The global chatbot market is foreseen to expand from $ 3.6 billion in 2020 to $ 10.4 billion by 2025, at an annual expansion rate (CAGR) of 29.7% during the outlook period 2020 to 2025.
A chatbot is artificial intelligence (AI) based software that can make a human language conversation through messaging apps, websites, mobile, or other platforms. The report covers various end-user segments, such as BFSI, healthcare, travel and hospitality, government and others, where chatbots are implemented in various geographies.
A chatbot is essentially an application based on artificial intelligence that talks to a human to solve a problem or respond to a certain request. This reduces uptime and improves efficiency, which helps market growth. According to Salesforce, 69% of consumers prefer to use chatbots because of the speed at which they can communicate with a brand.
Additionally, the demand for voice-activated smart devices is gaining popularity due to high convenience and fully automated processes. In January 2020, Google introduced its AI-based chatbot Meena. It is a multi-turn open domain chatbot formed end-to-end on the extracted data. Meena's neutral network contains around 2.6 billion parameters.
Chatbots are poised to grow at a significant rate, so companies are poised to embrace the technology in their existing business portfolio. According to MIT Technology Review, 90% of the company reported faster resolution of robot complaints.
Recent Developments:
With the recent COVID-19 outbreak, the chatbot has been increasingly implemented by various organizations to respond to customer inquiries and other related information. Because remote work has been adopted by different organizations due to national blockade, the company relies heavily on chatbots to reduce the burden of customer inquiries due to minimal availability of customer service employees.
In addition, the chatbot provides millions of people with the necessary information about COVID-19 daily. For instance, a Facebook Messenger version launched by WHO in April 2020 through its WHO Health Alert platform offered instant and precise information about COVID-19 using Facebook's global presence.
