The LCH annual report for 2011 (PDF here) shows that the majority of the revenue increase in revenue was from OTC products (SwapClear), a jump from €21.2m to €44.2m. This is explained by two factors, an increase in membership fee levels, and the growth in membership overall.

CDSClear

The following comment indicates a new growth path:

“Once regulatory approvals have been given, the service will be accessible in multiple jurisdictions, with a legal framework which is compatible with French, UK and US law.” – at which point ICE may have new competition?

FXClear

Again, plans being laid for the future:

Whilst other FX products are mandated under Dodd Frank, in particular FX options, discussions around the model to be used by CCPs to settle within CLS are ongoing and not likely to finish until Q3 2012. Thus whilst LCH.Clearnet has developed clearing services for Options, FX Swaps and Forwards, it is unlikely that these will be approved until the settlement model agreed is implemented, sometime in early 2013.
