Among the above three, global Hadoop market is growing at rapid pace as it provides cost effective and faster data processing of Big Data analytics over traditional data analysis tools.

Hadoop was originally developed to address the big data needs of Web and media companies, but today it’s being used around the world to address a wider set of data needs, big and small, in practically every industry. When the Apache Hadoop project was initially released, it had two primary components: 1. A storage component called HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System) that works on low-cost, commodity hardware.
2. A resource management and processing component called MapReduce.
Hadoop software revenue was $209.2 million or 11 percent of the total big data software market in 2012. Apache Hadoop being open source, the revenue growth of the Hadoop software market, compared to the hardware or the services markets, is substantially smaller. The 2012 estimation was that the comprehensive Hadoop market (combined hardware, software, & services) bagged 23 percent of the big data market in 2012, which was projected to grow to 31 percent in 2013.
The IDC estimates for Hadoop-as-a-service market in 2012 was about $130 million, projected to grow by 145 percent to $318 million in 2013.
It is difficult to break down the above figures among the different layers of the big data services architecture, but the success of the market in general will largely depend on business demands, in-premises talent pool, and the technology strengths and weaknesses of service-partner ecosystem.
