The Conversational AI Market is projected to reach $43.7 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 23.9% from 2023 to 2030. The growth of the conversational AI market is driven by the surge in demand for conversational AI solutions to improve call center operations and the proliferation of voice-enabled devices. However, a lack of accuracy in recognizing regional accents and dialects and low awareness about conversational AI solutions restrains the growth of this market. The high potential of AI-enabled voice assistants in the healthcare industry and the increasing proliferation of conversational AI solutions for sales and marketing management are expected to create growth opportunities for the players operating in the conversational AI market. However, data privacy and security concerns are a major challenge for market growth. Furthermore, AI chatbots with high emotional intelligence & the rise of voice-enabled assistants are the key trends observed in the conversational AI market.
