Key Findings & Highlights:
The big data and analytics services industry has gone through two major disruptions. The first disruption is related to technology: the adoption of big data in the form of open source software and data visualization tools have challenged the economics of traditional offerings, enterprise data warehouse (EDW) and BI. The second disruption is related to digital transformation, in which big data and analytics plays a major role to support new business models and operational effectiveness.
The big data and analytics services market is expected to grow by 8% over the 2016-2021 period, growing to $41.3bn. This is a solid growth level, corresponding to two to three times the growth of IT services spending.
Within big data and analytics services, spending is shifting: in 2017, the share of spending related to mature offerings (database, EDW, and BI) represented 40% of software testing spending; this will decrease to 25% by 2021.
Service spending in MDM, data quality, and data preparation is solid and will grow by 9% over the 2017-2021 period. Big data services spending is growing at a double-digit rate, and so are data science, analytics, data visualization, and AI. Looking ahead, growth in big data services will slow, as IT service vendors assemble their own reference architectures and vendors such as AWS enrich their big data PaaS offerings. Growth in data science and data visualization will remain strong: client appetite for insights is only starting.
From a geography perspective, spending growth in North America will remain solid, in spite of the uncertainty of the U.S. economhy brought by the Trump administration. In EMEA, we have assumed that:
- U.K.: macro-economic conditions resulting from Brexit would deteriorate for the next two to three years
- Western European countries are all back to growth, including the Netherlands.
