Forrester Data: Big Data Management Solutions Forecast, 2016 To 2021 (Global)

Big data solutions address data sets that are so large or complex that traditional data processing applications are inadequate. In this forecast, we specifically examine big data management solutions, the software and related services that help enterprises manage these large volumes of data. We expect the global big data management solutions market to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.8% over the 2016 to 2021 period. This forecast breaks out global growth by region (US, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and rest of world) and by 20 industry segments (chemicals; construction and engineering; consumer products; education and social services; financial services; government; healthcare; high-tech products; industrial products; insurance; media, entertainment, and leisure; oil and gas; pharmaceuticals and medical equipment; primary production; professional services; retail; telecommunications; transportation; utilities; and wholesale). We examine growth in six categories: 1) enterprise data warehouse; 2) NoSQL; 3) Hadoop; 4) big data integration; 5) data virtualization; and 6) in-memory data fabric.
