Data analytics is a booming business. Amid the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), the global data analytics market is now valued at more than $61bn and is expected to top $580bn by 2033. 

According to Dwomoh, studies indicate that companies that use local market expertise can experience a 30% increase in penetration and consumer engagement.
