Dating Industry Market Size

by David Evans on December 5, 2008 in Dating Research

I am working on an online dating industry report and am looking for stats and numbers regarding the size of the US dating market. I’m in data-gathering mode and would appreciate it if you would contact me if you have information to share. I’m fine with keeping sources confidential and if you share with me, I’ll share what I learn with you.

Comscore and others have produced wildly varying predictions. I have some of the data but at this point I’d like to review whatever I can get my hands on.

General consensus is that the online dating market flattened out in 2005-2006 in the US and the majority of growth is happening overseas as major US dating sites move into EU and Asia through acquisitions and expansion. I’m looking for the numbers to back this up, or refute it, or tells another story entirely. Other factoids that would make interesting reading are welcome as well.

    Valuable info is fully available:
    from IAC (Match & Chemistry)
    from Spark Networks (JDate, Hurrydate and 29 more sites)
    from Meetic/Ulteem

    Other info could be estimated for eHarmony, PerfectMatch, Parship, Be2 and others.

    The US online dating market remains enormous. It needs a revolution, A Big Earthquake.

    I personally estimate the “unexploited” Latin American market over USD100 million.
