Italy Alternative Data Market Trends:

Digital Transformation of Enterprises

Italy's pledge to digital change has been a key force in the growth of its alternative data market. The country's strategic plans are intended to increase the digital competencies of its businesses, thus promoting a strong data economy. Based on the European Commission's Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI), Italy has made significant strides in connectivity, especially in the development of Next Generation Access (NGA). Nevertheless, there are problems in the areas of digital competencies, which may vitally hinder the complete achievement of a digitalized economy. To help meet these challenges, the Italian government has introduced policies aimed at enhancing the interoperability and availability of public administration data through APIs. The effort enables data exchanges and encourages the development of Data Sharing Agreements, particularly in strategic fields with high potential. This impact of digital change is seen in the structural business data. The evidence from Istat reveals that as of 2024, Italy had a turnover of well over €4.1 trillion made by almost 4.3 million companies working within its regions. Value added at the cost of the factor stood at close to €1 trillion. This digital transformation has resulted in greater efficiency and productivity for Italian businesses. The use of digital technologies has made operations more efficient, lowered costs, and created new opportunities for data gathering and analysis. As a result, companies are using alternative data sources to better understand market trends, consumer behavior, and business performance.

Increasing Adoption of Big Data Analytics

The rising use of Big Data analytics is profoundly impacting Italy's alternative data sector, fueling high growth and innovation in different industries. In 2022, the Italian Big Data market grew by 20% from 2021 to a value of more than €2.4 billion. This trend reflects the increasing awareness among Italian businesses of the need for data-driven decision-making and analytics. Alternative data is other than traditional sources of data that give new information over and above usual datasets.

This is driven by the growing dependence of investors and firms on alternative data, data analysis technology developments in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), and the spread of internet and mobile technologies. In Italy, Big Data analytics integration into the alternative data space is creating a culture based on data among companies. Spending on data management and analytics tools has emerged as the major growth drivers, contributing 54% to the overall market and a 25% increase over 2021.
