Market Drivers
The OCR market is expanding due to productivity improvements and automatic content recognition systems. DataPost Pte. Ltd. launched DataVio in July 2022, a cloud-based solution that uses OCR technology to extract data from text, images, or scanned documents, automating data extraction and processing.
Digitalization in business organizations has revolutionized processes, making data a critical element for growth. Companies have started using tools like optical character recognition (OCR) software to convert physical data into digital form, which is increasingly used in the Business Financial Services (BFSI) and healthcare sectors for creating digital copies of documents like checks and invoices. For example, Alfa-Bank, Russia's largest private bank, incorporated Smart Engines' computer-vision document scanning capabilities into its mobile banking application in February 2022. This app allows users to update their ID documents remotely, eliminating the need to visit an office.
OCR technology is being utilized for converting text into speech, making it accessible to blind and visually impaired individuals. It is also used for sorting letters, preserving historical and cultural texts, personal identification, and processing documents. In May 2022, OCR Canada acquired Day 2 Mobility Inc., a telecommunications company, providing a single point of connection with carriers, policy development, and excellent support services. This acquisition demonstrates the growing use of OCR technology in various applications.
Optical character recognition technology offers numerous benefits, including time savings, enhanced work management, reduced costs, and reduced manual errors. It also improves customer service and increases document security, driving demand across industries like BFSI and retail. Cognitive solution developers are focusing on integrating advanced technologies to improve accuracy, which is expected to drive market growth in the future. For example, Envision, a smartphone app for blind and low-vision users, introduced AI-powered smart glasses with optical character recognition capabilities, making everyday life more accessible.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The COVID-19 pandemic has positively influenced the optical character recognition sector. Governments worldwide have imposed lockdowns to contain the spread of the virus, people are bound to sit and work from home. To convert various document types, such as PDF files or images captured by a digital camera into editable, the demand for OCT technology boomed amid the pandemic.
