Interesting overview of the state of the industry

Offers insights into prices, volume, .Com vs. ccTLD sales and more.

It's a quick read since the ratio of charts or graphs to verbiage is high, i.e., lots of graphical data.

Given the total sales volume and the 11,500,000 domains listed it appears the turnover is about .33% or 1/3 of 1 percent OR 1 in about 300 domains in inventory selling.

1 in 300 selling suggests that speculators need to be a bit more discriminating IF they are registering domains for resale. Also might mean many are not "right pricing" their inventory.

.Com is still dominant. .DE and .CO.UK are still the prime ccTLD contenders.

That's a nice overview, I've definitely seen more cctld stuff selling recently. I wouldn't be surprised if this year shows significant growth in cctld sales.

Also might mean many are not "right pricing" their inventory.

It could be foreshadowing a pricing correction across the industry. Given 'corrections' that have been occurring across the national and global economy of late, this wouldn't be out of keeping with current trends.
