New Industry Study Released…

Online Education: An Industry & Competitor Analysis (August 2011)

Report # FS37

$1,495, August 2011, 115 pages, 38 Tables

This first ever analysis by Marketdata examines the booming $60 billion “distance learning” or online education industry used by 6.2 million students The industry has grown rapidly since 2002, as lax federal requirements for student loans permitted many consumers to pursue alternative careers or certifications to make themselves more marketable or make a career change. Internet access and heavy advertising also fueled demand. The last recession significantly increased enrollments. However, 2011 is a major transition year, as double-digit growth comes to a halt amid new federal rules regarding Pell grants and Title IV loans, and scrutiny of schools’ recruitment practices. As is true of many high growth sectors, online education has its growing pains—namely “diploma mills” that sell fake degrees and dubious accreditations, prompting critics to question the quality of online courses.

The study examines industry revenues/growth, competitor profiles/rankings, major industry issues, new federal regulations, the impact of the recession, bogus diploma mills, demand vis a vis traditional post-secondary education, etc. Covers national revenues from 2002-2010, 2011 estimates, 2015 forecasts). The study examines major findings of the Babson Survey Research Group and Sloan Consortium annual surveys, combined with proprietary Marketdata research, rankings and interviews.

In-depth profiles included for: The University of Phoenix (Apollo Group), Kaplan Higher Education (Washington Post), Capella University, DeVry University, Strayer University, Argosy University, Corinthian College, American Military University and Career Education.

Groundbreaking New Study - The Only Analysis That Exists

This fascinating and groundbreaking new Marketdata study examines the crowded $842 million weight loss websites market.  Research for this study was based on primary research involving an exhaustive analysis of the leading diet website metrics, both public and privately owned companies. 6-year trend data covering online dieter demographics and diet program preferences from 2005-2010 was analyzed—the BestDietForMe.com database proprietary to Marketdata.

Literally thousands of diet websites exist, yet most don’t make any money or profit. WeightWatchers.com and SparkPeople are the leaders, with the former taking in $196 million last year via 1 million paid subscribers. A variety of revenue generating models are used, but the trend seems to be toward free, advertiser-supported sites, rather than paid subscriptions. More review/information websites have appeared, taking their place among product-oriented sites that actually sell a diet program or products.

The study covers: Status of the overall weight loss market, nature/structure of the online dieting market, types of diet websites, revenue models used, how sites obtain traffic (natural vs. purchased), rankings by Alexa, Compete and Quantcast, ad networks, affiliate programs, Google AdSense, online dieter demographics (sex, age, BMI, diet budget, preferred program location, preferred food, previous plans used, etc.), market size (2005-2009, 2010 & 2014 forecasts).  Effects of the recession and social media. Also covers methods to value a diet website for sale/acquisition (with a sample valuation) and management outlooks and opinions of market growth and the competition. Rankings/tables for 27 top diet websites: year founded, traffic rank, % from U.S., estimated revenues, sites linked to it, pay per click monthly budget, no. of page views, bounce %, time spent per visitor, % female traffic, whether site accepts ads or uses an affiliate program, has an email newsletter, community support, e-commerce store, more. A wealth of website data exists, if one knows where to look.

U.S. Debt Collections Agencies: An Industry Analysis

Report # FS19

(October 2009 - 7th Edition)

160 pages,  47 Tables,  Price: $1,795

This newly updated bestseller by Marketdata examines the $12 billion business of debt collection agencies. Complaints by consumers about harassment by collectors still exists and tops the list of complaints to the FTC. With the recession, it has gotten worse, since it has become more difficult to collect on (liquidate) accounts. Many consumers are out of work or struggling to pay for the necessities and have no funds to repay debts.

Collections is a fragmented business of 6,500 mostly small firms. Major consolidation has taken place amongst collections agencies since the late 1990’s, and one firm, NCO Financial Systems, now accounts for $1.5 billion in sales, by virtue of acquiring its biggest competitor (OSI Solutions). Technology is making firms more efficient and profitability had risen until the recession hit. After a period of strong growth from 1999-2004, top-line revenue growth has slowed substantially – only 1.6% last year. Future growth will have to come from untapped niche segments such as healthcare accounts, legal, cell phone bills, municipal government, and outsourced IRS tax debt.

The study examines industry revenues/growth, competitor profiles/rankings, consumer debt trends and industry issues, extensive operating ratios, etc. Covers national revenues (1987-2007 actual, 2008 & 2009 estimates, 2013 forecasts), latest Census data industry operating ratios. The study examines consumer debt trends, the debt buying market, outsourcing, status of IRS tax debt business, market segments, delinquencies and bankruptcy trends, and more.

U.S. Fertility Clinics & Infertility Services - An Industry Analysis

Report # FS32

$1,895, August 2009, 191 Pages,  53 Tables

This analysis by Marketdata examines a controversial $4 billion healthcare service sector — infertility services. This loosely regulated “baby business” has come under the spotlight lately, as the Nadya Suleman (OctoMom) case brought up issues of unethical practices by some fertility doctors practicing “assisted reproductive technology” (ART) and implanting multiple embryos.

ART now produces more than 50,000 babies per year in the U.S. via 142,000 IVF procedures (nearly tripled since 1999), and demand is growing from the ranks of 7+ million infertile women, many of which delayed childbearing due to careers. There are 483 U.S. fertility clinics, 100+ sperm banks, an unknown number of egg donors, and 1,700 reproductive endocrinologists competing for the business, which is lucrative. In addition, the global market for fertility drugs tops $1 billion. Only one corporate “chain”, IntegraMed, exists, as most programs are run by small MD practices or are part of a hospital or University.

This unique new study by Marketdata examines the nature/evolution of the business, national receipts/growth from 1988 to 2013 forecast, extensive infertile customer demographics, key industry trends, industry regulation, pricing, industry consolidation, insurance coverage, ethical issues and calls for reform, effects of the recession, and more. The study presents the findings of Marketdata’s mail/phone survey of fertility clinic managers, with average costs and number of specific diagnostic procedures. Contains results of the latest (2006 & 2007) CDC ART surveys, with IVF success rates, plus a name/address directory of 400+ fertility clinics, as well as European ART cycles survey data. Examines the sperm banks, egg donors, and fertility drugs markets, and surrogacy programs.

This study is believed to be one of the few in-depth publicly available business analyses that exists of this market. It’s ALL here in one place.

Report # FS34

$1,895, June 2008, 145 pages

Of a total population of 305 million Americans, 58% are estimated to experience insomnia symptoms or sleep disorders. Companies across America are trying to sell us a perfect night’s sleep with drugs/sleeping pills, premium mattresses, high tech pillows, white noise machines, aromatherapy, CPAP masks, books on insomnia, and more. And it has fast become a $23.7 billion a year industry.

As obesity rates climb and Americans age, more people are developing sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome and other sleep disorders. Plus, stressors from the economy, terrorism and longer workdays is resulting in more sleepless nights. Some claim that “sleep is the new sex—we need more of it and can’t get enough of it.” First launched in 1977, there are now 3,500 to 4,000 “sleep labs” in the United States. These labs perform sleep studies and help design treatment programs for insomniacs and those with sleep apnea and other conditions.

This groundbreaking new Marketdata study examines the “sleep” market and its components, covering markets for: anti-insomnia drugs (over-the-counter & prescription), sleep labs/sleep lefts, mattresses and pillows, CPAPs (continuous positive airway pressure devices) for sleep apnea, and retail sleep aids: earplugs, sleep lamps, sound conditioning machines, eye masks, books on sleep). Marketdata also performed primary research -- a custom mail survey of sleep labs in March-May, deriving key operating ratios, average revenues, and much more.

The U.S. Check Cashing, Money Transfer, Pawnshops and Payday Loan Services Industry

Report  # FS29

$1,795, June 2008, 143 pages, 66 Tables

This updated analysis by Marketdata examines the controversial but growing “alternative financial services” sector — a $27 billion business comprised of loosely regulated check cashing, payday loan, money transfer and payday loan services. These outlets serve 35% of the U.S. population. Many companies are happy to accept the business of consumers with spotty credit records who have been rejected by banks--the 12 million “unbanked” households that choose not to use traditional banks.

Explosive growth had taken place in the payday loan business, but they have come under heavy scrutiny. Critics say these services gouge consumers with high fees and interest rates, but they do provide more convenient hours, less red tape, easier credit, and most customers don’t seem to complain. There are 13,000 check cashing outlets, 11,000 pawn shops, 25,000 payday loan stores and 467,000+ money transfer agents competing for this business today. Many outlets/services overlap—providing multiple services at the same site. The study explores why growth at check cashers and pawn shops is meager, and the effects of the economic slowdown.

This new study by Marketdata examines the nature of the business, reasons for the growth of non-bank services, immigration trends, national receipts/growth from 1999-2007, 2008 to 2013 forecasts, average store revenues, customer demographics, key industry trends, federal/state industry regulation/fee caps, self-service check cashing machines, profit margins, franchising, gold prices, global remittance trends, consumer debt levels, reasons for the industry’s past negative image, and more. Findings of research studies by: Fannie Mae, Georgetown University, FISCA, Federal Reserve Board, brokerage analysts, Natl. Check Casher’s Assn., The World Bank, INS, Natl. Pawnbroker’s Assn., U.S. Census Bureau, FDIC, and more.

This study is believed to be one of the few in-depth publicly available business analyses that exists of this market. 13 in-depth company profiles (with 2005-2007 financials) are provided for: ACE Cash Express, Check Into Cash, Dollar Financial, Western Union, Moneygram, Ria Financial, Cash America, EZCORP, First Cash Financial, Advance America, Check Into Cash, CNG Financial, and QC Holdings.

$2,195, April 2010, 230 pages, 113 Tables & Charts

This best-selling Marketdata study is a comprehensive analysis of the fragmented but sizeable $57 billion U.S. clinical lab testing business. The industry was hurt by the recession but is poised for moderate growth to 2013, as the U.S. population ages and new tests are developed. Higher margin esoteric and anatomic pathology tests are pacing growth and the large chains have made a string of acquisitions in this space, to “buy” growth. International expansion could be the next growth frontier.

The study examines, in detail, recent industry trends and developments in the major test segments: PAP tests, workplace drug screening, and esoteric tests. An entire chapter is devoted to the high-growth $6.6 billion “esoteric” or reference test market—its size, growth, nature, profiles of all key competitors, with revenue rankings.

61 Tables & charts

This newly updated Marketdata study examines the $5.3 billion dental labs industry and the operations of the 12,000 labs operating in the U.S. These facilities provide a variety of products and services for dentists (crowns, bridges, dentures, implants, orthodontics, inlays, etc.). The industry is getting a boost from the cosmetic dentistry boom and aging Baby Boomers that are asking for more esthetic/appearance-enhancing products such as veneers.

The bulk of these labs are small, most grossing less than $500,000 in annual sales. The study analyzes: industry revenues for 1987-2008 forecast, 2002-2003 performance and recovery from the last recession, how labs operate and services performed, major industry issues and emerging trends, industry structure and evolution, current lab worker wages (by job function), and product fees.

Profiles are included for the top 6 multi-lab chains: National Dentex, Dental Service Group, Dental Technologies, Glidewell Labs, DaVinci Dental Studios, and Americus Dental Labs.

Research for the study was based on primary research involving custom Marketdata telephone surveys and extensive secondary sources from the industry’s leading trade associations (NADL), trade journals (Lab Management Today), consultants and special reports (Peter Stein report).

The business, which encompasses janitorial services, pest control, window cleaning, carpet/floor cleaning, parking lot maintenance, security, HVAC/facilities management and more, is very competitive, comprised of 734,000+ mainly small operators, including 40,000 franchised outlets. Competitors run the gamut from mom & pop cleaners, to giants such as ABM Industries with $2.4 billion in revenues and ServiceMaster with $877 in commercial maintenance sales. This study traces industry size, growth, segments, structure, end-user demand, and operating ratios — Receipts for 1987-2007 actual, 2008-2009 estimates, and 2013 forecasts.

Steady sales gains of 5-7% per year, and 10% in 2007 came to a halt in 2008-2009 with the recession, rising office building vacancy rates, and cutbacks in the frequency of cleaning by clients. Some customers even shifted to in-house cleaning. Low-ball prices, discounts and rebates have become the norm, hurting profits. Green cleaning and certification has become more important.

This is a complete analysis of: competitor market share, emerging trends, industry franchising, office building vacancy rates, impact of this recession, cleaning worker pay/turnover, outsourcing, more. Includes highlights of latest surveys by trade journals, as well as comments and outlooks by top competitors, trade groups and industry consultants. Separate in-depth chapters analyze the Carpet Cleaning and Residential/Maid Services segments. National, state and city ratios from Census Bureau surveys.

The U.S. Parking Garages Industry - The Only Analysis of This Industry Available!

(February 2008, 4th Edition)

Report # FS7

$1,595, February 2008, 161 pages

This $18.3 billion profitable but fragmented service industry has posted strong growth in 2005 and 2006, prior to the sub-prime real estate meltdown. However, this is NOT a recession-proof sector, as evidenced by the 5% decline in sales in 1990. Growth is likely to slow considerably this year. Demand for parking spaces is influenced by the price of gas (expected to hit $4/gal. by summer), white-collar employment levels, commercial vacancy rates in metro areas, and even weather.

2008 will be a challenge, as office vacancy rates began to rise for the first time in four years and commercial real estate now feels the ripple effects of the credit crunch. All of this is analyzed in detail by the only market study covering both the private and public parking lots and garages sector.

 The industry’s 40,000 facilities are divided into privately owned parking facilities and those in the “public” sector (at airports, municipal buildings, hospitals, colleges).  This 4th edition study covers: industry size (1987-2012 forecast, 2007-2008 performance and outlook), automated parking technologies, how garages are operated (contract types), latest Census data/industry ratios for private garages (national, state, city), factors affecting demand (parking garage construction, gas prices, the economy, commercial/office construction and vacancy rates). The study provides profiles of the leading chains (Standard Parking, Central Parking, AMPCO System Parking, Impark). Also includes findings of 2007 survey of NPA members/operating ratios of private facilities. Study contains 60+ tables & charts.

The U.S. Carpet Cleaning Industry (November 2011) - The Only Market Analysis Available!

Report # FS9

$1,695, November 2011, 164 pages, 80 Tables

This Marketdata Enterprises study is a 5th edition update and in-depth analysis of the $3.8 billion U.S. carpet & upholstery cleaning services sector. More than 40,000 mostly small companies are active in this mature and moderate growth business. Several large franchise organizations exist, but the top 9 franchise systems do not dominate—they are estimated to capture only 24% of industry receipts. The small independents may have actually held up better than the franchises during the recession. Carpet cleaners continue to diversify as consumers tightened their belts and the frequency of cleanings fell. At the same time, the share of total floor coverings by carpeting fell to an all-time low of 47%, as the housing market collapsed.

The study covers: industry revenues/growth from 1986-2015 forecast, impact of the recession, market segments (commercial, residential, disaster restoration), the market/competitors in carpet cleaning equipment, major trends and issues, factors affecting demand (residential construction activity, home environmental concerns, competing hard surface floor coverings), outlooks by consultants, trade groups and competitors, latest findings of trade journal surveys, and extensive operating ratios - national, state, and city, by company size, truckmount operations, industry profitability trends, etc.

Discussion of competition by large carpet mills, retailers, and the continued shift to alternative hard floor coverings (wood, tile, laminates) that reduce demand for carpeting. Rankings and in-depth profile and 2008-2010 revenues of all the top franchises and other competitors: Sears, Stanley Steemer, Chem-Dry, ServiceMaster Clean, ServPro, Duraclean, Heaven’s Best, Rainbow Intl., MilliCare Commercial Carpet Care, and Professional Carpet Systems.

U.S. Funeral Homes and Services Market - (A Marketing, Competitive & Operational Analysis)

Report t # FS13

$1,345, June 2003

110 pages

The $11.7 billion U.S. funeral homes industry is a mature, low-growth and fragmented business comprised of nearly 22,000 mostly independent services. The late 1990s saw a wave of consolidation as large chains bought up hundreds of independents, piling on huge debt in the process. This binge is over, failing miserably, and profit margins are falling. As the price of the average funeral climbs to $6,130, more people are opting for less costly cremations (27% of all services and rising steadily). This study is Marketdata’s 2nd edition investigation of the industry. It examines the industry’s nature and structure, major trends, marketing innovations, pricing/profit margins, funeral home operating ratios from the Census Bureau and trade groups, demographics/death rates, and industry receipts from 1985-2001 actual, 2002-2003 estimated, 2007 forecasts. Contains results of phone surveys with the leading trade associations, brokerage firm analysts, etc. In-depth profiles of: Service Corp., Alderwoods Group, Stewart Enterprises, and Carriage Services.

Service Businesses Ripe For Consolidation: The "Roll-up" Market

Report # FS5

$695, November 1998

300 pages

There are a variety of fragmented service sectors characterized by a common theme--strong growth, good profit margins, and an industry filled with thousands of small, inefficient, privately owned "mom and pop" companies. Also, few if any sizeable franchises or public companies exist. Opportunities exist for well-financed consolidators to "roll up" (buy out) such businesses and create new regional or national firms that centralize marketing, advertising, and administrative functions, frequently taking the firm public later on. This new Marketdata study examines this concept and those sectors most ripe for roll-up: debt collection agencies, coin laundries, commercial cleaning services, carpet cleaning services, animal hospitals, auto parking garages, auto body repair shops, dental labs, billiard parlors, funeral homes, and more. Each 30-60 page sector analysis covers: historical/forecast industry sales, profitability, industry structure/mkt. share, national & state operating ratios by size company, and a discussion of key trends/characteristics of the business.
