I'm not sure that there is one "the" market.   While I like SFTP and 
personally use it more often that I do FTP, my sense is that each has 
established itself in different communities.   FTP use is still 
widespread.   For instance, broadcast TV equipment uses FTP 3rd party 
transfer capability to transfer large media files from video archives to 
video playout servers for airing.

(Of course part of FTP's acceptance might be due to FTP not requiring 
encryption.    I can't imagine that the broadcast TV industry would 
switch to SFTP because it would be so much slower.)
