Enterprise Metadata Management Market Insights 2025

Market Overview

The global Enterprise Metadata Management market was valued at approximately USD 2.4 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow to USD 5.2 billion by 2032, expanding at a CAGR of 8.96% over 2022–2030 . Some forecasts estimate even stronger growth—reaching USD 23.1 billion by 2029 at a 21.2% CAGR—driven by real-time metadata processing, AI-infused data catalogs, and semantic metadata integrations.

Key catalysts include skyrocketing data volumes, stricter governance and compliance regulations (GDPR, CCPA), and widespread adoption of cloud, big data, and AI architectures. Enterprises are using metadata to enable data discovery, lineage, quality, and overall data-driven operations.
