IDC Tracker

There are three key shifts affecting the expansion of the big data and analytics market: the increasing importance of data in the modern enterprise, the ongoing shift to public cloud, and the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning within our enterprise applications. IDC's Worldwide Semiannual Big Data and Analytics Software Tracker® measures and monitors these three dynamics by tracking the performance of individual vendor's historical business performance, and it also forecasts the development of the industry, five years into the future. The tracker details which software vendors are gaining or losing share across mature and emerging countries and variations in growth patterns, now and in the future, by market segments as well as the other measurements that are critical for software vendors, supply chain partners, and the investment community.
