How Did 2021 Compare to 2020?

2021 will go down as one of the most notable years in the domain name industry, with many domain investors, brokers, and related companies having exceptionally good years. Publicly-disclosed domain sales data is usually a good indicator of the state of the industry, so how did the industry fare in 2021 and how did that compare with 2020?

Raymond Hackney has produced a chart with the help of NameBio to compare 2021 with 2020. According to the chart, NameBio recorded over 128,000 .com domain sales in 2021, while there were also breakout years for .IO and .XYZ. Bob Hawkes also produced an analysis of 2021 domain name sales on the NamePros Blog.
