The solution segment accounted for the dominant revenue share of 72.6% in 2024. The engines, platforms, tools, and interfaces that make up an NLG program process the translation of computer code into a language that is intelligible by humans. Deep learning is used by data analysis scientists as well as non-technical persons to analyze information and data. Natural language processing software also aids in producing actionable insights based on digital data.
With accelerating software implementation, lowering deployment costs & risks, maximizing the value of existing installations by optimizing them, and other associated factors, the service segment is expanding at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. The service segment consists of a range of services offered to businesses that use tools for generating natural language. The demand for these services is projected to increase significantly with the increased use of natural language generation software across various industries since they help businesses implement and utilize natural language generation tools effectively and utilize the full potential of the software.
The on-premise segment is estimated to account for the leading share of 59.8% in 2024. The on-premises NLP deployment offers full control, visibility, and authentication security controls over data. In addition, it is easier to scale to match corporate demand and improve efficiency with built-in redundancy. The increased adoption of cloud-based NLP is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the market. The cloud segment is expected to experience the fastest growth over the forecast period.
The advances in cloud computing have created a transformation by enabling the creation of cloud-based NLP applications. The competency of cloud-based solutions to handle huge data sets and provide an improved consumer experience has stimulated several businesses to opt for cloud-based deployment over on-premises. Since most enterprises do not have the infrastructure and networks capable of handling large datasets, there is a massive demand for cloud-based deployment in the NLP market.
The large enterprise's segment held the leading revenue share of 61.9% in 2024, attributable to the strong demand for predictive approaches to maintain data security. Most businesses have already adopted natural language processing-based tools for processing their data in the cloud owing to easy availability and scalability. However, owing to the expensive infrastructure setup costs and lack of knowledge regarding the extensive benefits of NLP on various fronts, the adoption of natural language generation technologies has been relatively low in SMEs.
The affordability of NLP tools in the cloud and the expanding global market for cloud service providers are likely to transform the situation and propel the category of small and medium-sized businesses. SMEs are likely to have a greater propensity for orchestrating processes to combine and coordinate multiple instruments. Additionally, the COVID-19 epidemic and the accompanying market disruptions forced SMEs to rethink their business plans to enhance customer satisfaction and become more competitive on the global stage.
The statistical NLP segment held the largest revenue share of 39.3% in 2024. However, rule-based NLP and hybrid NLP segments are projected to witness prominent growth during the forecast period. Pattern matching, a highly valuable skill in the healthcare sector, is the main emphasis of rule-based NLP. The aforementioned technique is useful for the healthcare sector since it enhances the electronic health record (EHR) process by facilitating the discovery of arbitrary phrases and enhancing data management effectiveness.
The hybrid approach combines the best rule-based and machine-learning approaches and combines natural language processing, machine learning, and human input. Accurate analysis is guided by human expertise, but machine learning makes scaling that analysis simple. With a combination of rule-based and statistical NLP technologies in a hybrid way, organizations can utilize the features, and advantages of both technologies. While using the hybrid approach in NLP, there are various options available to choose the best course for managing data and accelerating business decisions.
The automatic summarization segment is expected to account for the leading share of 17.6% revenue share in 2024. As natural language processing assists compliance teams in analyzing and identifying critical information stored in structured data and uncovering anomalies and hidden patterns from massive datasets with the help of topic tagging, sentiment analysis, and other techniques, NLP tools are also being used more and more in risk and threat detection activities.
As natural language processing assists compliance teams in analyzing and identifying vital information deposited in structured data and uncovering anomalies and concealed patterns from huge datasets with the help of sentiment analysis, topic tagging, and other techniques, NLP tools are being used more and more in risk and threat detection activities. The text summarizing method develops algorithms or software that condenses the text and generates a summary of text data.
The challenge of text summarization is to condense a document's meaning into fewer sentences and words. The methods used to extract data from unstructured text data and use it for a summarization model can be broadly divided into Extractive and Abstractive methods.
The healthcare segment is expected to account for a leading share of 23.0% in 2024. The leading share is attributable to the increasing adoption of advanced technologies and software such as predictive analytics, NLP tools, automation tools, and cloud-based software in the healthcare sector. Healthcare researchers can monitor prominent online comment boards to understand consumer apprehensions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The IT & telecommunication segment is projected to witness the highest growth rate during the forecast period. The field of communications can benefit greatly from natural language processing technologies. An NLP engine can automatically fix grammatical errors in messaging applications and also can be used to analyze and parse various languages. As a result, a comprehensive system that automatically parses texts in any language can be offered.
Problems on the consumer side would be automatically debugged just by a message from the customer. The "AMITIES" project in Europe is a well-known example of how NLP is used in the telecom industry. It facilitates an easier billing system for the customers. Additionally, telecom users communicate with the system directly.
