The datafication market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $808.02 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing AI and ml adoption for predictive analytics, rising demand for real-time data insights, integration of edge computing and iot sensors, expansion of cloud-based datafication platforms, growing regulatory compliance and data governance requirements. Major trends in the forecast period include behavioral data analytics, social media data insights, geospatial data mapping and analysis, transactional data monitoring, sensor data integration and analytics.
The rising volume of data generation is expected to drive the growth of the datafication market in the coming years. Data generation refers to the creation or production of new data through various methods, including data collection from multiple sources, surveys, experiments, and data produced through algorithms and simulations. This increase is largely driven by the expanding influence of digital technologies and the growing interconnectedness of the global economy. Datafication supports data generation by converting different aspects of businesses, customers, and users into quantifiable, usable, and actionable data, thereby enabling the efficient collection, analysis, and application of large volumes of information. For example, in March 2024, according to Edge Delta, a US-based software company, global data production reached an estimated 120 zettabytes (ZB) in 2023, equivalent to approximately 337,080 petabytes (PB) per day. With around 5.35 billion internet users worldwide, this indicates that each user generates an average of about 15.87 terabytes (TB) of data per day. As a result, the increasing scale of data generation is contributing to the growth of the datafication market.
Major companies operating in the datafication market are focusing on the development of advanced solutions, such as business analytics enterprise software designed to eliminate data silos, in order to strengthen their competitive position. These software solutions help organizations integrate data from diverse sources, remove data silos, and enable faster, data-driven decision-making while navigating uncertain and rapidly changing business environments. For instance, in November 2023, International Business Machines Corporation (IBM), a US-based multinational technology company, launched IBM Business Analytics Enterprise, a software platform designed to break down data silos and streamline planning and analytics. The platform offers capabilities such as business intelligence and data integration, supported by advanced features including AI-powered planning and multidimensional analysis. Its relevance in the datafication market lies in enabling organizations to become more data-driven by providing unified access to analytics tools and reducing fragmentation across data and analytics environments, thereby supporting more efficient planning and informed decision-making.
In July 2025, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), a US-based technology company, acquired Juniper Networks for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, HPE aims to broaden its product portfolio and enhance its networking capabilities, particularly by strengthening its cloud-native, AI-driven, hybrid-cloud offerings to address rising demand in AI and data center networking markets. Juniper Networks Inc. is a US-based technology company that supports datafication by using AI-driven analytics to collect, analyze, and apply network data to improve performance and operational efficiency.
