In the consolidated global Hadoop market, the top three vendors, Cloudera, Inc., Hortonworks, Inc., and MapR Technologies, Inc., held a collective share of over 50% in 2014, with small- and medium-sized companies accounting for a nearly 41% share in the global market in the same year. With demand for Hadoop solutions rising at a rapid pace from companies overwhelmed with the persistently mounting volumes of digital data, an increased number of companies will venture in the market in the next few years, states TMR in a recent report.
The largest contributor to the market in 2014 was Cloudera, Inc., which held over 20% of the market. Technology giants such as IBM Corporation and EMC Corporation presently account for relatively smaller share in the market but are steadily contributing towards the further development of this market with innovative Hadoop solutions. IBM Corporation has adopted the course of mergers and acquisitions to bolster its position in the global Hadoop market and could report a greater share in the pie in the coming years, notes TMR.
Better cost effectiveness and faster processing of voluminous quantities of data compared to conventional data processing solutions such as RDBMS are two of the most encouraging factors boosting the global adoption of Hadoop. Other major drivers of the market include the exponentially rising unstructured data volumes, the increased demand for big data analytics, and Hadoop’s potential in bridging the operational gap between managers and database management.
“Cost effectiveness and high speed of data processing are expected to have high impact on the global Hadoop market’s growth over the entire period of 2015 through 2023. However, the impact of the increased demand for big data analytics will be nominal in the short term but strengthen as the time passes,” quoted a TMR analyst.
