Growth Rates by Industry

“Over the past few years, there’s been a lot of talk about subscription companies. Today, Zuora, a company that powers subscription-based businesses, which we wrote about in the magazine last year, launched an index to track what its CEO Tien Tzuo calls ‘the Subscription Economy.’”

- Forbes

“Because Zuora is a company that collects a great deal of data, Tzuo is able to say with confidence that 70 percent of customer growth was attributable to expanding footprints (upsells, cross-sells, renewals) rather than to the addition of net new customers. Zuora anonymizes customer data to derive such insights, which it publishes as the Subscription Economy Index, or SEI.”
