The BI market is segmented by data type into structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data types. If the collected data is left unmanaged, it becomes tough to retrieve right data information when needed. BI is gaining traction due to its capabilities to handle and manage such unmanaged data. The rise and development of IoT has propelled rapid growth in data volumes. Unlike the structured data, the unstructured data cannot be displayed in rows and columns, thus making it complex for processing and analysis. The unstructured data type is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Increasing demand of analytics and adoption of IoT devices among SMEs are the main reasons for the generation of unstructured data.
The BI market is also segmented by various verticals, out of which the adoption rate of BI is expected to be the highest in the Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) vertical, as the volume and variety of data is increasing day-by-day with the growing demand of IT systems for financial transactions in banks and other financial service institutions.
