Cognitive Computing Market Growth Momentum: Which Factors Are Influencing Demand?
The expanding volume of unstructured data is anticipated to drive the advancement of the cognitive computing market in the future. Unstructured data constitutes information lacking a predefined model or predetermined organization, which complicates its processing and analysis with traditional databases and tools. Cognitive computing employs analysis, interpretation, and comprehension of natural language, images, and patterns, allowing machines to emulate human decision-making when dealing with unstructured data. For example, reports from Sphereco, a US-based software firm, in May 2024, indicate that unstructured data is expanding rapidly, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 61%, as per IDC. Projections suggest that by 2025, structured data will constitute merely 20% of the total global data. Consequently, the rising volume of unstructured data is a key impetus for the expansion of the cognitive computing market.
