Data Lakes Market

Market Definition

The global Data Lakes Market size was valued at USD 6.82 billion in 2021 and is predicted to reach USD 32.96 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 19.2% from 2022-2030. Data lakes are centralized repository software that is used as a storage system of all raw and natural data in one place.

The information stored in the data swamps is mostly in the form of audio, video text, and blobs or files that can be refined as per the requirement. Data lakes help to import the amount of data that comes in real-time which is collected from multiple sources and moved into the data lake in its original format. All the information stored in data lakes can be either in the form of unstructured or structured data. 

Unstructured data is used by data analysts and data scientists. Whereas, structured data are prominently used by the aviation and automobile sector. In addition, data lakes help in extracting in-depth insights from the data that further gives a unique set of metadata information to its users.

Market Dynamics and Trends

The demand for data lakes is increasing due to the speed of data recovery to the system which is a better option as compared to its alternative system that includes data warehouses. Also, the rapid use of the Internet of Things (IoT), as it provides quick and efficient data manipulation in almost every prominent sector such as corporate, healthcare, finance, and telecom is driving the growth of the market. 

For instance, there were more than 10 billion active IoT devices globally in 2021, and it is estimated that the number of active IoT devices will surpass 25.4 billion in 2030. Moreover, the world is inclining toward digitalization and companies are becoming more data-driven as it is a secure choice that eliminates the need for data modeling, which is expected to propel the data lakes market growth during forecast period.

However, slow integration of data while boarding and high maintenance cost are the factors that restrain the growth of the market. On the contrary, rising number of digital payments, increase in number of transactional information in the banking sector, and growing investments in unmanaged data lake like data swamps to improve analytical abilities for its customers are expected to create lucrative opportunities for the data lakes market players in the future.
