The pace with which data is created, analyzed, and shared continues to accelerate. The relentless flow of data contributes to a growing torrent of information, shaping how individuals and businesses engage with the world, but what does this constant stream of data really look like?
Domo, the AI and data products platform, has released its annual “Data Never Sleeps” report, offering a fascinating snapshot of the staggering volume of data generated every minute.
Each year, Domo adds new features to the colorful wheel. The 12th edition of the report includes additional data points on artificial intelligence (AI), alongside insights from social media, gaming, and other online activities.
The statistics from the Domo report highlight the ongoing dominance of remote and hybrid work, along with the importance of team collaboration. Zoom sees 288 downloads per minute, while Microsoft Teams logs 229 million meeting minutes. Additionally, Slack makes its mark with over one million messages sent every minute.
Streaming giant Netflix saw a decline in viewership. It is down 19% from 2021. However, other entertainment platforms, such as Snapchat and TikTop have seen an uptick in engagement. Snapchat uploads have risen by 37% since 2022, while TikTok uploads 16,000 videos every minute. Despite the rise of alternative platforms, Facebook and Instagram are still playing 138.9 million reels every minute.
One alarming statistic from the latest Domo report reveals that 4,080 records are compromised in data breaches every minute. The growing frequency and scale of breaches emphasize the critical need for stronger data protection protocols.
DoorDash diners made an appearance in the report, placing $126,763 in orders every 60 seconds during Cyber Week. Additionally, shoppers worldwide spent $43.6 million on purchases in the same timeframe. This underscores the remarkable growth and impact of the online shopping and delivery sector. With more AI being used in retail, we expect this trend to continue over the next few years.
Domo reports that the total volume of data created, captured, copied, and consumed globally is projected to reach 149 zettabytes by the end of this year. As the volume and complexity of data grow rapidly, organizations are increasingly focusing on their ability to transform this information into actionable insights. A pivotal technology driving this transformation is GenAI.
“The phenomenal acceleration of generative AI over the past two years has dominated the digital conversation, and this year’s Data Never Sleeps shows how we’ve reached a new tipping point – AI is primed to dethrone competitive mainstays of the internet era,“ said Josh James, founder and CEO of Domo.
“In the year ahead, we’ll be watching how this shift changes our broad range of digital activity, impacts the competitive landscape, and accelerates corporate investment in AI-ready data and tech.”
Introduced in 2013, the Data Never Sleeps report has tracked the world’s data usage over the last decade, revealing shifts in activity across various online platforms. Comparing the stats from last year’s report, Google searches have decreased by 6%, from 6.3 million to 5.9 million. This shift may reflect changes in user behavior, including the rise of AI-powered tools that provide direct answers, reducing the need for traditional searches.
Siri answers more than 1 million questions every minute, while Google’s Gemini draws 8,574 visitors in the same timeframe, reflecting the growing role of AI in everyday tasks.
James emphasized, “As AI accelerates, businesses need to make their data and technology ready to leverage its advantages with speed and confidence, and our annual report showcases how critical it is for businesses to start flexing its competitive power now.”
If you were expecting Domo’s report to have more AI-related entries, don’t be disappointed. Domo already released a standalone Data Never Sleeps: AI Edition report earlier this year. That report provided a closer look at the massive amount of AI data generated every minute and its impact on daily life.
Commenting on how AI has impacted data creation, Ben Schein, SVP of Product at Domo shared, “When ChatGPT brought LLMs into the spotlight, it opened everyone’s eyes to just how impactful AI can be. We’ve seen a flood of AI applications emerge as a result,”
“Domo has reported on data volumes for over a decade and the way AI has impacted data creation rivals that of the early days of social media platforms. This special AI edition gives a glimpse at just how much volume we’re seeing in this AI boom.”
