Data Catalog Market Trends:

Widespread AI Integration

Data analysts, engineers, and scientists in organizations struggle to understand the relevance of data. Consequently, they spend more time interpreting the data. The increasing trend of integrating generative AI capabilities with data catalogs, as they automatically tag and classify data, making it easier for users to find relevant datasets, is acting as a significant growth-inducing factor. For instance, in October 2023, Amazon Web Services announced the general availability of Amazon DataZone, a data management service to discover, analyze, catalog, share, and govern data between data producers and consumers in organizations. Additionally, the increasing popularity of natural language processing (NLP) and low-code or no-code approaches, as enterprises across countries are looking for ways to enable more employees to use data to inform their work as well as make experienced data users more efficient, is also elevating the data catalog market revenue. For example, in October 2023, Alation, Inc., one of the data intelligence companies, announced ALLIE AI, a co-pilot, to increase the productivity of data analysts, AI engineers, and data stewards. ALLIE AI builds upon Alation’s machine learning (ML) capabilities to enable organizations to save time, scale data initiatives more quickly, and advance new AI initiatives. Furthermore, in May 2024, DBT Labs developed a series of enhanced tools, including an AI-powered assistant, to help customers transform data to use in informing models and applications.

Improved Data Compliance and Governance

The implementation of stringent data privacy regulations, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), is increasing the need for data governance. Moreover, data governance departments oversee data catalogs and communicate data usage policies to assist employees in tapping into centralized data sets and using them for building machine learning dashboards, models, and other analytics tools. As a result, data catalog providers are adopting robust governance features to ensure compliance. For example, in February 2024, Collibra launched Collibra AI Governance, which enables organizations to deliver trusted AI safely and effectively. Built on top of the Collibra Data Intelligence Platform, Collibra AI Governance helps AI, data, and legal teams to collaborate to ensure compliance with privacy policies, improve model performance and ROI, mitigate data risk, as well as accelerate time to production. In line with this, in June 2023, Privacera, one of the leading providers of data security and governance solutions, introduced the Databricks Unity Catalog that provides customers with a unified governance solution for their data and AI assets, including tables, machine learning models, files, and dashboards. Furthermore, widespread digitization is also escalating the demand for novel data management tools among employees and license managers to meet rigorous compliance standards, which is positively influencing the data catalog market outlook. For example, in January 2024, Microsoft introduced a software asset management (SAM) module for implementing a centralized software catalog. Moreover, it makes third-party software requisitioning more manageable, efficient, and compliant.

Demand for Self-Service Analytics

Continuous improvements in the information technology (IT) industry are stimulating the global market. Additionally, self-service analytics is gaining traction, as it enables business users to access, analyze, and derive insights from data without relying heavily on IT or data specialists. This trend is driven by the need for agility in decision-making across organizations. For instance, in April 2024, MicroStrategy added a new addition to its platform, MicroStrategy Auto, to simplify access to business analytical data within organizations. Besides this, self-service analytics also helps organizations to respond more quickly to market changes and operational challenges, thereby enhancing their competitive edge, which represents one of the data catalog market recent opportunities. For example, in December 2023, Cantaloupe, Inc., one of the digital payment and software service companies that provides end-to-end technology solutions for self-service commerce, launched two premium analytics tools in its Seed Pro software platform, i.e. Seed Analytics and Seed Intelligence. These tools are specifically designed to transform the way vending operators leverage data for business growth with enhanced productivity and improved decision-making. Furthermore, in October 2023, Amplitude, Inc., one of the leading digital analytics platforms, introduced Amplitude Plus to deliver better digital experiences and drive better outcomes to users.
