Use can use the regexp_replace() function to insert each a space before each upper case letter. (See demo)
update markets
set market = ltrim(regexp_replace(market, '([A-Z])', ' \1', 'g'));
Caution: As presented this Updates every occurrence of an upper case letter inserting a space before it. The ltrim
removes the space inserted at the beginning of the column. Any uppercase letter preceded by a space creates a double space. Make sure you validate result.

You can run a series of SQL updates since there aren't many changes. For example
UPDATE your_table set market="Social Media Advertising" where market="SocialMediaAdvertising";
UPDATE your_table set market="Social Investing" where market="SocialInvesting";
UPDATE your_table set market="Financial Exchanges" where market="FinancialExchanges";
UPDATE your_table set market="Cloud Magement" where market="CloudMagement";
UPDATE your_table set market="Venture Capital" where market="VentureCapital";
Cautions:
Be sure to replace your_table
with the actual name of the table you want to update, for each SQL statement.
You might have a typo with "Magement", but I'm not sure
