By Dick Weisinger

Big Data and Business Analytics is an area expected to grow rapidly over the next five years, reaching a $187 billion market size by 2019, according to IDC.  Revenue growth will come primarily from large companies with more than 500 employees, but smaller companies will contribute about one-quarter to the total amount.

The sectors that are expected to see the biggest Big Data investments in 2019 are:

  • Discrete Manufacturing ($22.8 billion)
  • Process Manufacturing ($16.4 billion)
  • Federal and central government (> $10 billion)
  • Professional Services (> $10 billion)
  • Telecommunications (> $10 billion)
  • Retail (> $10 billion)

Jessica Goepfert, programme director at IDC, said that “there is little question that big data and analytics can have a considerable impact on just about every industry.  Its promise speaks to the pressure to improve margins and performance while simultaneously enhancing responsiveness and delighting customers and prospects.  Forward-thinking organizations turn to this technology for better and faster data-driven decisions.”
