Asia/Pacific (Excluding Japan) Information and Data Management Software 2004-2008 Forecast and Analysis

This IDC study forecasts that the Information and Data Management (IDMS) software will continue to grow over the next five years. The study highlights the IDMS software market size by region (12 countries within the region), functional markets, and top vendors estimated revenues and market share for 2003 by region and country. The study also features the growth forecast for 2004 to 2008 by country and by functional markets.

"The IDMS market is a stable mature market where relational database management systems continues to make up the overwhelming majority portion of the market. Another sign of market maturity is the fact that it continues to be dominated by a few vendors that own over 80% market share in the region. However, growth is still expected as end users seek to manage the ever-growing amount of data, and increasingly focus on deriving further information and value from their data," notes Daphne Chung, senior analyst, Asia/Pacific Applications Tools Software, IDC Asia/Pacific
