The embedded ai market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•In recent years, the embedded AI market has seen accelerated growth. It is projected to expand from a market size of $14.28 billion in 2024 to $15.81 billion in 2025, indicating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7%.
This surge during the historic period can be associated with various factors such as the shrinking size of hardware components, escalating demand for intelligent devices, increased connectivity and internet of things (IoT), advancements in edge computing, and the popularity of wearable devices.
The embedded ai market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of embedded AI is predicted to experience significant expansion in the forthcoming years. It's projected to escalate to $26.66 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.0%.
The projected growth throughout this period is ascribed to improved energy efficiency in embedded systems, burgeoning industrial automation, rising demand for edge AI in the healthcare sector, growth of 5g networks, and strengthened security measures for embedded AI. Some prevalent trends predicted for this period include the incorporation of AI in consumer electronics, the creation of AI-specific processors, advancements in semiconductor technology, AI-customized microcontrollers, the utilisation of edge AI in robotics and drones, along with the deployment of edge AI in environmentally friendly and green computing.
The expansion of the embedded AI market is anticipated to be fuelled by a rise in industrial automation. Industrial processes and operations are increasingly being automated using advanced technologies, control systems, and machinery. In terms of enhancing productivity, efficiency, and decision-making within manufacturing and production processes, embedded AI has wide applications in industrial automation. It is employed for applications such as machine vision, quality control, predictive maintenance, and robotics automation. For instance, the International Federation of Robotics, a non-profit organization based in Germany, reported that in 2023, there were 4,281,585 units in operation in factories globally, indicating a 10% rise from the previous year as of September 2024. As a result, the growth of the embedded AI market is being propelled by the surge in industrial automation.
