Financial Market Data Spending Reaches Record $42bn
  • Total spending hit a record $42 billion in 2023, driven by advanced technology
  • According to a new report by Burton Taylor, a division of Parameta Solutions (owned by TP ICAP)

Global spending on financial market data and news continued its decade-long growth streak with revenues jumping 12.4% to a record $42 billion in 2023. Although real-time trading and data spending accounted for the largest share of total revenues, strong demand for Pricing, Reference and Valuation data drove spending according to a new report published today by Burton Taylor International Consulting, a division of Parameta Solutions.

Slightly more than one-half of revenue is earned in the Americas, up from 48% just five years ago. Earnings among the three major geographic regions have changed little in the past year, with EMEA generating 31% of the total and Asia owning just short of 19%.

Bloomberg continues to claim the largest share of the global market data business, followed by LSEG Data & Analytics and S&P Global Market Intelligence, which are the only three providers that claim double-digit market share. Moody’s Analytics reported the sharpest revenue growth in 2023, followed by FactSet and S&P Global Market Intelligence

“The rapid growth of AI and similar advanced analytical technologies have elevated the value of market data beyond the level we’ve seen in recent years, driving notably higher growth rates in 2023,” says Hadley Weinberger, Sr. Analyst at Burton-Taylor. “Financial institutions are already using generative AI and other artificial intelligence tools across all areas of their operation, driving demand for data not only for trading and risk but also to extract intelligence in other operational areas of the business.”
