The global image recognition market was worth USD 77.49 billion in 2023. The global market is predicted to reach USD 92.60 billion in 2024 and USD 385.08 billion by 2032, growing at an annual development rate of 19.5% over the outlook period.
Image recognition plays a crucial role in identifying different features like places, objects, people, and actions in images. Computers implement these machine vision technologies with the help of cameras and artificial intelligence to achieve image recognition. This technique is used to perform a large number of machine-based visual tasks, such as tagging image content with META tags, searching for image content, and guiding autonomous robots and cars. Autonomous systems to prevent accidents.
The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technology is increasing due to its ability to improve and automate operations and enhance the user experience. Governments are also focusing on increasing their artificial intelligence capabilities to revolutionize various sectors, from healthcare to transportation. The EU has pledged to invest USD 1.5 billion in artificial intelligence to catch up with the United States and Asia.
As AI becomes the heart of many technological applications, investments in the sector are increasing. Image recognition is one of the standard features of many AI applications. Therefore, the market is expected to take advantage of fast-growing technology and develop in the coming years.
Images are real and large, and unlike other forms of data, they also cannot be easily falsified. These characteristics make images and big data repositories, and therefore, the exploitation of such precious data an excellent source of information for banks and financial institutions. The BFSI industry has been a great benefactor of artificial intelligence, with companies in this industry relying on technology for various applications like staying competitive in an ever-changing market, personalizing communication, and improving productivity by automating monotonous tasks.
Facebook can now correctly identify and attribute 98% of your images to the right person. Imaging technology is used to identify and remove bogus social accounts. Such identification based on false images has immense potential to enrich banks' credit rating and risk modeling. The images could also be used by insurers in assessing risks and identifying fraud. As image processing and recognition become major applications of AI in various sectors, it should experience positive growth over the forecast period.
New mobile apps allow online shoppers to find the product they want just by taking a photo. The image is loaded into an application that suggests elements that are the same or have similar attributes and even substitutes. Image recognition has the potential to turn an image into a hyperlink, information, coupon, and video. These recognition technologies help consumers instantly collect product information by taking a photo on their mobile device. The advent of new applications like games, price comparison, video search, e-commerce, interactive television, augmented reality (AR), image recognition, shelf recognition, and many more are helping consumers. Consumers instantly collect information from 40 to 50 products on the shelves at the same time just by taking a photo with image recognition technology.
The cost of manufacturing image recognition systems is very high, and the return on investment in physical assets is low. This factor is a major obstacle to the growth of the global image recognition market, as most technologies such as Business Intelligence (BI), knowledge management, customer relationship management (CRM), customer recognition, and enterprise resource planning (ERP) have a huge development cost.
