Market Dynamics
Driver: Help with aligning organizational core work with business objectives
Organizations are rapidly working toward streamlining their business processes to achieve operational efficiencies and higher revenues. The business objectives can be achieved by delivering better products and services, enhancing businesses operations, and designing growth strategies. Cognitive services offer a systematic way to attain these objectives by reducing the efforts required to work on repetitive tasks. For instance, digital assistants are used in various verticals to carry out simple tasks, and are built with an aim to interpret and respond to plain texts and voice questions. Organizations can reduce the human efforts required to complete tasks by deploying digital assistants into their operations. Hence, the digital assistants enable employees to concentrate on their core work by reducing the time required to complete the tasks. Apart from the digital assistants, various APIs that include vision, speech, text, and search capabilities are playing a crucial role in the process of automation and data analysis. For instance, Microsoft is offering its Cognitive Services Text Analytics APIs to BlueBolt Solutions, a Microsoft partner. The cognitive services would be used to automate the process of document classification, as a result, data experts can save hundreds of hours required to classify the documents. These examples show that cognitive services are becoming crucial in automating various business processes, thereby helping organizations focus on achieving their business objectives.
Restraint: Stringent external regulations across regions
Cognitive services offered in the form of APIs and SDKs are playing a crucial role in enabling organizations to integrate intelligent capabilities with their business applications. Cognitive service providers help various end-user verticals in data analysis processes, which, in turn, helps them solve their business challenges. For instance, in the healthcare vertical, data is generated in large volumes, which include patients history, clinical trials, reports, medical images, medical claims, and patients behavior. The healthcare vertical can use this information for drug discovery, and Research and Development (R&D) by using cognitive services. Healthcare organizations, therefore, need to utilize this data for completing these tasks. However, there are several regulations imposed by various government authorities for accessing such data. For instance, the US government has passed a law called the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) that focuses on safeguarding patients information. Apart from that, in the European region, the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) is designed to restrict companies from accessing customers data. These regulations restrict end-user verticals from sharing customers data with cognitive service providers, which may restrain the growth of the cognitive services market.
Opportunity: Growing use of cognitive services across various industry verticals
To leverage the benefits of cognitive services, the demand for cognitive services is expected to grow across various verticals. These verticals include healthcare, retail, finance, education, and manufacturing, which would focus on taking the advantages of computer vision, machine learning, NLP, speech recognition, and text recognition technologies. For instance, in the telecommunications vertical, Microsoft helped Telefonica build a cognitive agent for multiple services. By deploying Microsofts Azure Bot Service and Cognitive Services, Telefonica could quickly build its cognitive agent. Cognitive agents can easily communicate with customers. Apart from that, Stylelabs, a US-based company, is also using Microsoft Cognitive Services to personalize the customer experience. Stylelabs deployed services such as Vision API that would enable automatic scanning of thousands of photos for facial recognition. In addition to this, other verticals are expected to deploy cognitive services in the coming years, as these services offer various benefits such as automation of multiple business processes and reduction of operational costs. The adoption of cognitive services is, therefore, expected to grow in the coming years.
Challenge: Lack of awareness across the industry
The primary issue that most organizations face across the sector is the lack of analytic understanding. The dearth of in-depth analytic knowledge continues to be a concern for organizations. As a result, there is a growing need for educating industries to leverage the cognitive technology for their overall benefit. Recruiting and retaining technical resources has become a significant focus for many enterprises. However, enterprises can skip this step by opting for cognitive services, as service providers host their professionals for data analysis. To stay competitive in the market, industries need to be aware of the advantage of deploying cognitive services. Thus, the lack of awareness across industries is expected to be a significant restraint to the growth of the global cognitive services market.
