Current Challenges in Web Scraping Services Market

Some of the current key challenges faced by the web scraping services market
are:



1. Legality issues: Web scraping is not considered illegal in itself. However,
sometimes web scraping activity can result in denial-of-service attacks on
websites causing server overloads. Excessive scraping can also be seen as a
violation of website terms and privacy policies.



2. Compliance with robots.txt: While scraping, services need to comply with
robots.txt protocols set by websites which specify allowed/restricted pages for
scraping. Not following these protocols can result in legal issues.



3. Dynamic content handling: Websites have dynamically changing content posing
challenges to accurately scrape time-sensitive data. Services require strong
capabilities to handle JavaScript renderings and AJAX/XHR requests for complete
data capture.



4. Proxy & IP detection: Use of multiple IP addresses/proxies for
large-scale scraping can be detected easily. Services need sophisticated
methods to circumvent IP blocking while staying undetected.



5. Data extraction & cleaning: Precise extraction of structured data from
complex unstructured web pages and subsequent cleaning is a technically
challenging task requiring machine learning models.



SWOT Analysis

Strengths: Ability to automate repetitive data collection tasks from websites
at a large scale. Provides cost-effective alternative to manual data entry.



Weaknesses: Reliant on target websites remaining static. Legal and technical
issues around excessive scraping and circumventing detection.



Opportunities: Growing demand from verticals like market research, price
monitoring, competitor analysis. Advances in ML/AI improving data extraction
quality.



Threats: Stricter regulations around web scraping. Websites enhancing bot
detection capabilities. Piracy of commercially valuable data.
