Report: Hadoop Growth to Center on Asia-Pacific and Services Industry

How fast is Hadoop, the open source big data platform, set to grow in coming years? Which factors will most significantly influence Hadoop adoption? Those are the questions that a new report out this week from Big Market Research seeks to answer. Read on for key findings.

The report, details of which the company shared with The VAR Guy via email, include the following major findings:

  • The Hadoop market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 58.2 percent from 2013 to 2020.

  • The biggest driver of Hadoop growth will be the ever-increasing volume of both structured and unstructured data that businesses have to contend with. That's not exactly surprising, but it speaks to how long the explosion in the amount of data organizations produce will last.

  • The services industry, including travel and hospitality, stands to be the among the largest centers of Hadoop adoption in coming years.

  • The Asia-Pacific region will likely see the greatest amount of Hadoop growth in the future as the result of new global business investment in that area.

  • Security problems linked to Hadoop and distributed computing more generally are the biggest challenge for Hadoop adoption going forward.

The report also identified the following as the leading vendors in the Hadoop market: Amazon Web Services, MarkLogic, Teradata, Pentaho, MapR Technologies, Karmasphere, Hortonworks, Datameer, Cloudera and Cisco Systems.

The full report is available online—though it will cost you.
