Global Spend On Financial Market Data & News Topped $28BN, Strongest Growth Since 2011 - Burton-Taylor Report

OSPREY, Fla., March 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Spending on financial market data/analysis and news set new highs in 2017, while showing the greatest year-on-year growth since 2011, according to a new report published today by Burton-Taylor International Consulting, part of TP ICAP's Data & Analytics division.

"The financial market data/analysis story continues to be one of unending demand for the information and tools necessary to ensure regulatory compliance," says Douglas B. Taylor, founder & Managing Director of Burton-Taylor.  "Moreover, the continued posturing of global exchanges and traditional market data vendors to serve those data demands is causing significant "hand-wringing" around the industry."

The report finds that global spend was up 3.57%, to reach USD28,480.9m, topping the 28 billion mark for the first time.  On a constant currency basis, the 2017 growth was 3.27%, as FX adjustments benefited the market by about USD80m.  

At 33.22%, Bloomberg increased revenue but slightly decreased market share, as did Thomson Reuters and S&P Global Market Intelligence, while FactSet Research Systems increased share to 4.45%.  Of the global players, Moody's Analytics led year-on-year growth with 19.06%, part of which was due to acquisition. 

Risk & Compliance users again were the fastest growing customer groups in 2017 and have now delivered a whopping 9.71% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the past five years.  Pricing, Reference & Valuation products and Portfolio Management & Analytics products were in highest demand, growing an average of 7.96% and 6.80% per year, respectively, over the same period.
