This is a newsletter, which also answers a question that has surrounded our minds in the past few years - how much is the value of WordPress?
One of the criteria to determine whether an industry is worth doing is that there is a ceiling on the market size. The developers who do WordPress in China are generally not confident, because without mature market norms and user groups, it is difficult to obtain stable income. Without residual income, developers cannot be stimulated to continue innovation and new product research and development. Anyway, there is no process of positive circulation.
The following is the latest data of ecological research conducted by WP Engine, the leading WordPress hosting platform in foreign countries, in June 2021. The translation is as follows:
The current valuation of WordPress is $596.7 billion, which is expected to reach $635.5 billion (four trillion yuan) by the end of 2021.
According to our research, this research uses regression analysis to understand the correlation between the income of survey participants (including hosting service providers, plug-in and theme providers, agencies, infrastructure and other technology providers) from WordPress, The financial value of WordPress is estimated to be a staggering $59.67 billion, which is expected to reach $635.5 billion by the end of 2021.
To further illustrate these figures, the economic benefits driven by WordPress in 2021 are equivalent to the revenue generated by Apple App Store ($634 billion). If it is equivalent to the market value of a company, it will be on the list of companies calculated by market value (as of May 2020) - which is larger than Tesla, the world's most valuable automobile manufacturer, at $550.72B.
If WordPress were a country, its economy would rank 39th in the world according to the list of GDP countries of the International Monetary Fund.
Although the popularity of the new crown has caught many people unprepared, the incredible flexibility and agility of WordPress has provided a lifeline for many enterprises. Although many people and companies cooperating with WordPress have been affected by the global pandemic, most of them plan to invest in their business in 2021, and 42% of them plan to invest at a higher speed than in 2020. 50% of the network, it is clear that the investment in WordPress will bring dividends for many years to come.
