As the big data market continues to grow, we take a look at the top companies helping customers analyse and generate insights from their complex datasets

The global big data and business analytics market size was valued at US$198.08bn in 2020, and is projected to reach US$684.12bn by 2030. With this significant growth, it comes as no surprise that the term ‘big data’ is used frequently in the technology world and many businesses are now reaping the benefits of harnessing such data.

Big data describes the large volume of data in a structured and unstructured manner. Large and highly complex, big data sets tend to be generated from new data sources and can be used to address business problems many businesses wouldn't have been able to tackle before. 

Helping to move businesses forward, big data is very valuable, but, it is a lot for traditional software to handle and many companies have turned to software providers to help them make sense of the new and complex datasets their business operations generate.

In response to this, a number of companies have emerged over the years to provide solutions for organising huge datasets and understanding the relevant information within them. Here, we look at some of the top companies in the big data space…
