The increasing internet penetration is expected to drive the growth of the vector index lifecycle management market going forward. Internet penetration refers to the share of people in a particular area or country who have access to and actively use the internet. It is rising due to the rapid expansion of affordable mobile networks, making internet access more accessible to people in rural and remote areas. Internet penetration supports vector index lifecycle management by enabling continuous data connectivity, allowing real-time updates, synchronization, and optimization of vector indexes across distributed systems. For instance, in December 2024, according to Ofcom, a UK-based government body, 63% of SMEs in the UK were connected to a full-fibre network by July 2024, marking a 12% rise compared to September 2023. Therefore, the increasing internet penetration is supporting the growth of the vector index lifecycle management market.

Key companies in the vector index lifecycle management market are focusing on developing lakehouse-native vector embeddings to enable faster, cost-effective, and scalable management of vector data while supporting real-time AI applications and seamless integration with operational vector databases. Lakehouse-native vector embeddings are vectors stored and managed directly in a data lakehouse, enabling scalable, cost-effective, real-time AI analytics. For instance, in August 2024, Onehouse, a US-based company specializing in cloud-native, fully managed universal data lakehouse, launched its vector embeddings generator as part of its managed ELT cloud service. The platform automates embedding pipelines by continuously ingesting data from streams, databases, and cloud storage, sending it to foundation models such as OpenAI and Voyage AI, and storing the resulting vectors in optimized lakehouse tables. It leverages the lakehouse’s features, such as incremental updates, concurrency control, late-arriving data handling, and scalable storage, while integrating with vector databases for high-scale, low-latency serving. By centralizing embeddings and moving only hot vectors to operational stores, Onehouse delivers a cost-efficient, scalable, and high-performance architecture. This solution supports large-scale AI applications, including NLP, content generation, and intelligent search.

In June 2024, OpenAI, a US-based AI research and deployment company, acquired Rockset for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, OpenAI aims to strengthen its data infrastructure capabilities and enhance the efficiency of its AI models by integrating Rockset’s real-time analytics and vector search technology. This integration allows OpenAI to improve data retrieval performance for large-scale AI workloads, enabling faster and more accurate responses within its products and services. Rockset is a US-based company specializing in vector index lifecycle management.

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.
