Emotion Detection and Recognition Market Segment Insights
Natural learning processing segment is projected to hold significant market share
Based on technology, the emotion detection and recognition market is segmented into biosensors technology, feature extraction & 3D modelling, natural learning processing, pattern recognition network, machine learning, and others. The natural learning processing (NLP) segment is projected to hold significant market share that the integration of AI in NLP allows computers to learn human languages easily. The machines can learn several aspects of a language including accents, slang, and contractions in order to generate human-like speech and text. It does a lexical analysis based on human languages to evaluate languages and data sets.
NLP equips computers with the ability to execute tasks such as question answering, translation, part-of-speech tagging, lemmatization/stemming, content categorization, parsing, language detection, and semantic reasoning. Speech and voice recognition, computer-assisted coding, gesture recognition, and data mining are all examples of NLP-powered applications that are gaining traction.
Facial expression recognition segment is anticipated to account for a substantial share
On the basis of components, the market is bifurcated into services and software. The services segment is further segmented into consulting & integration and storage & maintenance. The software segment is sub-divided into bio-sensing solution, facial expression recognition, gesture & posture recognition, and speech & voice recognition. The facial expression recognition segment is anticipated to account for a substantial share. Facial expressions are a combination of a person's intention, cognitive state, personality, and psychology, and they are frequently employed to send signals in interpersonal relationships.
Facial expressions are also indications of emotions that can be used to respond to a certain speech. Facial recognition software is an essential component of the emotion detection and recognition system as it identifies emotions or responses from facial expressions and produces real-time results.
Entertainment & consumer electronics to register a healthy growth rate
In terms of applications, the emotion detection and recognition market is segregated into entertainment & consumer electronics, medical emergency, law enforcement, surveillance, & monitoring, marketing & advertising, robotics & e-learning, and others.
The entertainment & consumer electronics segment is expected to register a healthy growth rate during the projected timeline owing to the rising wearable device use and innovation. Companies have been working on creating a voice-activated wearable device (fit bit) capable of recognizing human emotions. Wearable devices could collect real-time emotion data, which could be used to monitor an individual's health and other characteristics.
Defense & security agency segment to expand at a rapid pace
Based on end-users, the market is fragmented into defense & security agency, education, entertainment, government, healthcare, retail, transportation, and others. The defense & security agency segment is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace in the coming years due to the use of emotion detection and identification technologies to reduce or eliminate fraudulent activity.
The transportation segment, however, is projected to hold significant market share in the near future as several emotion detection and recognition software are widely applied in the gadgets associated with the automotive sectors to track data with emotion sensors to acquire a deeper understanding and improve customer experiences.
North America is expected to dominate the market
In terms of regions, the emotion detection and recognition market can be categorized as Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America is expected to dominate the market since the region is home to several key market companies that provide superior software solutions to various industry verticals. Moreover, factors such as strong economy of the countries and considerable investment on R&D activities are key drivers of the regional market growth.
