A tour through
Informa

Informa connects people with knowledge in many different ways.

We run large events around the world where businesses and professionals can meet face-to-face, learn and do business. We also publish new research, intelligence and insights on various markets, and create tools that help companies find new customers.

2025 was a strong year for Informa.

We made more than £4 billion for the first time, growing from the year before.

Our biggest brands continued to grow. For example, CPHI, which brings together the global pharmaceutical industry through a series of live events in different parts of the world, found new ways to expand and improve the overall event experience.

Our research publishing business Taylor & Francis had a successful year, and our digital services business Informa TechTarget started to turn around its performance.

We continued to invest in technology and artificial intelligence.

We expanded Lead Insights, a tool that helps businesses understand who they meet at our events, and makes it easy for them to follow up with them afterwards.

We also launched our AI system, Elysia, across the company. Elysia helps our teams work faster, build better products and use information in new ways.

Overall, we continued to support millions of businesses and professionals working in important markets and sectors all around the world.

Informa is home to market-leading brands that connect people, knowledge and ideas, all over the world. We deliver major live events for businesses and professionals, publish specialist research and intelligence, and connect buyers and sellers digitally.

2025 was a very strong year for the company.

Financially, we exceeded our ambitions. Our revenues passed £4bn for the first time, an increase of 14% on a reported basis from 2024.

Our major B2B brands grew strongly. Every year, brands such as CPHI – which serves the Pharmaceutical market through 10 annual events, an online marketplace, data and digital content – find new ways to expand and improve the experience and value they deliver.

Our open access research business, which we have significantly invested in over the last ten years, grew at double digits. And our digital services business, Informa TechTarget, saw its performance improve during the year.

Our investments in technology, AI and product development continued to bring benefits for customers and colleagues.

We introduced Lead Insights, our proprietary lead reporting and analytics platform, to more customers and developed it further.

We also fully launched our Elysia AI capability across the company. Elysia is speeding up our product development, transforming our workflows, allowing us to use our first-party data in new ways, helping us to create new products and bring more advanced functionality to our current brands, and freeing up colleagues’ time.

In all, we continued to champion millions of businesses and professionals around the world and kept our focus on building leading international brands and platforms that serve specialist markets.

Informa is a leader in business-to-business live events, academic research publishing and data-driven digital lead generation services.

We operate internationally through over 800 brands. We’ve chosen to operate in a series of specialist end or customer markets, and our focus is on championing the specialists operating in those markets by connecting people, knowledge and ideas.

Informa delivered another very strong financial performance in 2025, alongside continuing product innovation and investments in technology and AI.

Financial performance

In 2025, our revenues surpassed £4 billion for the first time, reaching £4,041.4m. This represents a 13.7% year-on-year increase on a reported basis and a 6.3% increase on an underlying basis, and exceeded the FX-adjusted ambitions set at the start of the year. Around 45% of our revenue came from North America.

Operating highlights

Our B2B Live Events businesses delivered strong growth of 13.8% on a reported basis and 9.5% on an underlying basis.

Our open access research business within Taylor & Francis, a focus of sustained investment over the past decade as a higher-growth segment, achieved double-digit growth.

It was the first and foundation year for Informa TechTarget, the company’s digital services business, formed at the end of 2024 through combining the digital businesses within Informa Tech with Nasdaq-listed TechTarget. Here, our operating performance gradually improved as the year progressed.

Product, AI and technology investments

We continuously invest in product development and innovation to deliver more valuable and relevant offerings to our customers. This remained the case in 2025, with an additional significant focus on AI and the opportunities it presents to develop products faster, create new products and make workflows more effective.

For example, our proprietary lead reporting and analytics platform, Lead Insights, was introduced across more brands and markets and to more customers, with enhancements made to drive increased value for customers. We launched Elysia, Informa’s AI platform, at scale in 2025. Elysia draws on a selection of leading AI models. Its power is in its combination with our unique data sets – including the first-party data held in our IIRIS platform – and our specialist content.

Outlook and focus

Our focus is on continuing to deliver compounding growth, including through serving our customers in ever more relevant and valuable ways, making the most out of the platform we’ve built over the last decade, and making the most of the opportunities of AI. Specifically, our ambition is to deliver at least 5% underlying revenue growth as a Group going forward.

We have the key ingredients of leading brands operating in growing markets, a scale, international platform, strong partnerships, a well-diversified and resilient portfolio, attractive financial characteristics, and strong talent who work in a culture that prizes agility.
