Software Development AI Market Drivers

Growth in Big Data and Increasing digitally connected Customer

Big data and artificial intelligence market are becoming part of business organizations driven by the availability of data from sources such as the Internet of Things (IoT) with adoption rising 18% between 2015 and 2019. Nowadays, companies are striving to analyze the consumer data obtained from CRM systems, product reviews, and media comments to understand their customers at a granular level, making their marketing more targeted and effective. Traditional software development is not designed to support the changes, involving a series of successive stages including manually writing code, preparing requirements, designing software, and testing to establish that the final product meets specifications. Artificial intelligence (AI) is disrupting this process by creating scalable and efficient workflows to drive productivity and reduce time-to-market. Though many software companies are still in the early stages of AI application, the use of the technology is growing steadily across the enterprise. 

Increasing Use of AI in CRM

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software has evolved with many developments such as face and voice recognition. For example, Salesforce Einstein and Zoho CRMs Zia are AI-powered CRM that uses voice commands to access information. Companies are using AI to boost their decision-making processes such as online customer support, intelligent personal assistants, and process automation. 65% of the company's business comes from existing customers and it costs five times greater to attract a new customer than to keep an existed satisfied one. Thus, the use of CRM is essential. Integration of AI tools in CRM will help them to better understand the customers by processing more information in terms of data. Sales representatives who spend their half of time in CRM for trying to manage CRM tasks more effectively. AI technology can easily surpass this challenge by automating most of these tasks and eventually offering more valuable insights. This is turn is driving the growth of the Ai in Retail market during the forecast period 2021-2026. 

Software Development AI Market Challenges

Lack of Quality Tools and Expertise

The most significant barriers AI and machine learning developers’ face in improving AI app development also include the cost of materials and lack of necessary skills or training. Just 10% are having to deal with the challenges of working with and integrating into legacy systems, a finding that indicates AI and machine learning app development is happening in relatively new business units and development centers. Professional services of a data scientist or a developer are needed to customize an existing ML-enabled AI service. As AI technology is still in its early stage of product life cycle, the workforce possessing in-depth knowledge of this technology is limited. Thus, the impact of this restraining factor will likely remain high during the initial years of the forecast period of software development AI market. 

Software Development AI Market Landscape

Product launches, acquisitions, and R&D activities are key strategies adopted by players in the Software Development AI Market. Software Development AI driver market is expected to be dominated by major companies such as N-iX, QBurst, Intellectsoft, Softserve, RapidMiner, KONUX, and AI Foundry among others. 

Acquisitions/Technology Launches/Partnerships

• In May 2020, The US Air Force (USAF) has launched a competition to design the artificially intelligent software, called Skyborg, that would control its planned fleet of loyal wingman unmanned air vehicles (UAV).
• In May 2020, Microchip Technology Inc. has developed its VectorBlox Accelerator Software Development Kit (SDK) based on AI that helps developers take advantage of Microchip’s PolarFire FPGAs for creating low-power, flexible overlay-based neural network applications without learning an FPGA tool flow.
