Market drivers:

The demand for cloud-based collaboration tools, content management solutions, and online streaming platforms has picked up. All organizations use analytics to improve decision-making and automate processes for increased productivity and cost-effectiveness. To meet the demands of clients, new entrants use machine learning for activities ranging from designing games, translating language, predicting future market trends, composing music, as well as diagnosing diseases.

Key deterrents to the growth of the market:

Customers often show concerns about sharing information since their sensitive data may get leaked resulting in difficulty in implementation of cloud-based ML applications for most entrepreneurs. The infrastructure of the IT industry in third-world countries is not developed enough to enhance cloud-based business activities. When system requirements are omitted or not fully met due to human error intervention in the development, testing, or verification processes, system defects in data flow occur.
