IDC: China's artificial intelligence software and application market size will reach US$5.28 billion in 2021

IDC released a research report on China's artificial intelligence software and application market in 2021. The scale of China's artificial intelligence software and application market in 2021 reached US $ 5.28 billion (about RMB 33.03 billion), an increase of 43.1% compared with 2020. Compared with the forecast value of the same period last year, the increase was slightly lower. The impact of the epidemic was obvious, and the industry was becoming more rational and cautious about AI investment. Whether in the Chinese market or the US market, in recent years, the market structure of mainstream manufacturers has been constantly evolving, and it is far from reaching the stage where the structure is stable and a few companies have formed a monopoly. In the future, technology-innovative companies may still win.

Computer Vision Market Landscape:

The computer vision market grew by 47.0% in 2021H2 compared to 2020H2 , with a market size of US$ 1.35 billion and a full-year market size of US$ 2.34 billion. The driving force for market growth comes from industrial quality inspection, predictive maintenance scenarios, and decentralized vision-related application scenarios brought about by epidemic prevention and control. From the market structure perspective, SenseTime, Megvii, Hikvision, AInnovation, and CloudWalk Technology are the top 5 manufacturers, accounting for 45.6% of the market share. Among other manufacturers not listed, Baidu Smart Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, Huawei Cloud, and Tencent Cloud also contributed a certain market share.

Speech and semantics market landscape

The speech and semantic market grew by 37.0% in the second half of 2021 compared to the second half of 2020, with a market size of US$1.23 billion and a full-year market size of US$2.17 billion. The driving force for market growth comes from the maturity of NLP technology and the growth of related application scenarios. Both the intelligent voice and conversational AI sub-markets have entered a period of slow growth. From the market structure perspective, the overall structure is increasingly focused on the leading manufacturers. Judging from the annual data, iFlytek still ranks first, but its market share has declined, and the market share of Alibaba Cloud and Baidu Smart Cloud has begun to rise. Among other manufacturers, Huawei Cloud and JD Cloud contributed a certain market share, followed by conversational AI manufacturers and intelligent customer service manufacturers.

Machine Learning Platform Market Landscape:

The speech and semantics market grew by 37.0% in the second half of 2021 compared to the second half of 2020 , reaching a market size of US$ 320 million, and US$ 570 million in 2021. The driving force for market growth comes from the construction of AI middle platforms by governments and enterprises, as well as from the continuous improvement of product functions by manufacturers and the measures taken to lower the threshold for machine learning development. From the market structure perspective, Fourth Paradigm still maintains its leading edge; Huawei Cloud has also achieved rapid growth; Jiuzhang Cloud DataCanvas relies on its solid customer accumulation and continuous innovation capabilities, and Innovation Qiji relies on its expanding product portfolio, and its market share is also increasing. In addition, there are still more and more new entrants in the market starting to work in this field, but the scale advantages of early entrants are obvious.

Lu Yanxia, ​​assistant research director of IDC China, said: " Artificial intelligence technology is still making breakthroughs and innovations, and new application scenarios are flourishing. The market structure still has a lot of room for evolution, and unicorn-type companies may still be nurtured in some niche tracks. At the same time, the scale effect in the market is becoming increasingly obvious. Early market entrants should establish a focused strategic route, focus on accumulating customer groups and practical cases in key business areas, so as to form scale effects as soon as possible. "
