Global Database as a Service Market 2016-2020

Overview of the database as a service (DBaaS) market

Extensive research carried out by market research analysts at Technavio has shown that database as a service (DBaaS) market will witness exponential growth and will post an impressive CAGR of more than 65% over the forecast period. Without the availability of DBaaS, companies across various industries are forced to rely on hardware servers that need a lot of resources. This dependency on hardware resources will lead to an increase in their overall operating costs. Therefore, instead of investing large amounts in hardware technologies, companies are more inclined to invest in pay-as-you-go services with a weekly, quarterly, or annual cloud computing subscription. Moreover, shifting to cloud computing lowers costs by pooling resources that can be distributed to applications as needed. Cloud computing not only helps companies scale up or down when needed but also helps them manage maintenance costs accordingly. 

In this industry research report, our analysts have deduced factors such as the increasing adoption of mobile devices and smartphones and the rising popularity of mobile apps to prompt several companies to use DBaaS. Moreover, the ubiquity of smart devices has prompted enterprises to adopt solutions that allow access to real-time data. Also, the adoption of these mobility solutions will help organizations access enterprise documents through smart devices and will enable working professionals to seamlessly access and exchange organizational documents from remote locations as per their requirements. The ease of access and transfer of data will lead to the growth of this market over the next four years.

Segmentation by end user and analysis of the DBaaS market

• BFSI
• Healthcare

During 2015, the BFSI sector dominated the market and accounted for more than 21% of the market share in terms of revenue.
