2023 Subscription Economy Outlook
This webinar dives into the latest edition of the Subscription Economy Index, reflecting the growth metrics of hundreds of companies across the world, including trends in SaaS, Media and Manufacturing.
The Subscription Economy Index™ vs S&P 500 & U.S. Retail Sales
In 2022, the world economy was characterized by uncertainty and concerns about inflation, supply chain disruptions, and a potential global economic slowdown due to geopolitical tensions and the continued threat of COVID-19 variants. Recurring revenue business models have historically provided stability during these turbulent times. Over the past 11 years, subscription-based companies in the SEI have grown 3.7x faster than the companies in the S&P 500, which have historically represented more traditional, product-based businesses. Specifically, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for SEI companies was 17%, compared to 4.6% for S&P 500 over the same period.
SaaS Sector Growth
SaaS continues to be the fastest-growing sector in the SEI, with both business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) SaaS driving growth.Media Sector Growth
In the past year, media subscription momentum (both in the SEI and beyond) suggests that even after 2020 shelter-in-place orders were lifted, many consumers maintained their new media subscriptions.
