Industry Data
Essential data on the technology industry curated from trusted public sources
Nakono is conducting a forensic analysis of the public internet in order to identify the very best sources of industry data which is relevant to those engaged in analysis of the digital economy.
We are actively curating and uploading relevant data into our multi-category data platform, Nakono Fusion.
Examples of relevant sources include trade associations, media regulators, national statistics bodies, NGOs, research groups and many others who routinely publically publish data about the size of technology markets, product shipments levels, penetration rates, revenues earned by products and services and more.
Nakono has identified many thousands of public-domain sources which together contain a vast trove of unstructured data that is deeply held within multiple PDF documents, Excel spreadsheets and online databases.
Our data curation activities take place within hygienic process environment:
Hygenic Process Environment
Result: Reliable, accurate and verifiable data
- All sources are clearly and transparently referenced
- Source documents have been scrutinised in detail to extract relevant definitional and methodological notes
- Each captured data element is precisely defined to ensure absolute clarity about what the data refers to
- Any errors in the source documents are fixed and inconsistencies explained
- Before being uploaded into our data platform, all the data is sanity-checked with any apparent anomalies investigated
- All source documents can be downloaded from our servers
- Individual datapoints can be validated by a single click which will open the source PDF at the relevant page
- Explanatory notes
Nakono’s hygenic, deep curation process often results in data that is clearer and easier to interpret than the data in the source documents.
Available Datasets
This section summarises the datasets that are currently available as part of the Industry Data element of Nakono Fusion.

This dataset contains a wealth of data on the UK’s leading over the top (OTT) internet TV service, BBC iPlayer.
Launched in July 2007 to widespread acclaim, iPlayer has enjoyed a sustained period of steady growth and, as of Oct-15, served around 19 million weekly users.
Although iPlayer was a pioneering service when it was first launched, the pace of innovation has slowed somewhat in recent years and it is still only available in the United Kingdom.
Meanwhile, the OTT TV market has grown quickly with Netflix, Amazon and Sky’s NOW TV also serving large segments of the UK market.
Parameters contained in this dataset include:
- Number of programmes requested by users on a monthly, weekly and daily basis (TV and radio reported separately)
- Number of weekly users (TV and radio reported separately)
- Programme requests segmented by requesting device (e.g. IPTV devices, games consoles, computers, tablets and smartphones)
- TV programme requested segmented by (a) on-demand / catch-up and (b) live / simulcast
- Number of TV shows streamed by an average user of BBC iPlayer

This dataset includes numerical information on key aspects of the UK film industry from 1935 to 2014.
One of the most interesting parameters included in this dataset is the number of admissions to UK cinemas which can be charted from before WWII to today.
The staggering rise in popularity in cinema is clearly seen – before the advent of television – and then the dramatic fall can be seen afterward. But – critically – the effect of the rise of the internet and, more recently, social media have had not a significant impact on total cinema admissions which have continued to rise regardless, which is a fact that many may find surprising.

Detailed industry data shows the market life cycles for VHS, DVD and Blu-ray in 19 European markets.
Each country is presented separately with a range of key data. In particular, the rise and fall of the DVD format is quantified in exquisite detail while the struggles of the Blu-ray format are also quantified.
However, the data contain some unexpected surprises – it turns out that some Western European markets have demonstrated sustained loyalty to physical video formats – in spite of the ride of online alternatives.

The trends here will be of interest to anyone who is involved with long-range forecasting for representative consumer products and wants to benchmark their projections with historic data.
The effect of the internet on DVD is painfully apparent with cannibalisation taking hold with a vengeance when fixed broadband penetration reached around 30%, at which point – for many consumers – every dollar spent on online video was a dollar that was not spend on DVD video.
Parameters contained in this dataset include:
- Total spending on physical video (VHS, DVD and Blu-ray)

The data clearly show the explosive growth of cinema in the industry’s formative years and also the damaging effect of television on cinema attendance.
However, more recently, and in spite of the US having been the birthplace of the Internet and social media, the data clearly show that cinema remains as popular as ever with no sign of any significant fall in US cinema attendance sine 1995.

The NAA is the industry association representing the interests of US newspaper publishers, whose businesses have been decimated by the development of the internet.
Indeed, the decline in newspaper advertising revenues has been so serious that the NAA ceased reporting this parameter in 2012 – including even the digital advertising element, which itself had shown anaemic growth since 2003 when it was first reported.
The data presented here offer one of the best quantifications of how the Internet has decimated the newspaper industry of a whole country and offers a template for predicting the fate of traditional newspaper business models in all similarly-mature internet markets worldwide.
