Datafication refers to the process of converting diverse aspects of human activities, business operations, and the environment into data for analysis and decision-making, involving transforming analog information into digital data. This digital transformation facilitates enhanced insights, predictive analytics, and informed decision-making.
The main types of chemicals in datafication are behavioral datafication, social datafication, geospatial datafication, transactional datafication, and sensor datafication. Behavioral datafication involves the collection and analysis of data related to human behaviors, actions, and interactions, often derived from digital platforms and devices. It includes a variety of components, such as solutions and services and has deployment modes of cloud and on-premises. The applications under it are defined as blockchain, artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps), cognitive computing, edge computing, FinOps, and others as well employed in various industries are banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), healthcare, IT and telecom, retail, government and defense, manufacturing, media and entertainment and others.

An increasing volume of data generation is expected to propel the growth of the datafication market going forward. Data generation refers to creating or producing new data through various means, such as collecting data from sources, conducting surveys, performing experiments, or generating data through algorithms and simulations. It arises due to the influence of digital technologies and the growing interconnectedness of the global economy. Datafication is used in data generation because it transforms various aspects of businesses, customers, and users into quantifiable, usable, and actionable data, thereby facilitating the collection, analysis, and utilization of vast amounts of information. For instance, in March 2021, according to reports published by The World Bank Group, a US-based international organizations, global internet traffic surged from over 3 zettabytes in 2020 to a projected 4.8 zettabytes in 2022, representing a 50% increase and equivalent to 150,000 gigabytes per second, which underscores the escalating volume of data creation. Therefore, the increasing volume of data generation is driving the growth of the datafication market.
