Voice Cloning Market

Global Voice Cloning Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The global voice cloning market is predicted to reach USD 1.27 billion in 2024 and USD 4.84 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 30.70% during the forecast period.

Voice cloning is a technique that makes it easier to narrate audiobooks and adds a familiar voice for handling instructions. It allows customers to produce a computer version of their voice at minimal cost and a fraction of the time compared to creating conventional text-to-speech voices. Voice cloning technology combined with artificial intelligence helps improve the convertibility of chatbots and voice assistants. Businesses focus on improving the customer experience by presenting a familiar voice on their products and services. By providing a significantly better customer experience using these solutions, businesses can build meaningful long-term customer relationships. Technology providers are also adopting advanced technologies to develop effective voice cloning solutions. For instance, in 2019, Deepsync Technologies, a tech startup in India, used artificial intelligence to create audio content via voice cloning.

A voice cloning procedure usually requires a few hours of recorded speech to create a data set, which is then used to form a new model. With the increasing acceptance of machine learning and artificial intelligence solutions, developers are working to reduce the time required to complete a voice cloning process. For example, in 2019, a new Github project introduced a real-time voice cloning toolkit that enables the user to clone a voice in less than five seconds of audio sampling.

Global Voice Cloning Market Drivers:

The main growth factors in the global voice cloning market include the growing demand for the Internet of Things (IoT) and connected devices. Introducing new initiatives in voice cloning projects will further drive trends in the voice cloning market in the coming years. However, the complexity of recreating natural speech will hamper market growth in the future. Nonetheless, integrating artificial intelligence technologies in voice cloning services and personalization in human-team interaction will shortly offer lucrative avenues for players in the voice cloning market. This, in turn, will help overcome the market's obstacles in the next two years.

The massive popularity of chatbots and virtual assistants worldwide and new product innovations introduced by industry giants will open new growth prospects for the voice cloning market in the coming years. The increased demand for new voice technologies in telecommunications, banking, media and entertainment, education, defense and energy, and public services sectors, among others, will not only fuel market growth but will take voice cloning activities to new heights.

The voice cloning solutions segment has experienced considerable growth in recent years due to the increasing adoption of cloned voice services in education, healthcare, BFSI, media and entertainment, sales retail, and other potential industries. CereProc, a voice cloning technology provider, developed CereVoice Me, an online voice cloning solution that can generate a computer version of a user’s voice. The developers of this cutting-edge solution have streamlined the process of creating text-to-speech from CereProc, allowing users to make recordings in their homes in just a few hours.

These voice cloning methods require many recorded voices and extensive post-production. Although they produce results, they are not cost-effective and also time-consuming, acting as a challenger for those looking for a TTS voice that looks like a cloned voice. Various technology providers are making voice cloning accessible to potential end users. These solutions are particularly useful for voice banking services. Voice cloning tools can be helpful in various degenerative diseases, such as motor neuron disease (MND) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). These tools can also be helpful for critical operations, such as laryngectomy, which can lead to loss of speech. Patients can use a voice-generating tool to hear their voices, which have been cloned from their previously recorded voices. These emerging technology solutions drive growth in this segment during the forecast period.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global voice cloning market:

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for digital educational platforms increased worldwide. When the pandemic was declared in March, the United States responded, and offices, schools, and public spaces were closed. There is a need to connect online with the education system, from kindergarten to grade 12 to college, in a big way. E-learning organizations are taking the opportunity to deliver uninterrupted online courses using voice cloning technology.
