Ukuhlaziywa kwedatha enkulu emkhakheni wezokunakekelwa kwempilo kuye kwathuthukisa ukunemba, ukuhambisana kanye nesivinini sokuqoqwa kwedatha.
Eminyakeni yamuva, imboni yezokwelapha iye yaba nezinguquko ezinkulu. Lokhu kufaka phakathi ukusetshenziswa kwentuthuko yakamuva yezobuchwepheshe ukuhlangabezana nesidingo sabathengi sokunakekelwa kwezokwelapha okuthengekayo. Izinhlelo zokusebenza zezempilo kuma-smartphone, i-telemedicine, okokusebenza kwezokwelapha okugqokekayo, imishini yokukhipha impahla ezenzakalelayo, njll. bonke ubuchwepheshe obukhuthaza impilo. Ukuhlaziywa kwedatha enkulu emkhakheni wezokunakekelwa kwempilo kuyisici esihlanganisa wonke la mathrendi ngokuguqula amabhayithi edatha engahlelekile ibe imininingwane ebalulekile yebhizinisi.
Ngokombiko we-International Data Corporation (IDC) oxhaswe yi-Seagate Technology, ukuhlaziywa kwedatha enkulu emkhakheni wezokunakekelwa kwezempilo kulindeleke ukuthi kukhule ngokushesha kunezinsizakalo zezezimali, ezokukhiqiza, ezokuvikela, umthetho, noma imidiya. Ngokwezilinganiso, ngo-2025, izinga lokukhula elihlanganisiwe lonyaka (CAGR) lokuhlaziywa kwedatha yezokwelapha lizofinyelela ku-36%. Ngokombono wezibalo, ngo-2022, idatha enkulu yomhlaba wonke yemakethe yesevisi yezokwelapha idinga ukufinyelela ezigidini eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-34.27 zamadola ase-U.S., ngenani lentuthuko elihlanganisiwe lonyaka lama-22.07%.
