Federal Big Data Market, 2021-2023

For years, the federal government has moved towards effectively using data as a strategic asset in areas such as evidence-based decision-making. Key data-centric policies have set the wheels in motion for agencies to mature their data governances, infrastructures and workforce. The Biden Administration also remains committed to utilizing data and analytics in climate change, pandemic, economic recovery and social quality priorities. As agencies attempt to overcome challenges in producing a data-driven culture, standardizing, and unlocking data from siloed and legacy systems, investment in areas such as analysis support, analytics and big data systems and platforms will expand. Data proliferation, influenced by technologies such as exascale, artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, will drive the need for augmented data management, storage, access and interoperability.

Deltek forecasts federal demand for contracted big data products and services will grow from $6.1 billion in FY 2021 to $7.5 billion in FY 2023 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 11.4%.
