29% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Anaconda is a titan providing leading problem-solving tech for data science and machine learning applications. Anaconda began back in 2009 marshalling tools for Python use in data science, and has no doubt helped consolidate Python’s position as the language of preference in this field. This tight relationship means Anaconda is primed to continue a strong and dominant trajectory.
More companies than ever are increasing their data science investments, as large pools of digital data become increasingly available and vital across most areas of business. Machine learning is seeing a similar uptick in demand, and is providing fertile and future-focused opportunities for a similarly broad sweep of industries. This suggests that Anaconda’s large customer base, with approximately 30 million users across over 235 countries and regions, and partnerships with the likes of Intel and IBM, is likely to see robust consolidation and growth over the coming years.
The increasing importance of these highly dynamic and changing sectors means there is real appetite for tools that help organizations develop data literacy - and Anaconda is the market’s go-to platform to get there. The company is looking to maintain its strong momentum through new acquisitions, such as PythonAnywhere, thereby strengthening the breadth of its Python offerings.
