OCR Market Size Worth $13.38 Billion By 2025 | CAGR: 13.7%

The global optical character recognition market size is expected to reach USD 13.38 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 13.7% from 2019 to 2025. Increasing investments in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) startup companies and adoption of OCR across diversified industry verticals is projected to drive the OCR market growth.

Digitalization plays a critical role in changing the way organizations operate. It has helped companies improve efficiency of their business processes. Enterprises are investing large amounts in technologies that can help them digitalize their work process and increase productivity. Since data is a critical element for an organization, adoption of technologies such as OCR, which enables users to convert text data in different types of documents and images into editable or accessible formats, has increased. OCR solutions are integrated with a wide range of technologies such as robotic process automation and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance their capabilities.

Integration of artificial intelligence with optical character recognition has helped companies in leveraging technological capabilities of artificial intelligence such as deep learning and multi-level analysis for the more efficient processing of documents, texts, and other data in a way similar to that of humans. These advanced technologies also help to address inaccuracies that occur in OCR, thereby providing streamlined fault management. This, in turn, helps reduce costs of processing documents and increase efficiency within the organization.

Vendors across diversified industry verticals, such as retail, banking, and healthcare, are widely adopting OCR technology. In terms of vertical, BFSI accounted for the largest OCR market share in 2018, owing to the increasing use of the technology in business transactions and scanning checks and other critical documents. The demand for OCR in healthcare sector is expected to grow moderately over the forecast period.
