“Focus on Data Marketplaces and Exchanges”
- The current trend in the global data monetization market, as of May 2025, shows a significant rise in data marketplaces and exchanges
- These platforms facilitate the buying and selling of data assets, creating new avenues for organizations to directly monetize their data and for others to access diverse datasets
- This trend is fueled by the increasing recognition of data as a valuable commodity and the need for standardized platforms to trade it
- For instance, companies with large datasets, such as those in retail or IoT, are listing anonymized or aggregated data on these marketplaces, allowing other businesses to leverage this information for insights without the need for direct data collection
- This trend is making data more accessible and liquid, fostering innovation across industries
