Cognitive Computing Market Growth Drivers: What’s Behind The Acceleration?
The expansion in the amount of unstructured data is projected to drive the growth of the cognitive computing market. Unstructured data comprises information without a pre-defined data model or organized structure, making it challenging to process and analyze using traditional databases and tools. Cognitive computing offers the capability to analyze, interpret, and comprehend natural language, images, and patterns, thereby enabling machines to emulate human decision-making processes with unstructured data. For instance, in May 2024, Sphereco, a US-based software company, highlighted that unstructured data is experiencing rapid growth, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 61%, as per IDC. By 2025, structured data is forecasted to constitute only 20% of the world’s total data. Therefore, the rising volume of unstructured data is a key factor propelling the cognitive computing market’s growth.
