Data Storytelling & Visualization
Platforms creating narrative-driven data visualizations and reports.
Market snapshot
These figures describe Business Intelligence & Reporting (9.2.2), the segment that Data Storytelling & Visualization sits within. They are not figures for Data Storytelling & Visualization on its own.
Not separately classified. The most mature segment on this page and the most consolidated: reporting was absorbed into the cloud data platforms and productivity suites that already hold the data. Independent vendors compete on the last mile of governance, embedding and distribution rather than on visualization, which is now a commodity.
