Natural language processing (or NLP) is one of the most popular applications of AI these days. A business can gain a lot from developing and implementing an NLP solution, for example, reducing expenses and manual work by performing large-scale analysis, or quickly extracting accurate insights and putting them at the center of the decision-making process. What’s more, there are a lot of industries that can benefit from this technology, including finance, healthcare, retail, supply chain, and more. As a result, the immense $27.732B value reached by the NLP market in 2022 was just a starting point before the expected 40.4% CARG growth between 2023 and 2030.
