By end user, healthcare and life sciences segment will register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Healthcare and life sciences end-users have a higher demand for APIs due to the need for interoperability and seamless data exchange. APIs enable communication between disparate systems, improving patient care and operational efficiency. The shift toward value-based care and patient-centric models accelerates API adoption by facilitating data aggregation and secure sharing. Additionally, APIs support telemedicine expansion and enhance clinical decision-making with real-time data access. Regulatory requirements, such as ensuring patients can easily access their health information, to further drive demand.By region, North America will hold the largest market share of the AI API market during the forecast period.
North America leads AI API adoption, driven by its advanced tech ecosystem, strong industry presence, and government-backed AI initiatives. The U.S. benefits from major AI investments, a dynamic startup landscape, and tech giants like Google and Microsoft advancing AI APIs in finance and healthcare. The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is leveraging OpenAI’s ChatGPT Enterprise API to streamline government operations. In December 2024, Canadian AI startup Cohere, shifted focus to enterprise-specific AI models, optimizing API-driven AI solutions for efficiency. Backed by USD 900 million, Cohere collaborates with Oracle and Fujitsu to deliver AI APIs tailored to business needs. Canada’s investment in AI research and the rising demand for AI-driven APIs in sectors like healthcare and enterprise solutions continue to accelerate adoption.Breakdown of primaries
