CentralNic Group is a global internet company that derives recurring revenue from privacy-safe, AI-based customer journeys that help online consumers make informed choices, as well as from the distribution of domain names.
CentralNic’s largest addressable market is online marketing, with global spending reaching US$616bn in 2022 and forecast to grow at a CAGR of 10% to 2027, according to Statista. While CentralNic currently has a small share of this market, its proprietary digital marketing capabilities and blue-chip partnerships offer the potential for rapid growth. However, further market consolidation may result in heightened competition from larger competitors, namely marketing technology companies such as The Trade Desk or AppLovin.
