Global Spending on NLP to Reach $43.4 Billion USD by 2025
A recent report from market intelligence firm Tractica finds that global spending on Natural Language Processing (NLP) software, hardware and services will reach $43.3 billion USD by 2025. An excerpt from the report summary reads:
The ultimate promise of NLP technology is intent-based computing. When machines can understand and communicate with humans in natural (human) language, it democratizes data science, enabling humans to use common everyday language to complete a broad range of tasks from the simple and mundane such as auto-completing an online form to the most complex, such as writing software or optimizing a data network. NLP is a critical technology for extracting insights and analysis from a vast amount of previously unindexed and unstructured data; mining video and audio files, emails, scanned documents, and more.
