Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in natural language processing, multichannel and omnichannel support, voice-enabled intelligent virtual assistants, increased adoption in customer service, integration with business applications, cross-platform integration with smart devices.

The growth of the intelligent virtual assistant market is being driven by an increasing demand for self-service options. Self-service refers to a practice where consumers access resources to resolve issues independently, without the need for a service agent. This trend has evolved alongside advancing digital technologies, as customers have become more accustomed to online shopping and communication. Self-service solutions are now prevalent across nearly all industries, empowering customers to take a more active role in their experience. As the demand for self-service options rises, there will be a corresponding need for automated yet personalized chat services, primarily provided through the use of intelligent virtual assistants. For example, in 2023, the European Commission reported that 92% of individuals aged 16 to 74 had used the internet in the previous year. Additionally, 70% of respondents had purchased or ordered goods or services online, representing a 2% increase from 2022. Among internet users in the EU, 75% made online purchases in 2023. Therefore, the growing demand for self-service options is fueling the expansion of the intelligent virtual assistant market.

The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the intelligent virtual assistant market. AI, simulating human intelligence in computer systems, involves algorithms, software, and hardware enabling machines to perform tasks requiring human-like intelligence. Intelligent virtual assistants leverage AI for enhanced natural language processing, improved machine learning, superior speech recognition, and efficient user intent recognition. A report by Forbes Media LLC in April 2023 projects a 37. 3% yearly growth rate for the AI field between 2023 and 2030. Currently, 35% of businesses have integrated AI into their operations, while 42% are in the exploratory phase, considering AI implementation in the coming years. The increased adoption of AI is thus expected to be a driving force for the growth of the intelligent virtual assistant market.

Technological advancement is a prominent trend shaping the intelligent virtual assistant market. Major companies in the industry are dedicated to developing advanced technological solutions, including user preferences and privacy features, to fortify their market position. These advancements offer improved accuracy and output, ease of use, and user privacy protection. For instance, in April 2022, Skoda Auto AS expanded its conversational AI solution, 'Laura,' to cover new European regions. Laura, an intelligent chatbot aiding customers in the vehicle selection process, is designed to engage with customers across Europe in their native language.

Strategic partnerships are a favored approach among major companies in the intelligent virtual assistant industry to deliver essential services. This approach involves leveraging each other's strengths and resources for mutual benefits. In February 2022, IBM collaborated with TD Securities to create an AI-powered virtual assistant using IBM Watson Assistant. This virtual assistant assists consumers with inquiries on the TD Precious Metals digital shop, offering a self-service option to simplify the purchasing experience.

In May 2024, Wipro, an IT company based in India, entered into a collaboration with Microsoft for an undisclosed sum.
