Key Takeaways
Component Type – Segment Analysis
The software segment has been analyzed to attribute to the majority of share in the Graph Database Market during the forecast period 2020-2025 owing to the rising demand for software, as massive volume of data is continuously generated due to which managing data using a traditional relational database infrastructure is difficult for enterprises. These organizations need to manage their data efficiently and effectively to enhance their productivity and maintain business continuity. The proliferation of data amounting to big data has forced vendors to design graph database software and help Information Technology (IT) teams simplify and manage their decision-making process. For Instance, in July 2019 Dgraph raised $11.5 million for scalable graph database solutions. Thus Graph database tools are becoming prevalent among data-sensitive organizations to cope with the ever-increasing volumes of data which is indicating opportunity for the growth of Graph Database Market.
End-user – Segment Analysis
Among the end users, the healthcare and life sciences sector is expected to dominate the Graph Database Market with the highest CAGR of 12.48% during the forecast period 2020-2025. Graph database software plays a key role in the healthcare and life sciences sectors for recording patient’s information and to provide this information to numerous patients or healthcare providers. Healthcare organizations and institutions are using graph database tools to improve and enhance the operational efficiency, safety, reduce costs, and improvise the quality of patient care, thus fueling its adoption in the healthcare sector. Industry regulations, such as HIPPA and HITECH, provide guidelines for healthcare data privacy and the safe transmission of electronic health data. Healthcare-focused start-ups are leveraging the graph database technology to cater to the unmet needs of customers. For instance, Zephyr Health, a health-focused start-up is leveraging graph database technology as one important component of its service offerings. Furthermore, by using graph database technology, healthcare organizations are leveraging the connections within their existing data such as connected genome or information related to patient treatments, which is opportunistic for the graph database market.
Geography – Segment Analysis
North America dominated the graph database market accounting for 42% of shares in 2019 and this trend is expected to continue over the forecast period 2020-2025. The emergence of technology-based enterprises and industries has created the significant growth opportunities for the graph database vendors in this region as the organizations highly rely on data, which is driving the adoption of graph database tools and related technologies. Increasing number of manufacturing firms, proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and emergence of AI will further fuel the market growth in this region. The rapid generation of data across industry verticals and the increasing investments in new technologies, such as Machine Learning (ML) is expected to propel the demand for graph database tools during the forecast period. Increasing investments by various graph database vendors in these regions will further fuel the growth of the market. For instance, in September 2019, TigerGraph a California-based software developer raised $32 million for graph database tools.
Drivers – Smart Display Market
Graph database eases the distribution of any data across data centers or cloud regions, making business applications ready to scale, and able to create real-time insights and experiences. Moreover, it helps display insights through data visualizations and provides a real-time prediction for streaming data. Hence, the graph database is used to enhance business process, improve decision-making, and achieve the ability to automate, optimize, and direct decisions as per demands to reach set business goals. The growing consensus toward graph database is the most direct path to extract business decisions from the value found in the data.
Graph databases are majorly designed for highly interconnected data. It works best when the data is connected, and should be represented by how it links or refers to other data. For instance, the application of graph database technology in social network. Moreover, for highly connected data, graph database technology provides numerous benefits as compared to other relational databases, including enhanced performance, improved flexibility, and easier data modeling, which are expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the graph database market. For instance, highly connected data can cause a lot of joins, which generally are expensive. After over seven self/recursive joins, the relational database management system slows down considerably as compared to graph databases.
Challenges – Graph Database Market.
While graph databases are technically NoSQL databases, in practice, they cannot be implemented across a low-cost cluster, but have to run on a single machine. This is the reason behind the rapid performance degradation across a network. Another potential drawback is that developers have to write their queries using Java as there is no Standard Query Language (SQL) to retrieve data from graph databases, which means employing expensive programmers or developers use SparcQL or one of the other query languages that have been developed to support graph databases. These challenges may hinder the Graph Database Market growth.
Market Landscape
The Graph Database Market is dominated by major solution providers, such as IBM (US), Microsoft (US), Oracle (US), AWS (US), Neo4j (US), OrientDB (UK), TIBCO (US), Franz (US), OpenLink Software (US), MarkLogic (US), TigerGraph (US), DataStax (US), Ontotext (Bulgaria), Stardog (US), Cray (US), ArangoDB (US), Bitnine (US), Objectivity (US), Memgraph (UK), Cambridge Semantics (US), Fluree (US), and Blazegraph (US).
