The data preparation tools market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for data preparation tools has experienced rapid expansion in recent years. The market is projected to surge from $7.79 billion in 2024 to $9.59 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.2%.
The notable growth during the historical period can be linked to factors such as the increasing complexity in data formats and sources, which necessitates more sophisticated tools, the rising trend of data preparation as a service (DPaaS), the application of data virtualization technology in preparation processes, the emergence of data preparation solutions tailored to specific industries, and the uptake of federated learning strategies for distributed data preparation tasks.
The data preparation tools market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market for data preparation tools is projected to experience a significant increase in size in the coming years, expanding to $21.84 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.8%.
This upsurge during the predicted period is primarily due to the application of edge AI for on-device data preparation functions, rising use of AI and machine learning for data organisation tasks, escalating demand for self-help data preparation tools, increasing requirement for data quality and control in preparation methods, and need for instantaneous data preparation abilities. Key trends during the predicted period involve technological progress, advancement of big data and IoT increasing the need for scalable data preparation solutions, collaboration features for group-based data preparation initiatives, application of federated learning techniques for distributive data preparation tasks, and merger of data preparation with data governance and stewardship platforms.
The swift expansion of data quantity is predicted to boost the data preparation tools market's advancement. Data, usually existing digitally, constitutes unprocessed facts and figures amassed for investigation or consultation purposes. The accelerated growth in data volumes can be ascribed primarily to the rise in digitalization, technological enhancements, and the ubiquity of connected devices. With the complexity and immensity of dealing with large data sets, having data preparation tools becomes critical for proficiently purifying, restructuring, and arranging data for analysis. For example, a report divulged by the Linux Foundation, an American nonprofit consortium in December 2022, indicates that an average end-user organization possessing a storage capacity of up to 20 petabytes witnessed an annual data growth of 566 TB in 2021, escalating to 1,746 TB in 2022. In the same vein, organizations with a storage capacity reaching 25 petabytes reported a pronounced annual data growth of 2,208 TB in 2022 which was threefold higher than that recorded in 2021 (700 TB). Thus, this burgeoning volume of data is expected to stimulate the growth of the data preparation tools market.
