For 2022, the most popular industry profile on the Vertical IQ industry research platform was dental practices, based on number of user visits. Vertical IQ can’t quantify the reasons for the high level of interest, but it’s interesting to speculate. Did more dentists retire and sell their practices? Were more dental practices caught up in a divorce and needed valuing? These same questions can be asked about the rest of the top 10 most-visited industry profiles: full-service restaurants, HVAC and plumbing contractors, physician practices, law firms, trucking companies, lessors of residential buildings, residential brokers and property managers, management consulting services, and auto repair shops. These industries are just a small fraction of the platform’s profiles that cover more than 570 distinct industries, representing more than 97% of the U.S. economy.
