Natural Language Processing Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2018-2028

The Global Natural Language Processing (NLP) Market is growing rapidly owing to the increasing demand for more automation software and solutions after the surge in Covid-19 pandemic. Natural language processing is becoming the foundational technology model for the next normal. Many enterprises are adopting natural language processing as a cost-effective solution to bolster employee productivity. The high usage for natural language processing solutions across various industries has become one of the significant factors offering cutting edge services for better efficiency, scalability, and customers’ experience. Moreover, the growth of the market is on account of the increasing adoption of the big data, cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), 5G Infrastructure, use of real-time analytics enabled by Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) across the globe during the forecast period. Technology has become the key enabler of excellence and businesses are gradually becoming mobile as digitalization emerges, which is expected to drive the global natural language processing market during the forecast period.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a subset of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that integrates computational linguistics and rule-based modeling of human language with machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL) and statistical models. The combination allows a variety of methodologies to analyze the ambiguities in human languages including text or speech data recognition, automated summarization, disambiguation, entity and relation extraction and sentiment analysis. This also drives the computer programs that translate text from one language to another and summarize vast amounts of text rapidly in real time. Natural language processing does also play a great role in enterprise solutions for streamlining business operations, simplifying mission-critical business procedures, and increasing employee productivity. The role of this direction is the development of methods for automatic analysis and human language presentation to facilitate user’s work and satisfy the desire to communicate in natural language with the computers. This enables smooth workload migration behind machine intelligence and process in many modern real-world applications such as spam detection, virtual agents and chatbots, machine translation, social media sentiment analysis and text summarizations. Many NLP related software tasks such as morphological and syntactic analysis, have been successfully addressed and integrated for usage on the internet.

Rising Demand and Adoption of Cloud-based Technologies

The exponential growth and the massive adoption of cloud-based technologies is driving the natural language processing market globally owing to the recent developments in cloud computing. Cloud computing software and services such as Google cloud natural language, Microsoft Azure Cognitive services, third-party options, and software as services are enabling services to automate workflows based on unstructured data and offer a huge space for NLP technology and vendors to grow and expand geographically. Furthermore, the continuous technical advancement to provide low-cost and flexible on-demand computing infrastructure with good service reliability is enabling the growing adoption of cloud-based technologies. Thus, this rising adoption is expected to drive the natural language processing market.

Increasing Adoption of Technologies in the Healthcare Sector
