Big Data as a Service Market Expected to Reach $61.42 Billion by 2026

According to a recent report published by Allied Market Research, titled, "Big Data as a Service Market by Solution Type, Deployment Model, Organization Size, and Industry Vertical: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2018–2026," the global big data as a service market was valued at $4.99 billion in 2018, and is projected to reach $61.42 billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of 36.9% from 2019 to 2026.

Massive growth of big data across the globe, rise in demand for real-time data analytics, government initiatives supporting big data infrastructure, and upsurge in the adoption of predictive modeling tools are driving the market growth for big data as a service industry. However, security and privacy threats and lack of big data IT skills hampers the growth of the market. Furthermore, huge investment in IT sectors by the businesses is anticipated to create major opportunities for the market.

By solution type, the data analytics-as-a-service segment garnered major big data as a service market share in 2018 and is expected to remain dominant during the forecast period. The growth of this segment is mainly attributed to major shift toward the cloud-based services mainly to reduce the cost of building, running, and protecting applications. Also, the data analytics-as-a-service segment is expanding at a higher pace, due to factors such as increase in adoption of social media applications along with continuous rise in demand for advanced technologies to process high workload through cloud. However, the Hadoop-as-a-service segment is expected to witness highest growth rate in the upcoming years.

Based on deployment type, the public cloud segment dominated the global big data as a service market share in 2018 and is expected to generate highest revenue during the forecast period due to its ability to help users to easily store and manage large and varied datasets at low costs, which is driving the growth of the market. However, the hybrid cloud segment is expected to witness highest growth rate in the upcoming years. The growth of this segment is mainly attributed to increase in demand for hybrid cloud across various end-user industries due to its numerous benefits such as scalability, flexibility, cost efficiency, and security. Owing to these benefits, organizations are shifting toward hybrid cloud to achieve security of data and application and large storage spaces to reduce their capital expenditure by deploying a combination of the private and public cloud model.

By organization size,large enterprises segment dominated the global big data as a service market in 2018 and is expected to remain dominant during the forecast period. Numerous large enterprises are adopting big data as a service due to increase in number of datasets and data handling solutions such as data transformation, data migration, data warehousing, and data hub. However, the small and medium enterprise segment is predicted to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period due to rapid increase in adoption of big data-enabled cloud services by these organizations across different industry verticals.

In terms of industry vertical, the BFSI segment is expected to witness high adoption of big data as a service solutions and services. The dominance of this industry is attributed to growth in regulatory scrutiny combined with improved customer satisfaction. Along with this, it provides numerous benefits to the BFSI industry such as risk management, fraud detection, customized solutions, and others, which is expected to drive the growth of the market.
