Methodology and sourcing behind the figures shown above.

Web templating engines

Used the provided web development market figures (Mordor Intelligence: $87.75B market in 2026, 8.87% CAGR) as an upper‑level proxy. Templating engines are a small, mostly open‑source tooling subset of web development; assuming they represent roughly 1–1.5% of web development services revenue (low monetization, widespread usage in themes, CMS, server rendering), yields an estimated market of ~USD 1.3B. Growth is estimated below the overall web development CAGR due to maturity and widespread free adoption, but supported by steady demand (JAMstack, SSR, CMS), giving an estimated CAGR ~6.5%.

Website builder

Search results show broad adoption and product investment across major website-builder vendors (Elementor, Shopify, WordPress ecosystems) and strong ecommerce/SME digital adoption, but do not provide explicit market-size or CAGR figures. Using those signals (widespread platform usage, Shopify references to ecommerce growth and AI enablement, WordPress market-share discussion) plus internal industry knowledge of the global SaaS website-builder and no-code web-creation market (subscription revenues, premium plugins/themes, managed hosting and enterprise offerings), I estimate the addressable website-builder market at roughly $6.5 billion annually with ~12% CAGR driven by continued SME digitization, ecommerce growth, and AI/no-code adoption.

Macro-based template composition

No explicit market-size or CAGR figures for “macro-based template composition” appeared in the provided search results (they contain general market‑sizing templates and frameworks). I estimated this segment as a small niche within the broader web/developer tools and UI component ecosystem. Rationale: global developer tooling and front-end framework markets are multi‑billion-dollar markets; a focused subsegment (templating engines, reusable macro/component template platforms, enterprise template toolkits and marketplaces) is likely a small fraction of that (low single‑digit percent). Ongoing drivers: componentization, microfrontends, low‑code/acceleration needs, and enterprise reuse of UI fragments support mid-to-high single‑digit to low‑double‑digit CAGR; I selected a 10% CAGR to reflect moderate rapid adoption but limited addressable revenue compared with core developer platforms. Estimate uncertainty is high due to lack of direct data in provided results.
