Asset Managers Increase Spending On Alternative Data
Money managers, including hedge funds and asset managers, spent $2.8 billion on alternative data in 2025, a 17% increase from 2024, consultancy Neudata reported. The report projects spending could reach as high as $23 billion by 2030 in a bull case, noting artificial intelligence has reduced data-cleaning costs and broadened access. Increased vendor entrants and web-scraping datasets drove last year's growth.
