Segmentation

Analysis by Component

By component, the dark analytics market is divided into solution & services.

Organisation analysis tools and software platforms that enable dark data evaluation belong to the solution category. The solutions segment expands considerably due to the advancement of their capabilities. Vendors have added NLP and machine vision technology with prediction tools to find valuable information from text documents.

The dark analytics market services sector grows because companies need professional help to manage their growing amounts of dark data. Businesses and organisations depend on the services industry for dark data analysis because they need professional data scientists to handle complex issues and limited available talent.

Analysis by Deployment

Based on deployment, the market is divided into cloud and on-premises.

The cloud deployment part grows fast because companies and departments find cloud services more scalable and affordable to use. More businesses choose cloud-based dark analytics because it connects well with other cloud services and offers ready-to-use AI/ML models. This trend helps small and medium-sized enterprises use dark analytics better.

The "on-premises" deployment segment retains a significant share of the market, particularly among organisations with stringent data security and compliance requirements. Organisations need dark analytics solutions on their own premises to meet security requirements, and the market grows because of this demand.

Analysis by Application

Based on application, the market is divided into fraud detection, risk management, customer insights, and predictive maintenance.

The fraud detection area develops rapidly because criminals perform advanced scams, and businesses must manage more transactions. The demand for early fraud detection leads organisations to use dark analytics platforms, which enlarges their marketplace.

Organisations are adopting dark analytics at a fast pace because they must cope with multiple risks that continue to become more complex. Organisations use dark analytics data to run analyses on risk information and expand this practice area.

Analysis by Industry

Based on industry, the market is divided into BFSI, retail & e-commerce, healthcare, government, telecommunication, and others (travel & hospitality).

The BFSI sector uses dark analytics to fight financial crime and it improves both risk assessment and customer services. Banks and financial institutions need better security measures and compliance while also wanting better customer understanding, which makes them large buyers in this market.

The "Retail & E-commerce" sector uses dark analytics to upgrade its understanding of customers as well as streamline supply networks and make tailored promotions. Use of dark analytics to understand customers better while optimising operations makes retailers and e-commerce firms increase their use of these analytics, which drives growth in this market.

Regional Analysis

Based on region, the dark analytics market has been studied across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa.

Due to advanced technology availability North America especially the U.S. leads as a top market for dark analytics services. In North America, a strong network of technology experts studies darker analytics and makes advanced solutions that help develop the field. Many U.S. companies in BFSI, healthcare, and government use dark analytics because they need better cybersecurity and must follow regulatory rules.

• As per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, approximately 37,000 employed computer and information research scientists in the U.S. in 2023.
• As per the U.S. Census Bureau, approximate 15% increase in U.S. businesses with 100+ employees using cloud computing (2017-2021).

European market growth comes from firms adhering to strict data privacy rules under GDPR and setting ethical guidelines for AI and data use. GDPR standards push European companies to find solutions with dark analytics that meet personal data security standards and protect them from data breach risks. European companies use dark analytics tools to search and handle sensitive data stored in their dark data files for regulatory compliance.

The Asia Pacific dark analytics market grows quickly because its digital economy develops rapidly alongside trends in artificial intelligence and machine learning plus people realize more cybersecurity threats exist. The region produces large amounts of dark data from its massive population while more people use the internet which drives strong customer demand for analytics systems to make sense of the data. China Japan and India put significant capital into their AI and data analytics projects which leads them to develop better dark analytics solutions. Companies across e-commerce search and fintech healthcare must use these technologies due to their strong success in the region.
