Artificial Intelligence Market Overview
The global artificial intelligence market size will be valued at $97 billion by 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 19% over the forecast period. Growing popularity of the metaverse and its integration with artificial intelligence is expected to bode well for market growth over the forecast period. Furthermore, increasing adoption of explainable AI (XAI) , natural language processing (NLP), chatbots in BFSI, retail, and e-commerce, advancements in quantum computing is anticipated to bode well for market growth over the next few years.
For enterprises, accumulating more data means gaining more insights. The value of ‘data’, comprising sensitive information like business plans, intellectual property, correspondence, customer records, etc. has grown over the years, considering the critical insights that it can provide to business owners. AI in this regard help firms generate key insights from data that would otherwise be impossible to uncover. Having such insights helps enterprises to make data-driven decisions, realize data-led innovation, develop new products and services serving customer needs, build business strategies, enhance customers engagement, and automate internal processes. Organizations that deploy AI can achieve step-function improvements in business processes throughout their value chain, resulting in increased business resilience, greater efficiency, improved profitability, and reduced environmental impact. Organizations can also leverage AI as a core enabler of digitalization.
Today, organizations across virtually every industry are deploying enterprise AI applications to address a broad range of use cases across the value chain, from predictive maintenance for a vast array of industrial assets – including aircraft, manufacturing equipment, power generation, and transmission assets, and oil and gas production equipment (compressors, pumps, valves, etc.) – to inventory optimization, fraud detection, anti-money laundering, securities lending optimization, customer retention, and more.

Technology companies are increasingly implementing artificial intelligence in a wide variety of applications including autonomous cars, security systems, virtual assistants, disease detection, gaming, and others. Major companies such as International Business Machines Corp (IBM), Microsoft Corporation, Alphabet Inc, Intel Corp, Apple Inc are investing heavily in the research, development, and implementation of AI technology across industries. As of October 2022, Alphabet Inc. was in talks with Cohere Inc., a developer of natural language processing software to invest $200 million.
The adoption of AI around the globe is anticipated to be significantly impacted by developments in machine learning (ML). Businesses have incorporated ML into platforms or predictive data models that analyse behavioural data. Applications range from identifying bank fraud to determining a person’s credit worthiness, stopping cyberattacks, and displaying tailored advertisements to customers. The ability to personalise marketing efforts depending on linguistic settings, such as social media posts, emails, customer service contacts, and product evaluations, is made possible by natural language processing (NLP), a key application of machine learning (ML). Machines may learn new words and recognise word patterns in spoken language by using NLP algorithms, which can help them become more accurate over time. They can infer a customer’s preferences and purchasing intent by doing this.
The disruption caused by COVID-19 is accelerating the adoption of AI across all industries. For example, according to GlobalData’s 2021 Global Emerging Tech Trends survey, more than 75% of businesses believe AI has played a role in weathering the COVID-19 pandemic. Conversational platforms have become one of the more profitable areas over the past two years due to increased demand for support services. The pandemic has also accelerated AI research in the field of federated learning, enabling collaboration on models without disclosing confidential information.

The MSMEs segment is expected to be the fastest growing segment over the forecast period exceeding over 14% CAGR over the forecast period. However, considering the current scenario, low seed funding from investors to startups owing to a high degree of uncertainty over the global recession is expected to be one of the bottlenecks for market growth over the forecast period. Furthermore, the MSMEs segment continues to witness double-digit growth over the forecast period. This is because MSMEs prefer outsourcing AI services to consulting firms owing to limited IT budgets, vulnerable infrastructure, and lack of skilled resources.
