Market Trends of Voice Analytics Industry
Applications driving the growth of the market
- Organizations across industries such as IT are leveraging their cutting-edge contact centers with analytical solutions such as Behavioral Predictive Voice Analytics (BPVA) that enable it to predict which potential job candidates are very likely to succeed. The BPVA technology relies on the vocal elements to provide a completely new data source from which insights can be gleaned, leveraging its potential to characterize behavioral and personality trait patterns through the innovation of combining voice analytics, AI, signal processing, and psychology.
- Also, recent trends have shown the application of voice analytics to detect Parkinson's disease in patients, as with most cases, people diagnosed with Parkinson's disease have speech or voice disorders. By analyzing the voice samples of the people, the solution would confirm whether or not the person suffers from the disease. For instance, Cogita Corporation, using its Social Signal Processing platform, developed an inexpensive, scalable voice analytics solution that is able to access cues from individuals' natural speech to provide non-invasive monitoring for psychological issues.
- Furthermore, as with the financial industry, with many market participants, including analysts, and institutional investors failing in the detection of financial frauds, there's been growing trends with organizations looking for solutions that can timely report such financial frauds, with the ability of voice analytics to analyze verbal-linguistic cues and non-verbal cues drive the growth of the Voice Analytics Market.
North America to Hold Major Market Share
- North America holds a major share of voice analytics owing to factors such as the increase in digital marketing spending, Central Intelligence Agency's increased technology spending, and increased focus on treating mental illness in the region, among others.
- Agencies, like the CIA, are actively funding ideas that might help track terrorists and foreign spy activity. Thereby such an instance opens the opportunity for Silicon Valley startups that are actively innovating the existing voice analytics solutions to develop innovative and attractive solutions. VoiceBase, a startup based in the United States, provides a voice analytics platform that analyses vocal data from calls and categorizes calls using AI predictive analytics and determines the user's intent. Additionally, it also predicts future behavior using its machine learning capabilities.
- According to the National Institute of Mental Health(NIH), in the United States, nearly 1 in 5 adults suffer from mental illness with varying degrees of severity ranging from mild to moderate to severe, with many illnesses having no proper analytics tests that conclude the behavioral patterns among patients.
- Owing to such prevalence of mental illnesses, voice analytics technologies are playing an important role, aiding in the detection of these diseases by increasing the sophistication and accuracy of the illness detection by analyzing the vocal data of the conversation.
- Also, the growing investment by governments for the adoption of AI and machine learning technologies is further developing the market for interactive voice response technology that is able to perform sentiment analyses. For instance, San Mateo County's tax collector's office has adopted an advanced interactive voice response system that will allow callers to more efficiently review and pay their property taxes more.
