Database Management System Market expected to reach USD 184.623 billion by 2030

Database Management System Market Trends & Forecast

According to a research study published by Knowledge Sourcing Intelligence (KSI), the database management system market will expand from USD 124.291 billion in 2025 to USD 184.623 billion in 2030 at a CAGR of 8.24% during the forecast period.

The database management system refers to a collective program that helps organizations across various industry verticals to control and manage the huge amount of data stored across their various databases. It is a type of software that helps companies store and retrieve user data while maintaining its proper security. The major factor driving the database management market’s growth is the burgeoning adoption of data-driven operations across the major industry verticals.

The rapidly growing investments in 5G technology are further anticipated to propel the adoption of these systems, as penetration of 5G will enable organizations to accommodate large volumes of data while maintaining extremely high speeds and eliminating the risks of downtime. The inclination of businesses towards automation and the increasing importance of cloud applications is further anticipated to positively impact market growth during the next five years. Furthermore, the growing investments by various key market players in new data centers to meet the growing demand for cloud computing are also expected to bolster market expansion in the coming years.

Database Management System Market Report Highlights

• The DBMS market includes hierarchical, network, relational, and object-oriented systems. Among these, the relational database management system (RDBMS) segment dominates due to its structured approach, widespread use in enterprise applications, support for SQL, and compatibility with a variety of business-critical systems. Its scalability, flexibility, and integration with cloud platforms further reinforce its leadership.
• Deployment models for DBMS include cloud and on-premise. The cloud-based DBMS segment is the dominant one, driven by growing demand for scalability, cost efficiency, and accessibility across remote and hybrid work environments. Cloud DBMS also benefits from integration with AI, analytics, and IoT, making it the preferred choice for modern enterprises.
• The market is segmented into small & medium enterprises (SMEs) and large enterprises. The large enterprise segment dominates the DBMS market as these organizations handle massive volumes of structured and unstructured data, requiring advanced database solutions to ensure reliability, performance, and security. However, SMEs are showing rapid adoption of cloud DBMS due to affordability and ease of implementation.
• Key verticals using DBMS include BFSI, healthcare, retail, IT & telecom, manufacturing, and others. The BFSI sector leads the market, as banks and financial institutions rely heavily on secure, high-performance databases to manage customer transactions, regulatory compliance, fraud detection, and data analytics. The sector’s focus on digital banking and fintech innovation further accelerates DBMS adoption.
• It is estimated that during the predicted period, North America will hold the largest market share because of the strict equipment testing rules in countries like the ones in the US and Canada. Such rigorous restrictions concerning quality and test inspections across different industry verticals have prompted market players to extend their reach into this country.

Database Management System Market Growth Drivers and Restraints

Growth Drivers:

• Increasing Investment in Industrial Automation: Industrial automation has revolutionized the way industries operate. It has eased the pressure on industries by providing better output much faster. Automation has also led to many new approaches that were not previously possible with human-controlled machines. Thus, significant adoption of various systems is anticipated, and industrial PCs form an integral part of this increase as PCs are required for automation to perform different tasks such as machinery control and programming, and inventory tracking, among others. Industrial PCs, a core part of industrial automation, also generate huge amounts of data.
• Rising IoT Penetration across various industry verticals: The Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to be one of those technologies projected to become universally acceptable across every industry vertical. The major factor driving its adoption across all the verticals is the affordability of the sensor technology. As industries progress towards digitization, IoT is projected to play a significant role in driving data-driven operations.

The rising smartphone penetration, the number of internet users, and the high adoption rate of social media platforms are key factors supporting the market growth in the coming years. Furthermore, the availability of fast internet services is also driving the growth of IoT across the industry verticals, positively impacting the database management system market expansion.

Restraints:

• High Implementation and Maintenance Costs: Setting up a DBMS, especially enterprise-grade relational and hybrid systems, involves high licensing, infrastructure, and maintenance costs. This is a barrier for small and medium enterprises that lack the resources to adopt advanced solutions.
• Data Security and Privacy Concerns: With rising cyber threats and stricter regulations such as GDPR, organizations face challenges in ensuring data protection within DBMS platforms. Any breach or mishandling of sensitive information can undermine trust and increase compliance risks.
