VC or CVC analyst preparing an investment committee paper
Which narrow niches in a market are growing? A table for the committee
The narrow niches of a market ranked by their share of growing members, with a ready paragraph on what was measured.
You: Which narrow niches in HR and business software are growing? I need a table for the investment committee, with honest caveats.
search_cohorts6 nichesget_cohortdistributions ×2| Niche | Products with observed revenue | Growing | Leading country |
|---|---|---|---|
| Italian business software and IT services | 10–49 | 46% | Italy |
| ERP software vendors | 50–199 | 35% | United States |
| HR and payroll SaaS platforms | 50–199 | 28% | United States |
| Payroll software and services | 10–49 | 28% | United States |
Two of the six niches found are left out: Megido labelled them with low confidence.
Growth is not one-way: in Italian business software and IT services, 33% of members are declining at the same time, against 30% in ERP software vendors.
What was measured: growth is the change in visits over the latest month for sites where revenue has been observed, not funding or deals. Growth covers one month, which can be a spike, so close rows should not be ranked against each other.
