Data Lake Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Type (Solution, Services), By Deployment (Cloud, On-premise), By Vertical (IT, BFSI, Retail, Healthcare), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2020 - 2027

Report Overview 

The global data lake market size was valued at USD 7.6 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.6% from 2020 to 2027. An enormous amount of information is generated daily on the digital information platforms. Such a huge amount of information requires efficient storage systems. Data lakes are systems that are used to store information in raw forms. It is a central repository of easily accessible large volumes of information. The information stored in a data lake can be unstructured data that is used by data analysts and data scientists or structured data prominently used by the airline and automotive sector.

The data lakes assist businesses in enhancing their capabilities by providing benefits, including coverage for all information sources, linear scalability, accommodation of information at high speeds, high flexibility, and elimination of information silos. Also, enterprises gain a competitive advantage by extracting more value from the stored information as quickly as possible. Data lakes provide enterprises with dynamic and advanced data analytics capabilities. Further, the cost incurred for the implementation of data lakes is less than that of implementing a data warehouse. Thus, it is expected to gain adoption over the forecast period.

A rise in the adoption of IoT devices is expected to impact the growth of the market positively. The proliferation of data with the increasing adoption of IoT is expected to drive market growth. Also, various government initiatives such as the development of smart cities and the implementation of intelligent utility meters would impact the market positively. For instance, Singapore, Tokyo, New York, and London are anticipated to be amongst the top investors in smart city initiatives for the year 2020.

The rise in the number of digital payments is increasing the number of transactional information in banks across the globe. Several banks are investing in developing data lakes for improving its analytical abilities to provide on the go solutions to its customers. Banks, including Australia and New Zealand Banking Group and State Bank of India, have already started developing data lakes to integrate transactional information across domains and create a central database. Thus, data lakes allow banks to aggregate transactional information from all the data ponds across the domains into a central database that can be accessed by any individual in real-time.

Type Insights

The data lake market is segmented into solutions and services based on type. The solution segment caters to the highest share in the market. This is owing to the increased application of data lakes in the IT, BFSI, and retail sectors. The data lake solutions assist the IT operation in analyzing unstructured and structured information and capturing relevant insights. Also, various companies are implementing data solutions to enhance and evaluate their internal processes.
