According to research from Crisil Coalition Greenwich and highlighted by Markets Media in “AI, Machine Learning Will Drive Market Data Delivery & Consumption,” asset managers are rapidly reshaping how they consume market data.
Nearly 80% expect AI and machine learning to be major drivers in the next two years, with real-time data now used not just in trading but across risk, compliance, and portfolio analytics. Budgets for market data are rising, particularly for index, risk, historical tick, and crypto data, while cloud delivery is becoming the dominant model—63% of firms already receive data via public cloud, up from 30% last year.
Firms are also shifting toward vendor-streamed feeds rather than sourcing directly from exchanges, underscoring the growing need for robust data quality, governance, and management practices as the complexity and regulatory importance of market data accelerates.
