Forge measures none of this. A statistical body publishes the history and its own outlook; Forge copies the figures with the sentence each came from and refreshes once a year, when the publishers do. A growing market says you are not building into a headwind — it says nothing about whether this application has customers.

| 2022 | $648.8 bn | history | 2024 | 2022: 648,805As the read noted: Same series as above (SAS-derived, republished via FRED). This is the Census Bureau's most recent Service Annual Survey release for NAICS 5415; the SAS was discontinued after the 2022 reference year and rolled into the new Annual Integrated Economic Survey / Annual Capital Expenditures Survey, so no SAS figures exist for 2023 onward or any SAS-based projection beyond 2026. source |
