Methodology

How the estimates were built: data sources, modelling approach and validation steps.

Research approach

A market size is a claim about the world, and a claim is only as good as the route to it. Every study is built upward from units and prices — what is actually produced, sold or performed, at what it actually changes hands for — rather than from a headline figure divided downwards. Disclosed company revenue is then used to check that build, not to produce it.

Market size estimation, this report

The estimate is built upward from the number of completed bookings across each service category, multiplied by the average price realized per booking type, drawing on platform commission-rate disclosures, app-store download and active-user data, and payment-processor transaction volumes tied to on-demand service merchants. Unit volumes are set at the country level for the countries carrying the largest share of bookings, then aggregated. That bottom-up build is checked against the disclosed platform revenue and take-rate figures reported by the publicly listed marketplace operators in this space. Where the two diverge, the correction is made to the underlying booking-volume or average-price assumption feeding the bottom-up build, not by averaging the two figures together.

The four stages

The same sequence runs behind every published study, whatever the industry. The order matters as much as the steps: the segment axes are fixed before any number is collected, so the model is never reshaped to fit whatever data happens to turn up.

What the build rests on, and what checks it

The two are not interchangeable. The left column produces the number; the right column tests it. When the check disagrees with the build, the answer is to find which bottom-up assumption is wrong — a unit count, a price, a take-up rate — not to split the difference between them.

The bottom-up build rests on
  • Volume actually transacted — units produced, installed, dispensed or procedures performed, counted at the level each is genuinely recorded
  • Realised pricing by tier and channel, rather than one blended average applied across the whole market
  • Take-up and frequency: how much of the addressable base buys, and how often it repeats
The build is checked against
  • Disclosed revenue of the companies serving the market, where filings separate it far enough to be usable
  • Buyer-side spending totals — capital budgets, procurement lines, or the output of the end market the product is bought against
  • Trade and customs flows, where the product crosses borders in a separately recorded form

Data sources

Published data establishes what happened. Only the people transacting in a market can say why, and what is about to change — so the two are collected separately and weighted differently.

Primary — who is interviewed
  • Commercial and product leadership at the companies that supply the market
  • Procurement and specification leads at the organisations that buy it
  • Distributors, integrators and channel partners, where the market is served indirectly
  • Regulatory and standards specialists, where approval governs what can be sold at all
Secondary — what is read
  • Company filings, annual reports and investor disclosure
  • Government statistics, customs records and regulatory registers
  • Trade association output and standards-body publications
  • Technical and peer-reviewed literature, where the market rests on a clinical or engineering claim
Primary research design, this report

Interviews target platform operations and marketplace strategy leads at on-demand service companies, category managers who set pricing and provider commission structures, and payment and app-platform partnership contacts who see transaction volume across multiple marketplaces. Regional service-provider network managers are also included, since they set local provider onboarding and pricing policy market by market. Sampling weights toward the United States and the larger Asia Pacific and European markets, where booking volume is highest and platform disclosures are most detailed, with a smaller number of interviews covering Latin America and the Middle East and Africa to confirm the provider-network and pricing patterns observed in the larger markets also hold in smaller ones.

Secondary sources, this report

Desk research draws on app-store ranking and download-estimate services for the leading platforms in each category, payment-processor merchant-category reporting for on-demand services, and the public filings and investor materials of the listed marketplace operators named in this report. National statistical agency data on household services spending and gig-economy labor-force participation is used to size the addressable base of bookings by country. Telecom regulator data on smartphone and mobile-data penetration by country supports the platform and cellular-access segmentation. Trade-association survey data from on-demand and gig-economy industry groups is used to cross-check category-level booking-frequency assumptions against what platforms themselves report.

Desk research runs across proprietary research databases including Factiva, OneSource and Hoovers alongside the public sources above. Modelling and statistical validation are run in SAS and SPSS.

Forecasting

The forecast is not a growth rate applied to a base year. It is built from the drivers that are expected to change, each one stated so a reader can disagree with it.

Forecast approach, this report

The forecast is built from country-level smartphone and mobile-data penetration curves, projected growth in dual-income urban households, and the pace at which verified-provider networks are expected to extend into smaller cities beyond the metro areas platforms already cover. Pricing is held to a gradual increase in average booking value as subscription and membership options gain share over pay-per-booking pricing. The forecast normalizes for the unusually high booking growth some platforms recorded during periods of reduced in-person service availability, treating that period as a temporary demand shift, not a new baseline. The forecast holds only if regulatory treatment of gig-economy providers does not materially raise platform operating costs in the largest markets.

Triangulation and validation

No figure enters a report on the strength of one source. Where the two sizing routes disagree the difference is not averaged away — the assumption causing it is isolated, tested against a third independent measure, and either corrected or carried forward as a stated limitation. Historical years are back-tested against the growth actually recorded before any forecast is allowed to run forward from them.

Validation, this report

Historical output is back-tested against recorded year-on-year booking and revenue growth reported by the largest listed marketplace operators for 2020 through 2024, and the segment mix is reviewed against category-level growth reported in platform investor materials. Segment-share shifts, particularly the move toward healthcare and beauty bookings, were reviewed with category managers to confirm they reflect genuine demand change and not a reporting reclassification. Sensitivities were tested on the smartphone-penetration assumption and on the pace of provider-network expansion into smaller cities, since both feed directly into the volume side of the bottom-up build. Regional splits were checked against payment-processor transaction geography to confirm no single country's volume is overstated relative to its share of processed transactions.

Confidence and limitations

Where an estimate is firm and where it is not is stated rather than left to be inferred from the precision of the number.

Confidence framing, this report

Confidence is firmest for the United States, the United Kingdom and the larger Asia Pacific markets, where listed-operator disclosures and payment-processor data give a direct read on booking volume and pricing. It is thinner for the Middle East and Africa and for several Latin American markets, where provider networks are less formalized and booking data is not consistently reported. The by-use segmentation carries stronger data support for food, retail and beauty bookings than for carpentry and home-welfare categories, where informal, off-platform bookings likely go undercounted. A material change in gig-worker classification rules in a major market is the clearest risk that would force a revision.
