Analytical insights on Machine Learning Market covering market dynamics, competitive landscape, and strategic outlook.
The Machine Learning Market market is projected to reach $30.69B by 2024, growing at 40.4% CAGR. The Hardware segment holds the largest share.
The adoption of cloud computing has been increasing at an unprecedented rate. Organizations are increasingly using software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and infrastructure as a service (IaaS) solutions due to the benefits they offer in terms of return on investments. Cloud-based services offer increased scalability and security, which has made it more attractive to businesses of all sizes. This growth in the adoption of cloud-based services has positively impacted the global machine learning market. Companies such as Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have invested heavily in the development of machine learning and AI. Cloud platforms such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform have started offering machine learning and deep learning-based services, which have benefitted the progress in the development of machine learning models. The cloud-based machine learning services offer a pay-per-use model for large AI or machine learning workloads. These services significantly benefited companies building sophisticated machine learning and deep learning models which require large compute clusters. Cloud-based machine learning services have offered low-cost options for moving machine learning models to the cloud and have eliminated the problem of the need for deep knowledge of AI or a team of data scientists for the development of machine learning models. These benefits and the increasing adoption of cloud-based machine learning services are driving the growth of the global machine learning market.
Agri technology and precision farming have given rise to new scientific fields that use data-intensive approaches to drive agricultural productivity while minimizing its environmental impact. Machine learning has emerged as an ideal solution to deal with analytics of different types of data involved in digital and precision farming. Machine learning algorithms such as ANN, CNN, RNN, DNN, and DBN offer significant opportunities for different application areas in precision farming such as yield prediction, disease detection, weed detection, crop quality analytics, species recognition, livestock management, water management, and soil management.
In the field of medicine, machine learning has potential applications in drug discovery and computational biology. Machine learning and deep learning models are expected to transform the field of drug discovery due to the advantages that they offer in terms of predicting new molecular entities to match with the genomes of patients.
Marketing automation is another field which is expected to be transformed by machine learning models in the coming years. Machine learning is used to provide a convenient, informed, and intelligent customer experience. It is a tool that can be used to gain a competitive advantage and drive enterprise growth. Machine learning technology has transformed marketing to ensure enhanced customer experience by offering rapid, automated, and hassle-free services. These products and services include virtual assistants and chatbots. Presently, customers prefer voice-activated virtual assistants such as Apple’s Siri and Amazon Alexa to search for products online and control home appliances, among other functions. Enterprises also use machine learning for customer analytics as it offers them the opportunity to improve customer experience and pave the way for new revenue streams. The advantages that machine learning models offer in the fields of agriculture, healthcare, and marketing automation present a noteworthy growth opportunity for the global machine learning market.
The demand for machine learning is growing significantly due to its advantages, such as improved efficiency and cost reduction. However, the designing and creation of machine learning models require a high level of skilled expertise as they are highly complex. The solutions that machine learning offers to businesses are very critical for gaining a competitive advantage in their respective markets, which has further increased the need for skilled labor. There is a remarkable lack of technical experts for both software and hardware development in the field. According to Tencent, there are just around 300,000 AI practitioners and researchers globally, while the demand for machine learning skilled human resources is in the millions. The limited availability of skilled human resources in the field of artificial intelligence has driven companies to gain skills by acquiring innovative startups. The recent examples of such acquisitions include Microsoft acquiring Maluuba, TomTom acquiring Autonomous, and Uber acquiring Geometic. Companies such as Google, have teamed up with MOOC pioneer Coursera to launch online courses to increase the awareness and skills of professionals in machine learning. However, the lack of skilled professional in the research and development of artificial intelligence technology, at present, is expected to hamper the growth of the global machine learning market in the short term.
Supervised learning technique which is predominantly used for training machine learning models requires labeled data for training. The availability of labeled data poses a considerable challenge for multiple machine learning projects as the process of labeling is not automated. Tasks such as speech recognition and image recognition require a high level of abstraction and hence a large number of parameters and data for training the machine learning algorithms. Researchers developing machine learning algorithms have to feed terabytes of data to the machine learning algorithms for them to perform basic tasks such as learning a language. This process is highly time-consuming and requires tremendous data processing capabilities. Furthermore, the availability of datasets required for training is low for certain areas such as industrial applications. The requirement of massive datasets for training machine learning algorithms and high processing capabilities to perform the training process are together considered to be a challenge for the machine learning market. However, efforts are being made to bypass and reduce the high requirement of data sets for training machine learning algorithms through approaches such as the use of small datasets for automatically creating new and similar data.
Near-term growth will likely concentrate in modular bioreactor lines and closed-system media workflows that shorten validation cycles while preserving batch traceability.
Partnerships between CDMOs and instrumentation vendors should accelerate standard datasets for comparability across sites, improving forecasting models used in capacity planning.
Longer horizon, organoid and microphysiological adoption may reshape segment mix; teams that invest early in assay interoperability and cloud QC hooks are better positioned to capture upside without fragmenting their analytics stack.
