The new European Data Market study aimed to offer a meaningful and comprehensive understanding of the main characteristics of the EU data economy. In addition, activities were dedicated to providing reports about various aspects of the European data economy including quantitative facts and figures not yet covered by the indicators themselves. Finally, activities on the development of the community of data-related stakeholders across Europe were further supported with regular updates on the EU data landscape.
Final study report
The final study report presents a set of indicators measuring data professionals, the data skills gap, the value of the data market, the number of data provider and user companies and their revenues, as well as the overall impact of the data economy on the EU27’s GDP. All indicators are presented for the years 2020 to 2023 and offer forecasts for 2025 up to 2030, exploring three potential development scenarios: baseline, high growth, and pessimistic scenarios.
