On an international level, "... The industries driving much of this growth include banking, discrete manufacturing, process manufacturing, federal/central government, and professional services. Together, these five industries will account for nearly 50% of worldwide big data and business analytics investments in 2016 and will remain the top five industries through 2020."

In addition to being the industry with the largest investment in big data and business analytics solutions (nearly $17.0 billion in 2016), banking will see the fastest spending growth. Telecommunications, utilities, insurance, and transportation will join banking as the industries with the largest CAGRs over the five-year forecast period. However, these industries will not be alone; 16 of the 18 industries covered in IDC's spending guide will experience double-digit CAGRs from 2015-2020."
