Total revenues for the business-to-business media industry rose 4.8% from $25.6 billion in 2012 to $26.8 billion in 2013, according to the latest figures from the Business Information Network, a service of the Association of Business Information & Media Companies, which is a division of the Software & Information Industry Association. The increase was due to rapid growth in digital advertising revenue, which jumped 22% to $5 billion, as well as data and business information, which rose 10% to $2.8 billion, plus a smaller increase in events revenue, up 3% to $12 billion. These increases more than offset a 4% decline in print advertising, to $7 billion, reflecting a 6.4% drop in print ad pages. ABM managing director Mike Marchesano stated: “Business-to-business media is sitting on a gold mine of customer data and business intelligence, and companies appear to be taking advantage of it. B-to-B media companies are increasingly offering business intelligence with quality, actionable insight into customer behavior.” Looking ahead, Marchesano predicted: “Growth should continue as the media and information companies continue to blaze new trails as a result of recent acquisitions and partnerships with data and market research companies.” Over the last five years, the proportion of total B2B revenues coming from events slipped from 46% in 2008 to 45% in 2013, while the share from print advertising fell from 37% to 26% over the same period, and digital advertising increased from 11% to almost 19%. Revenue from data and business info increased from 6% to 10% of the total.
