Data Historian Global Market Report 2025

The data historian market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.36 billion in 2024 to $1.51 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the rising complexity of manufacturing processes, expansion of SCADA and PLC implementations, increasing demand for operational efficiency, and heightened regulatory compliance requirements.

The data historian market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.24 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing adoption of IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things), rising emphasis on predictive maintenance, greater integration of real-time analytics, expansion of cloud-based data historian solutions, and growing use of AI and machine learning in operations. Major trends during this period include integration with advanced analytics platforms, a shift from on-premises to cloud-native architectures, expansion of edge computing capabilities, emphasis on data interoperability and standardization, and a focus on cybersecurity and data integrity.

The increasing industrial automation is expected to propel the growth of the data historian market going forward. Industrial automation refers to the use of control systems, such as computers and robots, to operate machinery and processes in manufacturing with minimal human intervention. Increasing industrial automation is driven by the demand for higher efficiency, labor cost reduction, and precision, as manufacturers seek to boost productivity, meet growing consumer expectations, and address labor shortages without compromising quality. A data historian stores detailed historical process data, allowing industrial automation systems to analyze past performance and identify opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and minimize downtime. For instance, in September 2024, according to the International Federation of Robotics, a Germany-based non-profit organization, China installed 276,288 industrial robots in 2023, accounting for 51% of the total global installations, marking the second-highest figure on record after 2022, which saw 290,144 units installed. Therefore, the increasing industrial automation is driving the growth of the data historian market.

Major companies operating in the data historian market are focusing on developing advanced solutions, such as software digitalization solutions, to improve contextual data capture, reporting accuracy, and digital transformation for batch-focused industries. A software digitalization solution converts traditional manual or analog processes into efficient digital workflows through the use of specialized software tools. For instance, in June 2024, Honeywell, a US-based industrial automation company, launched Honeywell Batch Historian, a software digitalization solution. It offers manufacturers easy access to contextualized historical data, enhancing reporting and analytics for more efficient and cost-effective operations. It enables direct data capture from batch engines without complicated setup or the need for advanced programming expertise. The solution uses an intuitive drag-and-drop configuration, removing the necessity for deep knowledge of historical databases to create reports. Serving industries such as specialty chemicals, life sciences, food and beverage, pulp and paper, and mining, it helps simplify batch reporting, accelerate troubleshooting, and ensure compliance with industry regulations.

In January 2023, Schneider Electric, a France-based industrial technology company, acquired AVEVA Solutions Limited for an undisclosed amount. Following the acquisition, AVEVA will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Schneider Electric. AVEVA will maintain its independence in business operations and continue investing in research and development to enhance its range of solutions. AVEVA Solutions Limited is a UK-based provider of data historian software and related services.

Major players in the data historian market are Yokogawa Electric Corp., AVEVA Group Plc, Hitachi Energy Ltd., Aspen Technology Inc., Siemens AG, International Business Machines Corporation, General Electric Company, Schneider Electric SE, Honeywell International Inc., ABB Ltd., Emerson Electric Co., Rockwell Automation Inc., PTC Inc., Kongsberg Digital AS, Inductive Automation LLC, Influxdata Inc., ICONICS Inc., TDengine, Canary Labs Inc., Open Automation Software LLC, and dataPARC.

North America was the largest region in the data historian market in 2024. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the forecast period. The regions covered in data historian report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East and Africa.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the information technology sector, particularly in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Higher duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have raised production and operational costs for tech firms, cloud service providers, and data centers. Companies relying on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are facing longer lead times and increased pricing pressures. In parallel, tariffs on specialized software tools and retaliatory measures from key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and reduced overseas demand for U.S.-developed technologies. To navigate these challenges, the sector is accelerating investments in domestic chip fabrication, diversifying supplier bases, and adopting AI-driven automation to enhance operational resilience and cost efficiency.

A data historian is a system that continuously records and stores time-stamped data generated by industrial equipment and control systems. It is designed to efficiently manage large volumes of data by organizing it to facilitate easy retrieval and analysis. The system captures data at regular intervals, ensuring accuracy and consistency over time.

The main categories of data historians include software and services. Data historian software captures, stores, and manages time-series data from industrial equipment, enabling monitoring, analysis, and reporting across different timeframes. These solutions are available in various deployment modes, including cloud-based and on-premises options, and serve both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as large enterprises. Applications of data historians include production tracking, performance management, environmental auditing, asset management, governance, risk and compliance (GRC) management, predictive maintenance, and more. Key end-user industries include oil and gas, manufacturing, data centers, metal and mining, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, and energy and utilities.
