Recent Data & Analytics Acquisitions
Acquisition Volume in Data & Analytics by Year
Last 5 years
Data & Analytics Deal Activity covers transactions that expand identity, index, AI and marketing analytics, and operational data capabilities. Recent buyers include market-data and exchange groups, analytics consultancies, and software/platform companies such as Experian, Deutsche Börse Group, and Morningstar, Inc. across the United States and Europe.
Acquisitions often add specialist datasets or capabilities — for example, identity and email intelligence (AtData), index and historical market data (Center for Research in Security Prices (CRSP)), LLM-ready corporate filings (Captide), and marketing-mix or shop-floor data integrations (MMM Labs, Scytec). Other common themes are consolidating adjacent data brands and integrating AI-driven analytics into broader platforms.
What Stands Out
- Strategic buyers include market-data and exchange groups as well as analytics and software platform firms (examples: Deutsche Börse Group, Morningstar, Inc., Ekimetrics).
- Identity and contact intelligence deals feature prominently: Experian/ AtData and Intentsify/ Salutary Data strengthen identity, fraud prevention, and contact layers.
- AI and content-to-data capabilities are being acquired to support LLM workflows and customer analytics (examples: Model ML/Captide, Ekimetrics/Actable).
- Marketing analytics, MMM and operational/manufacturing data are targeted for integration into enterprise platforms (examples: ScanmarQED/MMM Labs, Minitab/Scytec).
- Geographic spread of recent deals spans the US, UK, Germany and Austria, and includes both targeted acquisitions and brand consolidations (for example DataOne Software absorbing Cross-Sell).
