The data discovery market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $18.28 billion in 2025 to $21.95 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of enterprise data volumes, adoption of business intelligence tools, need for faster decision making, expansion of structured data sources, demand for reporting automation.
The data discovery market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $45.72 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of AI driven analytics, growth of cloud based data platforms, rising need for real time insights, expansion of data driven enterprises, focus on democratizing data access. Major trends in the forecast period include self service data analytics, augmented analytics adoption, unified data visualization platforms, cross source data integration, interactive business intelligence dashboards.
The growing demand for cloud adoption is expected to drive growth in the data discovery market in the coming years. Cloud adoption refers to the process by which individuals, organizations, or businesses integrate and utilize cloud computing services and resources to enhance IT capabilities and achieve specific objectives. In data discovery, cloud adoption provides the infrastructure, scalability, and tools needed for efficient exploration, analysis, and visualization of data. For example, in January 2025, AAG IT Services, a UK-based non-government organization, reported that in 2022, 57% of SMB workloads and 56% of SMB data were hosted in public clouds, with an additional 6% expected to migrate within the next 12 months. By 2023, approximately 63% of SMB workloads and 62% of SMB data were projected to be cloud-hosted. Therefore, increasing cloud adoption is fueling growth in the data discovery market.
Key companies in the data discovery market are introducing new data discovery connectors to enhance market profitability. Data discovery connectors are tools designed to facilitate access to various data sources for effective data exploration. For instance, in June 2023, OneTrust, a Georgia-based trust intelligence company, launched new data discovery connectors. OneTrust expanded data discovery capabilities with connectors for over 200 sources, covering on-premises, cloud, structured, and unstructured data. The platform offers AI-driven classification, regulatory insights, and policy enforcement for automated data security and governance. It also integrates consent, preference, and privacy controls, enabling enterprises to maintain ethical data practices across the entire data lifecycle.
In November 2023, Exterro, a technology company based in the United States, acquired Divebell for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition positions Exterro to revolutionize how organizations identify, comprehend, and utilize their structured and unstructured data for various purposes, including e-discovery, enterprise digital forensics, data privacy compliance, data security, and breach response. Furthermore, the integration aims to tackle emerging challenges related to artificial intelligence, encompassing legislation and governance. Divebell, also a US-based technology company, specializes in data discovery solutions.
