The enlarging demand for image recognition services in several end-user domains is primarily driving the market. The image recognition technology finds various end-users in several verticals for the management of online trading, and image & video analysis. The easy accessibility of the internet, along with the high adoption of social media and the web has led to the growth in the demand for image recognition technology. Also, smartphones and gadgets equipped with cameras have paved the way for the growth of image recognition technology. Image recognition applications can aid businesses in penetrating the competition by enabling the users to store an image of any product from their phones and upload it online for buying the product.

Retail is the leading segment in terms of revenue in the global image recognition market, with around 21.22 % market share in 2018. The image recognition technology is witnessing increasing popularity, as the adoption of facial recognition technology has increased in digital devices such as, tablets and smartphones. It can be used for building segmentation and sales cycle analytics, which is one of the significant factors fuelling the growth of the market. The inclusion of facial recognition software in mobile devices, such as iPhone X, is anticipated to boost the mass adoption of the technology. For instance, MacRumors states that the inquiries made by Android smartphone vendors into 3D sensing technologies have tripled, owing to the Apple unveiling its TrueDepth camera and Face ID technology.

Furthermore, healthcare is depicted to grow with the highest CAGR of 26.81% during the forecasted period. As machines are becoming more powerful, and deep-learning approaches are gaining traction in healthcare, healthcare organizations are expected to continue to develop diagnostic fields such as, ophthalmology, dermatology, and radiology. Moreover, with the help of image recognition, clear cases can be handled without the patients personally attending the health center.

However, the lack of technical expertise is restraining the market growth in the forecasted period. There is a lack of people with such expertise. Besides, there is a huge cost involved in hiring trained professions, particularly in this market, and many businesses could not afford them for taking these projects. Managing the complexities associated with these projects is not easy, since it needs someone with deep expertise. With a range of businesses deploying these tools, the companies are finding it challenging to hire a talent that is well-versed with technology, and manage the applications.
