Self-supervised Learning Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By End Use (Healthcare, BFSI), By Technology (NLP, Computer Vision, Speech Processing), By Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific), And Segment Forecasts, 2022 - 2030

Report Overview

The global self-supervised learning market size was valued at USD 7.0 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 33.4% from 2022 to 2030. Factors such as the increasing applications of technologies such as voice recognition & face detection and the increasing need to streamline workflow across industries are driving the demand for self-supervised learning applications among industries. Moreover, increasing digitalization is likely to fuel the growth of the market.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the market as businesses shifted to the online work model, which thereby boosted digitalization across industries. As per IBM’s global AI adoption index 2022 report, 53% of the IT professionals responded that they accelerated the roll-out of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a part of their response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, during the pandemic, chatbots were developed using Machine Learning (ML) to screen COVID-19 symptoms and answer public queries.

Self-supervised learning is a Machine Learning (ML) technique that is used in various AI applications such as Natural Language Processing (NLP), computer vision, and speech processing. Applications of self-supervised learning include face detection, text categorization, and colorization. Moreover, it has applications in various industries such as BFSI, healthcare, automotive & transportation, software development (IT), advertising & media, and others.

As per IBM’s global AI adoption index 2022 report, 34% of respondents believed that a lack of AI skills was restraining the adoption of AI for businesses. Self-supervised learning is at a growing stage that requires a skilled workforce for development. Hence, a lack of a skilled workforce is likely to restrain the self-supervised learning market growth.

Companies such as U.S.-based Apple Inc. and Microsoft are increasingly investing in Research & Development (R&D) activities. Moreover, these companies are researching technologies such as AI and ML. Market players such as U.S.-based Meta are conducting experiments and researching self-supervised learning, presenting significant growth opportunities for the market. For instance, in January 2022, Meta AI announced data2vec, a self-supervised learning algorithm that works for text, vision, and speech. The algorithm outperformed previous algorithms for speech and computer vision.
