Report on Infomediary Sector Characterization 2016

The National Observatory of Telecommunications and the Information Society (ONTSI) publishes annually the report on  the infomediary sector characterization which analyzes in detail the activities and influence of industry in the national socioeconomic sphere.

The fourth edition of this report collects data from 535 infomediary companies during 2015, all of them specialized in the development of products and services based on the re-use of public and/or private information. The necessary data for the elaboration of this study was collected through surveys to the different companies of the sector.

In this edition, as a novelty compared to previous years, the characterization study is accompanied by a document which lists eleven successful cases of infomediary companies in Spain. Thanks to both studies, it is possible to have a detailed image of the Spanish infomediary sector which encompasses both the volume of business, the jobs generated at national level, the origin of the re-used information, as well as the barriers and opportunities detected by the companies interviewed.
