Market Trends of Data as a Service Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Data as a Service Market according to our research experts:
BFSI Sector to Witness High Growth
- The asset-servicing industry is shifting from one based on service-led offerings to one based on data and technology-led services. Moreover, banks are adapting DaaS to offer reports-as-a-service or analytics-as-a-service to customers looking for business intelligence insights. The banking and financial industry is facing a critical juncture to capitalize on the opportunity created by accessing, analyzing, and acting on the data generated in real-time or risk becoming non-competitive in the market.
- However, it has been observed that only big national and regional banks prioritize the need for data and analytics. Smaller banks and financial institutions are yet to get started or see significant benefits. Also, the presence of firms involved in financial analysis or stock markets is expected to primarily benefit from Data-as-a-Service, owing to the presence of products such as Bloomberg Terminal.
- Data-as-a-Service solutions provide solutions such as simplification of data outputs, generating coherent datasets, identification of present trends, reducing the time taken to process data, and many more, which can be utilized by banking and finance institutions to unite datasets in an easily understandable way and also ensures compatibility of data between systems.
- Moreover, banking and financial institutes are widely implementing Data-as-a-Service solutions to enable their stakeholders to leverage their data to create new revenue streams for the institute. For instance, Commerzbank, a major German bank operating as a universal bank headquartered in Frankfurt, has developed more than 200 APIs that enable the transformation of processes and adds value to the company's partners by offering near-real-time DaaS.
- As per PitchBook, the total value of investments into fintech companies worldwide last year was USD 226.5 billion, whereas it was only USD 127.7 billion in the previous year. This significant rise in the total value of investments into fintech companies worldwide will offer the market a wide range of lucrative growth opportunities, driving the market's growth considerably throughout the forecasted period.

North America to Witness the Largest Market Share
- North America is among the leading innovators and pioneers, in terms of the adoption, of Data-as-a-Service solutions. The region offers lucrative opportunities for market growth, exhibiting a massive demand for data analytics in the energy sector owing to the strong foothold of data analytics vendors.
- Moreover, major regional firms are widely implementing DaaS as their product offerings. The prime reasons for implementing DaaS far outweigh the drawbacks, particularly regarding IoT data, which requires adaptable and scalable distribution, processing, and storage platforms. Hence, compared to static data stored in corporate repositories or data lakes, enterprise firms are five times more likely to deploy DaaS for machine-generated IoT data. In addition, enterprise data syndication, which allows businesses of all sizes to syndicate (i.e., share and monetize) their data, is another significant opportunity for DaaS, representing one of the biggest prospects for the market.
- The United States plays a crucial role in increasing the demand from the region when compared to Canada. The country has increased demand, especially from BFSI, IT and telecommunications, and oil and gas segments. Further, in the region, a wide range of international brands are incorporating social media-based promotion strategies by using data provided by various players in the market to tap into the market.
- For instance, in March this year, First Rate Ventures, a FinTech-focused venture capital fund, invested in RegAlytics, a comprehensive and customizable cross-sector regulatory alert service provider. RegAlytics delivers data services to some of the world's largest financial institutions and exchanges. RegAlytics provides coherent, customizable, and thoroughly vetted regulatory data from over 5,000 regulators every day.
- Further, in June this year, First Rate Ventures, a FinTech-focused venture capital fund, invested in OWL ESG from its recently launched $25 million venture capital fund. OWL ESG provides data, indexes, evaluation metrics, and other tools that allow investors to make informed choices while making an impact. The company leverages machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) to gather and aggregate ESG data from millions of sources.
