LONDON, July 8, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

The worldwide market for artificial intelligence software will expand to $98.8

billion by 2025, rising by a factor of six from $16.4 billion in 2025—despite

the varying effects of the COVID-19 pandemic across different industries,

according to Omdia.

The artificial intelligence (AI) software market has experienced tremendous

growth over the past several years. While the COVID-19 pandemic has dampened

growth forecasts for the market, its impact is uneven across industry sectors.

While some industries are retrenching—such as energy, oil, gas, and mining—a

few markets, like healthcare, are accelerating AI adoption. Omdia has developed

four market scenarios based on the duration of the pandemic and the severity of

its economic effect. Omdia's moderate scenario presented in this press release

foresees continued double-digit growth ahead, although the cumulative market

size for 2019-2025 will be reduced by 22 percent compared to the pre-COVID

forecasts.

End users focus on what AI software can do. As a result, Omdia has built a

taxonomy of 340 AI use cases across 23 industry sectors that captures the

software opportunity related to AI. The use cases explain how and why customers

are deploying AI. They help distinguish market reality, i.e., actual deployment

and usage, from market hype. Use cases driving the AI software market include

voice/speech recognition, video surveillance, customer service and marketing

virtual digital assistants (VDAs), network/IT operations monitoring and

management, and supply chain and inventory management.

"Economic effects from the COVID-19 pandemic have widened the dichotomy between

early AI adopters—the 'AI haves'—and the trailing followers—the 'AI have

nots,'" said Omdia senior analyst, Neil Dunay. "Industries that have pioneered

AI deployments and have the largest AI investments are likely to continue to

invest in what they view as proven, indispensable technology for cost cutting,

revenue generation, and enhancing customer experience."
