The domain registration market (annual registration fees for domain registration) for Generic Top Level Domains (gTLDs) and Country Code Top Level Domains (ccTLDs) will grow from US$3.1billion in 2007 to US$5.3billion in 2011 (three-year CAGR of 13.6% from 2008), however market growth will soften as global economies falter.

Growth will be relatively strong in all geographic markets, although the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India & China) and other emerging economies will become increasingly important drivers as the internet penetration increases and importance of online advertising grows in these markets.
