlet, so omitted. IDC's About page does not name its owner. Ownership is based on the 2021 IDG announcement; no later sale was found.
- CB Insights, Crunchbase and Dealroom revenue: none reported by the companies. Third-party estimates (for example, $79.8M for CB Insights) were found only in estimate aggregators and not used.
- Twilio Segment's own revenue: Twilio stopped reporting Segment separately in Q3 2025, so only Twilio's total is given.
- Exploding Topics' purchase price: undisclosed. Its ownership rests on a founder announcement and trade press (tier C). No separate filing was found.
- Datarails' ~$550M valuation comes from press coverage of the Series C, not from the company's own release.
- Thomson Reuters: the size of Woodbridge's controlling stake was not checked in the 40-F text, so no percentage is given.
- Pricing descriptions (seats, freemium, per project) come from company websites and filings as of September 2026. List prices are mostly unpublished and were not collected.
- No official UK SIC ↔ NAICS or ANZSIC ↔ NAICS concordance was found; the mapping must go through ISIC Rev. 4 (UNSD tables).
- US Census's NAICS concordance page (census.gov/naics) blocked automated access (403), so a 2022 NAICS ↔ ISIC Rev. 4 table could not be confirmed; the 2017 version on the UNSD site was opened.
- Whether ABS/Stats NZ have begun a formal ANZSIC 2006 review: not found on the pages opened.
- CRO (Ireland) and ASIC document fees: the paid status of filed accounts is from general knowledge; neither fee page was opened.
- The claim that UK SIC 2007 follows NACE Rev. 2 to 4 digits is standard but was not stated on the ONS pages opened.
