Global Data Annotation Tools Market Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, By Medium (Audio, Text, Image, Video), By Annotation Type (Manual, Automated), By End User (IT, Automotive, Government, Healthcare, Financial Services, Retail, Others), By Region - 2022 – 2027
Data Annotation Tools Market
The Global Data Annotation Tools Market was valued at USD 750 Mn in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 3,073.3 Mn by 2027, at a CAGR of 26.5% from 2022-2027.
By labelling or adding attribute tags to data, users are able to increase the value of the information. The main advantage of employing annotation tools is that the combination of data attributes allows users to manage the data definition at a single site and removes the need to duplicate similar rules in different places.
Market Drivers
The rise of the market is mostly being driven by the rising usage of photo data annotation tools in the retail, automotive, and healthcare sectors.
The business for data annotation is also anticipated to profit from the increasing need for machine learning advancements as well as the increasing investment in cutting-edge automated driving technologies. Data efficiency is crucial for developing new business ideas, infrastructure, and economies because of emerging technologies like IoT, ML, Robotics, Predictive Analytics, and AI. These factors are considerably aiding the market's expansion.
Market Restraints
The inaccuracy of data annotation technologies limits the market's expansion. Issues relating to inaccurately labeled data quality are the market's main obstacle. The cost of the annotation process can increase if the data that was manually labeled contains incorrect labeling. It can also take longer to find these incorrect labels. The accuracy of automated data annotation tools is increasing, though, as more complex algorithms are developed, which will soon result in a decrease in the need for manual annotation and a decrease in tool costs.
Market Segmentation
The Global Data Annotation Tools Market is segmented into media types of audio, text, image, and video, as well as annotation types of manual or automated. The market is additionally divided by end-user sectors including IT, Automotive, Government, Healthcare, Financial Services, Retail, and Others.
Regional Analysis
The market share is anticipated to be dominated by North America. This will be a result of the market vendors' extensive geographic and product expansion strategy. Furthermore, throughout the projection period, the European market is anticipated to experience a consistent expansion, while the market in Asia-Pacific is anticipated to demonstrate the maximum CAGR. Especially in the Financial, Retail, and automotive verticals, emerging economies in the Asia Pacific area have tremendous potential for the broad adoption of data annotation technologies.
Key Developments
In February 2023, IIT-Madras Research Park partnered with NASSCOM to set up a data annotation center in Tamil Nadu, India.
November 2022 RedBrick AI, a HealthTech business, received $4.6 million from a seed investment round led by Sequoia India and Southeast Asia's Surge, with support from Y Combinator and other investors.
