Federal Big Data Market, 2023-2027

The push for evidence-based decision-making at the federal level is driving increased investments in data aggregation, analysis, dissemination and sharing across agencies. Data strategies and mandated submissions of learning agendas, annual evaluations and capacity assessments prompt strengthened data management practices and infrastructure at agencies. Data as a priority goes beyond mission support to critical elements of the Biden Administration's management agenda, such as equity and customer experience, which drive demand for additional metrics, assessments and dashboards to evaluate programs and identify areas of improvements.

The push for Internet of Things, 5G, edge computing, artificial intelligence and machine learning drives investments in big data solutions that provide the foundation enabling these emerging technologies.  However, a lack of data-driven culture, data silos and incompatibility among systems stand to hinder data enablement in innovation, impacting agency investments in the short-term to address these challenges.

Deltek forecasts federal spending on big data products and services will increase from $8.0B in FY 2023, to $11.2B in FY 2027, an increase of 40% in the next five years.
