Fascinating stats in this year’s Global Domain Report.
Domain name marketplace Sedo and registrar InternetX have published the 2025 Global Domain Report.
The report looks at both the primary and secondary markets for domain names. It uses data from dozens of sources, augmented by a survey the companies sent to domain industry participants.
Here are some tidbits I found interesting.
- 69% of sales at Sedo last year were Buy Now sales. 11% were Make Offer and 10% sold at auction.
- 45% of Sedo’s sales come from partner websites through SedoMLS.
- The median sale price at Sedo was $549.
- 59% of Sedo’s sales were .com. The next highest was Germany’s .de country code domain at 13% (Sedo is based in Germany). .Org and .net came in third at 4%, although Sedo said .org increased in value and sales volume last year while .net fell.
- .Ai aftermarket sales are booming, and .io is falling. Sedo thinks this is a causal relationship.
- By unit volume, .art, .click and help are InterNetX’s top-selling premium domains.
- In the aftermarket, .online, .xyz and .shop traded the most frequently among new top level domains.
- Survey respondents were asked why they transfer domains: 71% said for better pricing, 33% support, 31% features, and 25% security.
