Currently there are 40, or so, restroom advertising companies operating in the U.S and Canada. A majority of them, along with the largest operators, belong to the Indoor Billboard Advertising Association (IBAA)—a non-profit trade organization for the industry started in 1998. Of the 30+ IBAA-accredited restroom advertising companies, the bigger players are those that operate in multiple markets and usually the major markets—the ‘top twenty’ or ‘top fifty’ according to Arbitron. The remainder of the companies are single-market operators or companies that operate in a cluster of markets—usually surrounding a ‘home market’.
