Market Trends of Data Monetization Industry
Large Enterprises to Hold Major Market Share
- The growing trends of digital transformation are shaping the business landscape. Large enterprises are ramping up their plans for cloud migration and confronting new challenges, including higher customer expectations, business volume growth, and service delivery model changes.
- Thus, many large enterprises are adopting Data as a Service (DaaS) solutions from high-speed cloud service providers. Most are engaged in revenue generation from DaaS. Data-based monetization tasks are set to become automated and offer higher productivity.
- In the United States, companies like Amazon, Facebook, and Google have monetized and used their data to fuel the growth of their business. As a result, organizations across all industries increasingly look at their data to uncover opportunities to create value for their business growth.
- According to the Bank of America Corporation, digital advertising is expected to reach 74% of US ad spending in 2024, up from 69% in 2023. Tech giants like Google, Meta, and Amazon will continue to have a significant share of the US online advertising industry. In recent years, companies in the United States, such as Expedia, Booking, eBay, and Airbnb, have allocated significant revenues to their sales and marketing. They are anticipated to continue doing so during the forecast period.
- Large enterprises are expected to design reconfigurable architectures that support extensive data reuse to enhance the embedded value of data monetization solutions. This helps them meet aggressive technical demands such as high-performance processing, advanced data integration, and scalability.
North America Holds Significant Market Share
- The North American data monetization market has been experiencing significant growth, driven by increasing volumes of data generated by businesses and consumers. Companies are finding new ways to extract value from this data, leading to the development of innovative data monetization strategies and technologies. Adopting advanced analytics and artificial intelligence has enabled organizations to derive actionable insights from their data, further fueling the market's growth.
- Furthermore, the region is an early adopter and host to innovative initiatives for advanced analytics solutions and practices, such as big data, machine learning, information science, and high-performance computing. It has a strong foothold of vendors, contributing to the market's growth. Some include Google Inc., Cisco Systems Inc., Adastra Corporation (Canada), Domo, and Sisense Inc.
- In June 2023, Cisco announced the Cisco Observability Platform, an open and extensible, API-driven Full-Stack Observability (FSO) platform built on OpenTelemetry and anchored on metrics, events, logs, and traces (MELT). Advancing Cisco's Full-Stack Observability strategy, it provides AI/ML-driven analytics and a new observability ecosystem, delivering relevant and impactful business insights. Observability can become the primary way to reduce team friction by unifying data, analysis, actions, and practices.
- The proliferation of digital devices and technologies has led to a massive increase in the volume of data generated by businesses and consumers, creating more monetization opportunities. According to Cisco Systems, the average number of devices and connections per person in North America was 13.4 in FY 2023, significantly higher than in other regions.
- Furthermore, businesses increasingly recognize the value of their data as a strategic asset. They are exploring ways to monetize it through various means, such as selling data, offering data-driven services, or leveraging it for targeted advertising. Regulatory frameworks such as the GDPR in Europe and the CCPA in California also have heightened awareness around data privacy and security, prompting companies to find compliant ways to monetize their data assets.
