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:
This section summarises the datasets that are currently available as part of the Industry Data element of Nakono Fusion.
Remember that in addition to the Industry Data outlined below, Nakono Fusion also contains a wealth of Forecasts and Company Financial Data, all of which is instantly accessible via the search box at the top of this page.

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.

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.

This extensive dataset presents a fascinating picture of how the physical video market in Europe has developed since 1996.
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 development of the US video entertainment market from 1996 is amply encapsulated in this dataset which shows the life cycle of the VHS and DVD formats and also the emerging Blu-ray and digital video formats.
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.

The primary geographic focus on this dataset is the United States but you will also find data presented on a worldwide and regional basis and - for some parameters – selected countries as well.
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.

This extensive dataset includes a wide range of data and statistics on the Indian telecoms, mobile, internet and broadcast markets as reported by the country’s national regulator, TRAI.
As one of the most importing developing economies worldwide it is vital that those who are developing global product and service propositions properly understand how India’s key technology, media and telecoms indicators are developing.
The staggering growth of mobile is revealed in the data, as is the country’s rural nature where most of the population still live in environments that may remain unaddressable by commercially-based internet providers for some time.
Parameters contained in this dataset include:

We have harvested a trove of critical data from the UK’s media and telecoms regulator, Ofcom, which paints a clear picture of how the UK telecoms and media market has evolved sine 1998.
This data paints a clear picture of how the UK fixed and mobile broadband markets have developed, including not just user numbers by service provider market shares and technology aspects as well.
Once of the many fascinating phenomena that are quantified by this data concerns how data usage increases as the download speed of an internet connections increases – seemingly without limit.
Parameters contained in this dataset include:

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.
Parameters contained in this dataset include:
Data Included: | 123 parameters 778 datapoints |

This is an extremely interesting expose of the UK card payments industry with very detailed data, presented on a monthly basis, which shows expenditure levels and transaction volumes by industry vertical.
The dataset also includes figures for the vale of online card payments and contactless card payments.
The effect of fraud on the UK card payments industry is also quantified with detailed data available for a range of fraud metrics. Overall fraud losses are shown to have fallen from around 12% of total card turnover between 2004 and 2008 to around 7% between 2011 and 2014.
Parameters contained in this dataset include:

This dataset contains a selection of the data that is reported on a regular basis by Gartner and which Nakono considers to be directly relevant to the digital economy.
The aspect of most interest concerns PC shipments, which have been captured back as far as 2001 and are shown by vendor for a number of regions and countries.
Here we can see the rise and fall of not just the PC but the von Neumann computing architecture which has dominated the field of computing since 1945: looking ahead it is becoming clear that personal computing is not just shifting to mobile but also to a new computation paradigm that will be better optimised for the specific needs of AI applications and services.
