Content analytics, discovery, and cognitive software market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 13.7% during the forecast period. The software is used collectively or individually by organizations to analyze and extract insights from unstructured data such as customer interaction, purchase history, search history, and many others. The industry is expected to grow owing to the boom in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technology across industries to enhance data processing capabilities increase in regular generation of unstructured data, rising use of analytical software for data extraction and strategy formation, and investment by private players to enhance data learning models.

Market Dynamics

Rising Adoption of Intelligent Automation

The growth in content analytics, discovery, and cognitive software market is driven by the rising adoption of intelligent automation in several industries to increase productivity and efficiency within the organization. For instance, according to the report by World Economic Forum, by 2025, automation and a new division of labor between humans and machines will disrupt 85 million jobs globally in medium and large businesses across 15 industries and 26 economies and more than 80.0% of business executives are accelerating plans to digitize work processes and deploy new technologies, while 50.0% of employers are expecting to accelerate the automation of some roles in their companies.

A large amount of Unstructured Data

Organizations are generating and accumulating vast amounts of data from within and beyond, which is very significant for data extraction and processing. Such processes require sophisticated software for processing, analysis, discovery, and insight collection. Nowadays, most companies are aiming to leverage such data for business insights. For instance, as per World Economic Forum, the globe generates 500 million tweets, 294 billion emails, 4 petabytes of data are created on Facebook, 4 terabytes of data are created from each connected car, 65 billion messages are sent on WhatsApp, and 5 billion searches are made every day which is estimated to contribute to 463 exabytes of data globally by 2025.

Segmental Outlook

Based on function type, the market is segmented into test software (in multiple languages), and rich media tagging (audio, video & image).

Based on end users, the market is segmented into government & public services, finance, banking & insurance, it & telecom, media & web publishing, healthcare & pharmaceuticals, retail, and others (transport & real estate).

Test Software is Projected to Emerge as a Bigger Market

The software testing market may emerge as a bigger market as compared to rich media tagging, it is used to evaluate and verify that a software product or application performs as intended, aiming to prevent bugs and improve performance. It includes a wide range of testing such as acceptance testing, integration testing, unit testing, functional testing, performance testing, regression testing, security testing, and usability testing. It requires a complex process and highly skilled individuals to perform the task while its cost and time can be substantially depreciated using cognitive software making it a bigger market for the software.

Retail Is One of the Major End-user

The retail sector remains a front-runner in the adoption and use of cognitive ability software due to its large customer base and data generation. The industry uses content analysis and discovery to understand market trends, customer emotions, competitor activities, and strategy creation. For instance, as per the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) 2024 industry report, 22.0% of firms are aggressively pursuing the integration of AI across a wide variety of technology products and business workflows, 33.0% of firms are engaging in the limited implementation of AI and 45.0% of firms are still in the exploration phase.

Regional Outlook

The global content analytics, discovery, and cognitive software market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (the UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).
