It is no secret that Big Data is ever growing in a rapid rate in the modern world, just in the last two years 90% of the worlds data was created; this fact here helps convey just how much growth there is within Big Data as the time goes on the amount of data held appears to dwarf the amount held before and this just isn't the case for big companies, smaller companies will still hold on to past data whilst collecting new data. The growth of data will be directly linked with how a great majority of business is now conducted through the web, it has also been revealed that businesses on average only analyse 12% of the data they possess... this demonstrates just how much data is collected by business. Another great way to determine growth in a sector is to see how much is being invested financially, data investments in the financial industry just in 2018 itself was $9 billion, we can only expect to see the growth of Big Data to continue in the coming years ahead.
