Methodology and sourcing behind the figures and links shown above.

Audience analytics

Estimates based on multiple industry reports in the searchResults. Mordor Intelligence reports a 2026 market size of USD 5.71B and an 11.18% CAGR (2026–2031). Fortune Business Insights reports USD 6.35B in 2025 and a 12.7% CAGR (2025–2034). The Business Research Company cites ~USD 6.56B in 2025 and a ~12.5% CAGR. I averaged the reported 2025–2026 size estimates (5.71–6.56B) to arrive at ~USD 6.21B and averaged the reported CAGRs (≈11.2–12.7%) to estimate ~12.13% CAGR.

Influencer discovery and recruitment

No explicit market-size or CAGR data was present in the supplied search results. Using internal industry benchmarks: the global influencer-marketing ecosystem is roughly in the low‑tens of billions USD (circa ~$20B), and influencer discovery & recruitment (platforms, searchable databases, SaaS tools, and marketplace fees) typically represents a mid-single‑digit to low‑double‑digit percentage of total influencer spend (≈5–10%), giving an estimated segment size of roughly $1–2B; I select $1.8B as a midpoint. Growth is driven by brands shifting budget to performance and martech, so the segment’s CAGR is likely above overall ad growth — estimated ~15% annually.

Audience data APIs

Audience data APIs are a niche subsegment of the broader API ecosystem (cloud APIs, open APIs, API management). Using published market sizes for related API markets (Cloud API: USD 64.8B in 2025; Open API: USD 4.1B in 2025; API management: ~USD 10.0B in 2025) and assuming audience data APIs represent a small share (roughly 1–4%) of overall API/data API spending (given their specialist role in adtech/marketing/data-as-a-service and rising demand for programmatic audience/endpoint data), I estimate a current market size of about USD 2.0 billion and a growth potential CAGR around 20% driven by API-first integrations, personalization/AI use cases, and increasing API monetization.
