Database & Directory Publishing in the US - Industry Market Research Report


Database & Directory Publishing in the US

The era of the phone book is dead. The catastrophic fall of the Database and Directory Publishing industry between 2018 and 2023 has been driven by the sustained migration from print to digital advertising, as publishers historically generated the majority of their revenue from the sale of advertisement space in printed publications. Forced to focus on digital presence, the industry has experienced immovable competition from online search engines and social media platforms, limiting the industry's digital advertisement sales. As a result, industry revenue has been eroding at a CAGR of 7.9% over the past five years, and is expected to total $6.5 billion in 2023, including a projected drop of 2.5% over the year, as directory publishing continues to struggle after the COVID-19 pandemic.

This industry includes companies that publish organized compilations of information or facts. These collections may be published in print or electronic form. Electronic versions can be provided directly to customers by the publisher or offered through online services or third-party vendors. However, businesses that publish solely on the internet are excluded from this industry.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
