The
report breaks down the legacy TLDs (.com, .net and
.org), ccTLDs, new gTLDs, geo TLDs and City TLDs.
It dives into Crypto and NFT related domains, the
booming aftermarket, registrar and registry
results, plus special topics like blockchain, the
Brexit effect on domains and more. The information
is all presented in an attractive, easily
accessible chart-rich layout and is so voluminous
you have to marvel at how much work had to go into
getting it all done.
Hakan
Ali, CMO & CSO at InterNetX & Sedo,
noted "2021 was a sensational year
with 4 million domains registered and an increase
of 15% in domain sales. While the ongoing COVID-19
pandemic presented the global economy and people
worldwide with several challenges, the domain
industry continued to move forward without slowing
down, benefiting from the further push for
digitalization, embracing new trends and
opening doors to new applications."
Thomas Mörz, CEO at InterNetX, added,
“2021 was another outstanding year for the
domain industry. Our premium and market sales skyrocketed
by 173%. The ccTLD .de, one of the most
successful domain extensions worldwide, reached
the milestone of 17 million registered
domains. Meanwhile domain prices in the
aftermarket grew exponentially. The report
includes the chapter Central Facts & Figures,
which takes a look at the key data and facts
across all TLDs, while also laying the foundation
for a deep dive into the industry in the Deep
Insights chapter. We also take a look at
the aftermarket, with Michael Robrock, CEO
at Sedo.com, noting “the greater demand for
domains has led to an increase in domain prices,
especially for premium domains."
The
report's Focus Topics takes a closer
look at he rise of blockchain, NFTs and the
metaverse, a development that has generated
additional interest in domains as digital assets.
