Data collection and labeling are crucial processes for gathering and organizing relevant data for use in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) models. In data collection, relevant information is gathered from various sources such as cameras, voice recorders, surveys, and web scraping to create a comprehensive dataset. Data labeling involves attaching labels or context to the collected data to provide information for training AI and ML models.
The primary data types for data collection and labeling include text, image or video, and audio. In text-related applications, labeling and collecting data are essential for training machine learning models to make accurate predictions on new text data. These processes find applications in various areas such as dataset management, security and compliance, data quality control, workforce management, content management, catalog management, sentiment analysis, and more. Different industries, including information technology (IT), automotive, government, healthcare, banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), retail and e-commerce, leverage these processes for various purposes.

This data collection and labeling market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The data collection and labeling market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $3.55 billion in 2024 to $4.44 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to regulatory compliance, quality assurance, industry-specific needs, training data for ai models, outsourcing trends.
The data collection and labeling market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.08 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to evolving regulations, increasing ai adoption, demand for specialized labeling, rising complexity of data, globalization of data labeling services. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of training data for ai models, increasing importance of image and video labeling, demand for real-time data labeling, security and privacy considerations, evolution of annotation tools.
The growing adoption of autonomous vehicles is anticipated to drive the expansion of the data collection and labeling market in the coming years. Autonomous vehicles are capable of sensing their environment and navigating without human input. Data collection and labeling play a crucial role in enabling self-driving cars to recognize patterns in data and categorize them correctly, allowing these vehicles to make accurate and safe decisions on the road. This includes responding to various objects and scenarios, such as pedestrians, other vehicles, and traffic signs. For example, in August 2022, the Insurance Information Institute, Inc., a US-based industry association, reported that by 2025, 3.5 million self-driving vehicles are expected to be on U.S. roads, with this number projected to increase to 4.5 million by 2030. As a result, the growing adoption of autonomous vehicles is fueling the growth of the data collection and labeling market.
The burgeoning advancement of machine learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is set to propel the expansion of the data collection and labeling market. Machine Learning involves algorithms enabling computers to enhance performance on specific tasks as they encounter more data, without explicit programming. Artificial Intelligence encompasses systems capable of simulating human intelligence. Leveraging AI and ML algorithms streamlines data collection from diverse sources such as sensors, IoT devices, and websites, automating data aggregation and preprocessing. As per the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the projected 22% growth in employment for machine learning engineers from 2020 to 2030 indicates the significant role of rising AI and machine learning in driving the data collection and labeling market.
Technological advancements serve as a prominent trend fueling the growth of the data collection and labeling market. Companies operating within this market sphere are embracing innovative technologies, such as real-time data monitoring, to fortify their market presence. For instance, Sumake North America, in May 2022, introduced the EA-SC100 tool management system designed for data collection and tool setup. This system integrates a touch screen for real-time result visualization and a remote administration system for efficient tool setup and data retrieval. The EA-SC100 system not only reduces costs and boosts profitability but also streamlines assembly processes and aids businesses in upholding quality standards.
Leading companies in the data collection and labeling market are developing innovative software technologies, such as web-based data labeling tools, to enhance the efficiency, scalability, and accessibility of data annotation processes. A web-based data labeling tool is a software platform that allows users to label, categorize, and annotate data through an online interface. For example, in April 2024, StradVision, a US-based software company, launched Labelit, an advanced web-based data labeling tool designed to optimize the annotation processes required for sophisticated recognition technologies, particularly in driving and parking applications. Labelit automates complex data labeling tasks that were previously performed manually, significantly boosting efficiency through cloud-based processing. A key feature of this tool is its ability to track and analyze user work records, allowing for accurate measurement of task completion times.
In July 2022, Renesas Electronics Corporation, a Japan-based provider of cutting-edge semiconductor solutions, completed the acquisition of Reality AI for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition marks a significant step for Renesas, broadening and enriching its portfolio while diversifying its offerings in software and AI tools. The strategic integration of Reality AI, a US-based software development company specializing in data collection and labeling, strengthens Renesas' capacity to deliver optimized endpoint solutions that seamlessly integrate hardware and software. This acquisition amplifies Renesas' capabilities, enabling the development of highly refined solutions in the realm of data collection and labeling while expanding its overall technological prowess.
