At a time when every enterprise looks to leverage generative artificial intelligence, data sites are turning their attention to graph databases and knowledge graphs. The global graph database market size was $2.12 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow to $10.3 billion in 2032, according to estimates from Adroit Research. These databases enable data managers and analysts to model, store, and query complex and increasingly interconnected relationships between datapoints. They also are employed to construct knowledge graphs that can cut through data silos, enable semantic searches, and support chatbots and recommendation engines.
