Summary: the demand generation market will continue to grow in 2010, and it may attract some new, big competitors from outside the industry. What will 2010 bring? It's just a matter of time before CRM vendors (yes, I mean Salesforce.com ) and Web content management vendors decide to compete seriously for marketing automation business.

Now that I’m more or less finished launching the B2B Marketing Automation Vendor Selection Tool (VEST) , I can start catching up on the other topics. What’s missing from the list is CRM integration. That's no accident: ClickDimensions doesn’t integrate with CRM in the regular sense of synchronizing data. But I digress.

Summary: Here are my estimates for the size of the B2B marketing automation industry, broken down by customer segments. I've been working madly on my new report on B2B marketing automation vendors. These methods all yield similar figures -- around a $200 million in revenue for 2010. Services are also excluded.

The stock had been hovering around $17.50

As I mentioned yesterday, our new B2B Marketing Automation Vendor Selection Tool (VEST) asks vendors to estimate the number of clients in each of four size categories. This represents a 50% growth over my estimate for 2010. But not all of these are B2B marketers. This provides an interesting overview of the industry.

When this blog last left Geoff Rego in 2010 , he had just sold the assets of pioneering B2B marketing automation vendor Market2Lead to Oracle. The system can integrate with other CRM vendors through batch file transfers. All told, I think Hushly is a pretty clever idea.

I’ve previously reviewed Genoo , which supplements the standard marketing automation features with Web hosting and built-in CRM but no shopping cart. It greatly expanded its features in 2010 and now offers a marketing automation system starting at $500 per month. The system currently has more than 150 clients.
