DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/e97e37/the_uk_b2b_informa) has announced the addition of the "The UK B2B Information Market" report to their offering.
After declining revenues in 2009, the B2B information market began to stabilise in 2010 although there was still a marginal decline of 0.5% in total market size. In 2011, the weakest market segments - business press and business directories - are expected to continue to face revenue decreases. Some limited growth across all market sectors is expected in 2012 for the first time since 2008 but, given the recent downgrading of UK economic forecasts and advertising expenditure forecasts, this growth could be quickly curtailed. The UK B2B Information Market covers trade journals/magazines, directories, business information services, and trade conferences/ exhibitions. The contents pages from the report are included as an Appendix.
- Exhibitions and conferences plus business information services have been relatively resilient in the last two years and maintained modest growth but trade journals and B2B directories/databases have struggled as advertising revenues have fallen dramatically.
- Traditional directory publishers have faced a range of new competitors including new startup Internet directory providers, search engines, and business networking sites but are now pushing ahead with digital strategies to combat declining sales.
- Trade journals have had to face competition from free and low-cost information sources and traditional publishers have been slower to adapt to the new digital environment. Most now have a digital presence but few have a clear business model to make money from their online content.
