Other industries

There are various other industries today that benefit from data science and as such, it has become so common that it would be impractical to list all, but at a high level, some of the others include the following:

• Oil and natural gas for oil production
• Meteorology for understanding weather patterns
• Space research for detecting and/or analyzing stars and galaxies
• Utilities for energy production and energy savings
• Biotechnology for research and finding new cures for diseases

In general, since data science, or machine learning algorithms are not specific to any particular industry, it is entirely possible to apply algorithms to creative use cases and derive business benefits.
