Data Discovery Market Expansion Supported By Key Demand Factors
The rising demand for cloud adoption is anticipated to propel the expansion of the data discovery market moving forward. Cloud adoption involves the integration and use of cloud computing services and resources by individuals, organizations, or businesses to enhance their IT capabilities and achieve specific objectives. In the context of data discovery, cloud adoption offers the necessary infrastructure, scalability, and tools for efficient and effective data exploration, analysis, and visualization. For instance, according to AAG IT Services, a UK-based non-government organization, in January 2025 it was reported that in 2022, 57% of SMB workloads and 56% of SMB data resided in public clouds. An additional 6% of each was projected to migrate to the cloud within the subsequent 12 months. This implies that by 2023, roughly 63% of SMB workloads and 62% of SMB data are expected to be cloud-hosted. Therefore, the escalating demand for cloud adoption is actively driving the growth of the data discovery market.
