Description

Data Annotation Market: by Data Type (Text, Image/Video, and Audio), by Annotation Type (Automated Annotation, and Manual Annotation), and by Application (Healthcare, Automotive, IT & Telecom, Agriculture, BSFI, Government, Retail, and Others)–Global Industry Sizing, Growth, Trend, Opportunity, and Forecast (2021–2027)

Data Annotation Industry Outlook

The data annotation market size was valued at USD XX billion in 2020 and is estimated to register a modest CAGR of XX% during the forecast period (2021-2027). Data annotation is the process of organizing unstructured data into structured information, which makes it usable for machine learning. It gives labels to the data available in the form of images, text, and videos. Data annotation tools benefit the machine learning algorithm to get labeled data so that machines can easily and clearly understand the input and provide an accurate result. These data annotation tools improve the accuracy of output and enhance the end-user experience. Increasing usage of artificial intelligence in various industries is anticipated to fuel the demand for data annotation tools as the labeled data help machine learning tools in critical areas, such as image recognition and voice recognition.

Data Annotation Market Dynamics

Growing usage of AI in various industries such as automotive, healthcare, banking, and financial services, changing technologies, and adoption of advanced technologies are boosting the growth of the data annotation market. Data annotation tools support automotive manufacturers in developing smart applications such as voice recognition and Natural Language Processing (NLP). Further, advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and advanced predictive analytics generate huge data. Therefore with changing technology, data efficiency proves to be necessary for creating new business innovations, economies, and infrastructures are major factors propelling the market's growth.

Increasing innovations in the retail segment in improving the e-commerce sector using data annotation tools are estimated to fuel the market's growth during the forecast period. For instance, in 2019, Walmart Labs acquired an Indian startup, Dataturks, which provides tools for text and image by using machine learning. This acquisition helped Walmart to innovate in quality and other aspects of merchandising platform. Additionally, various companies are investing funds to develop data annotation to gain a competitive edge in the market. For instance, in 2018, Hive, a data labeling service provider, raised funds worth USD 30 million in venture capital from Paypal founder Peter Theil’s founder's funds and others.

Impact of COVID-19 on Data Annotation Market:

Further, the outbreak of the covid-19 pandemic has raised the demand for data annotation in the healthcare sector as hospitals are implementing artificial intelligence and machine learning to reduce the spread of coronavirus cases globally. However, inaccurate data labels because of the low quality of content and lack of a skilled workforce can hamper the growth of the global data annotation market. With manual annotation, the employee may label erroneous labeling on data, and time to detect such error may vary, which further add cost to the whole annotation process; moreover, with the development of algorithms and improvement in annotation tools, reduction of dependency on manual annotation and cost of the tools in the upcoming year.
