Key Trends in the Market

In-memory database (IMDB) is a database management system which relies on internal memory instead of a disk drive for data storage. It is mainly utilised by applications that require microsecond response time such as real-time analytics, billing and subscription services, and gaming leaderboard, among others.

• Growing usage of in-memory databases in tandem with cloud-hosted applications to improve processing speed is one of the key in-memory database market trends. Together, they offer features such as affordability, low latency rate, fast query execution, and scalability to users.
• Increased incorporation of IMDB with business intelligence (BI) tools to solve complex and time-consuming business scenarios by providing superior performance efficiency and speed is another crucial trend aiding the market expansion.
• The surging adoption of IMDB for IoT applications due to its capability to provide the data processing speed of 100,000 transactions per second and improve the real-time analytics capabilities of IoT devices also contributes to the in-memory database market growth.
• Growing developmental efforts by key players to enhance the abilities of in-memory databases are also favouring the market expansion. For instance, in November 2023, Aerospike released version 7 of its in-memory database which allows users to choose the appropriate storage engine depending on the workload.
