Today’s world has become highly data-driven. The amount of data available nowadays is huge and running into thousands of peta-bytes.

The Global Predictive Analytics market currently is around $ 1.9 Billion, and estimated to rise to about $ 4.4 Billion by 2018. The rapid growth of Big Data is seen as one of the main drivers of this market. Also organizations have now realized the high ROI potential these tools provide, this has led to deployment of predictive and prescriptive analytics in newer segments. Over the years predictive analytics were predominantly used in the banking, finance, credit, insurance, retail and marketing segments, but our recent analysis has revealed the trend of utilization of these tools in wide-ranging sectors such as manufacturing, gaming, travel and hospitality, logistics, industrial chemistry, social media etc., Prescriptive Analytics currently forms only a minor part of this segment but, is expected to see substantial growth in the coming years due to growing awareness and technology.
