Overview

Data Science & Advanced Analytics covers the platforms, tools, and services that enable analysts and data scientists to explore data and build advanced models — analytics platforms, notebooks, statistical and predictive tools, and the lakehouse environments where modern analytics runs. It is led by data/analytics platforms (Databricks, Snowflake, SAS, Dataiku) and the analytics ecosystem.

Demand is driven by enterprises' push to extract advanced insight and competitive advantage from data, the convergence of data warehousing and data science (the lakehouse), and the integration of AI into analytics workflows. It is consolidating around scaled data platforms — Databricks and Snowflake being the marquee growth stories — that unify data, analytics, and AI; it is a foundational, high-value data category.
