Affective computing is an interdisciplinary field of study combining elements of computer science, cognitive science, and psychology, and involves the research and development of devices and systems that can identify, process, interpret and simulate human emotions. Affective computing technologies employ sensors, cameras, microphones, and more to learn users' emotions and respond accordingly. The response of these technologies includes rendering features of a specific predefined service or product, such as giving video recommendations or changing the quiz according to the learner's mood.

It was projected that artificial intelligence (AI) would generate productivity of over 6 billion hours by 2021. The adoption of various technologies is also resulting in the creation of massive job opportunities. For instance, it is estimated that the wide use of mobile banking technologies can create more than 90 million job opportunities. Moreover, considerable progress is being projected in the technology of the Internet of Things (IoT). The total number of IoT devices is estimated to reach more than 75 billion by 2025. All these technological advancements imply growth in the global affective-computing market forecast.

Global Affective-Computing Market: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

• Rapid Growth of Smart Home Automation - A smart home connects with technology to improve the experience of a home with smart devices, including smart locks, smart thermostats, smart doorbells, and more. Machine-giving emotional responses are a result of combining affective computing with robotics, machine learning, and big data. It is estimated that the number of smart homes is to surpass 4700 million in 2025, with a smart home penetration rate of over 210%.

• Vast Use of Wearable Devices - The pervasive sensors in wearable devices help one monitor behavioral and physiological signals in everyday life. The number of connected wearable devices was predicted to cross 1 billion by 2022. Similarly, in 2020, the shipment volume of wearables that was recorded was close to 370 million units.

• Increasing Demand for Virtual Assistants – The development of virtual assistants is another progress under affective computing or emotional AI. With time the need for such virtual assistants is also becoming more extensive. It has been estimated that about 60% of virtual assistants have full-time employment, and they save the operational cost of a company by about 80%.

• Growing Deployment of Robots – The affective-computing application can be observed in social robots. The global industrial robot shipment in 2020 was close to 400000 units, and it is estimated to surpass 500000 units by 2024. Thus, the increase in the use of robots in various fields is sure to contribute to the growth of the global affective-computing market.

• Rapid Growth of Gaming Globally – Affective gaming learns the player's emotions and develops the game by expressing and modeling the emotions of non-playing characters accordingly. The size of the online gaming audience is projected to surpass 1 billion by 2025.

• Greater Adoption of E-learning System - Affective learning can enable computers to accommodate students' emotions to deliver intelligent tutoring. As of 2022, more than 35% of fortune 500 companies use e-learning for training, and more than 90% of companies plan to adopt an online education system. Close to 60% of employees globally prefer learning at their pace, and e-learning has been observed to increase employee productivity by about 25%.

Challenges

• Affective-Computing System's Production Cost Increasing Singularly

• Widening Gap Between Research and Real-life Application

• Lack of Preparedness to Face Technical Challenges

The global affective-computing market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by technology into touch-based and touchless. Between these touch-based technology is anticipated to hold the largest size by 2031. This prominence of touch-based technology is due to the significance of hardware components like sensors, cameras, and storage devices for a full-fledged affective-computing solution. Touch-based technology is mainly seen in wearable electronics like watches, wristbands, wearables, and more. The global shipment volume of such wearables in 2021 was close to 535 million units. Of the wearables, fitness bands and smartwatches are expected to show growth in shipment volume between 2021 and 2024. Their shipment count is expected to reach 300 million units by 2024.
