Futurum Group Survey Sees DIAI Market Reaching $541.1B in 2026
Techstrong.IT, Friday, January 23rd, 2026
The global data intelligence, analytics, and infrastructure (DIAI) market is projected to grow at a 17% compound annual growth rate through 2028 off a base of $541.1 billion in 2026 to exceed $1.2 trillion by 2031, according to a forecast published today by the Futurum Group.
Brad Shimmin, vice president and practice lead for data intelligence, analytics and infrastructure at the Futurum Group, said much of the spending will be driven by investments in artificial intelligence (AI) as organizations come to terms with the data management challenges that lie ahead.
For example, AI development and operations are forecasted to increase (24%), while demand for tools needed to observe data will see a similar spike (22%) in 2026. There will be increased demand next year (19%) for data management tools that operate at the semantic level to provide a higher level of abstraction above the raw data stored in, for example, a data lake.
