The Search Engine industry is highly concentrated, with three companies controlling almost the entire industry; the largest company, Alphabet Inc., has a market share greater than 96%. Search engines provide web portals that generate and maintain extensive databases of internet addresses. Industry companies generate most, if not all, of their revenue from advertising. Technological growth has resulted in more households being connected to the Internet and a boom in e-commerce has made the industry increasingly innovative. A climb in the proportion of households with internet access has supported revenue growth, while expanding technological integration with daily life has boosted demand for web search.

While continued growth in localised digital marketing and rising overall UK marketing budgets are set to propel industry revenues, Google faces mounting regulatory scrutiny. The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, with the impending Strategic Market Status designation for Google, is poised to shake up the landscape by curtailing Google’s market power and fostering greater transparency. Search engines will need to innovate to fend off rising competition from social media platforms, which are attracting advertisers through advanced targeting capabilities.

Nonetheless, technological advancements that incorporate user data are anticipated to make it easier to tailor advertisements and develop new ways of using consumer data. Industry revenue is forecast to jump at a compound annual rate of 5.9% over the five years through 2030-31, to reach £7.2 billion.
