Sedo and InterNetX have released their incredibly comprehensive 2023 Global Domain Report. This annual review has always provided an unparalleled look at how the domain industry is faring in every key market around the world but the 74-page report for 2023 has still managed to set a new standard. The especially good news, given the amount of work that obviously went into producing it, is that the report is available free of charge. Just go to domainreport.global, fill in your name, your company name, email address, business type and job role to download. 

The report, that includes commentary from industry pros around the world, breaks down the latest data and developments both

globally and within local markets on every continent.  You will also see how the experts expect the new year to play out. 

Even though there are now over 1,500 TLDs on the Internet, the report manages to distill the latest information in a way that gives you a clear picture of which ones have become the most popular TLDs (covering both gTLDs and ccTLDs). In the aftermarket chapter you'll also find Top 10 lists of public domain sales, median and average values, insight into the performance of the sales channels, and a closer look at rising stars such as .xyz, .io and .ai.

While the annual report is obviously of great interest to players inside the industry, the main reason Sedo and InterNetX put  it together is to draw attention to domains from people who are outside of the industry, as they are the ones who will fuel continued growth. By laying out the details of how well domains have performed in challenging economic times, the report shows domains are stable assets that can provide consistently good returns to those who wisely invest in them.
