Marketdata Enterprises

What Marketdata Enterprises does

Marketdata Enterprises is a privately held market research publishing and consulting firm founded in 1979 and headquartered in Tampa, Florida. It specializes in coverage of U.S. service-sector and healthcare markets — niches such as weight management (including GLP-1 drugs), autism treatment, meditation, and meal replacements — where reliable syndicated data has historically been scarce. The firm sells individual market research reports, performs custom consulting studies, and offers business coaching to a client base that includes Fortune 1000 firms, financial institutions, startups, government agencies, investors, advertising agencies, and consulting firms; its analysts have been cited by outlets such as the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Forbes, CNN, and Kiplinger.

The product set is human-authored rather than technology-platform based: each report is a discrete deliverable priced between $69 and $1,495, delivered with a free companion PowerPoint presentation (since 2023). Underlying research is conducted by a small team led by founder and President John LaRosa (MBA, Hofstra, 1979), who has authored more than 100 studies over the firm's 44+ year history. No proprietary software, data platform, or AI/ML technology stack is described in the public materials.

Revenue mechanics rely on three streams: (1) direct and aggregator-distributed report sales (resold via MarketResearch.com, Global Information Inc., ResearchandMarkets, Profound, and MarketsandMarkets), (2) custom consulting engagements billed at $100-$125 per hour (typical projects $3,000-$4,000), and (3) business coaching at $199 per hour, supplemented by paid speaking engagements and content writing. The operating footprint remains that of a small independent publisher — 1 to 10 employees, no outside funding, and no disclosed plans for platform or headcount expansion.

Expansion highlights3 records

Direct peers

• IBISWorld: IBISWorld is a leading publisher of industry research reports covering thousands of US and global industries. Like Marketdata, it specializes in off-the-shelf industry and market research sold to enterprises, investors, and consultants, but at much larger scale across far broader industry coverage.
• Packaged Facts: Packaged Facts publishes market research on consumer packaged goods, food and beverage, and related service sectors in the US. It is one of the closest direct competitors to Marketdata in terms of niche consumer-services and healthcare market research sold via syndicated reports.
• Freedonia Group: Freedonia Group produces off-the-shelf industry market research with strong coverage of US service and consumer sectors. Comparable to Marketdata in its syndicated report distribution model and customer base of enterprises, investors, and consultants.

Emerging players

• MarketResearch.com: MarketResearch.com is both a direct competitor in syndicated research distribution and an important distribution channel partner for Marketdata's reports. Overlap is partial: it aggregates many publishers' research but also publishes some first-party content, blurring the line between partner and peer.
• Research and Markets: Research and Markets is a global aggregator and distributor of market research from hundreds of publishers, including Marketdata's own reports. Functions partly as a peer (in-house research publishing) and partly as a key distribution partner for Marketdata.
• Kentley Insights: Kentley Insights publishes off-the-shelf US industry market research with a focus on service and niche sectors, competing with Marketdata in the same low-to-mid price tier of syndicated industry reports sold directly to enterprise customers.
• The Insight Partners: The Insight Partners is a research publisher specializing in technology, healthcare, and consumer service market reports sold through syndicated distribution. Comparable to Marketdata in business model (off-the-shelf reports to enterprise) and partially overlapping coverage of healthcare and service sectors.

Broad incumbents

• Frost & Sullivan: Frost & Sullivan is a large global research and consulting firm with broad coverage spanning industries, technology, and healthcare. While much larger than Marketdata, it competes for the same enterprise consulting and custom research budgets in healthcare and service sectors.
• Euromonitor International: Euromonitor is a global market research firm covering consumer markets, service industries, and many of the same verticals Marketdata addresses (weight management, personal services). It is significantly larger but competes for similar enterprise and investment-research buyers.
• Mintel: Mintel publishes consumer market research with strong coverage of health, wellness, and self-improvement categories that overlap with Marketdata's weight loss and personal growth franchises. Operates at a much larger scale with subscription data products.
