Hot Off the Press: The State of Data Delivery 2025 Report

We’re excited to share that the State of Data Delivery 2025 report is now live.

‍

At Monda, we help data providers grow their data businesses. And over the past few months, one thing has become increasingly clear:

‍

Data delivery is essential for data providers to grow their businesses and monetize data successfully.

‍

As data commerce matures, so do buyer expectations. Today’s data buyers want more than just a dataset—they expect:

• Customized data products
• Delivered to their cloud of choice
• With zero friction

‍

To understand where the industry stands - and where it’s headed - we surveyed over 25 data providers across a range of sizes, segments, and technical maturity levels on how they're sharing data with customers today.

‍

The result is our inaugural industry report: The State of Data Delivery 2025.

‍

Here’s a preview of what we found:

1. APIs & Cloud Warehouses Are Now Table Stakes: Data APIs and direct delivery to cloud data platforms (like Snowflake, BigQuery, and Databricks) are becoming the standard for modern providers.

2. Unstructured Data Is in High Demand: Buyers are increasingly asking for unstructured data formats—likely accelerated by the rise of AI/ML use cases.

3. Customization Is Creating Bottlenecks: While tailored data products are highly valued by buyers, delivering them at scale remains a major operational challenge for many teams.

‍

The big takeaway?

‍

Frictionless, scalable, and customizable delivery is becoming central to monetization.

‍

Great datasets are no longer enough. To truly succeed in the data economy, providers must deliver those datasets in the formats, frequencies, and destinations that their customers expect. And they need to be empowered to do this as simply as possible, with reduced egress costs, and with minimal engineering input.
