AI and ML practices are no longer the luxury of research institutes or technology giants, they are becoming an integral part of any modern business application. According to analysts, most organizations fail to successfully deliver AI-based applications and are stuck in the process of turning data-science models, which were tested on sample or historical data, into interactive applications which work with real-world and large-scale data. A new engineering practice called MLOps has emerged to address the challenges. As the name indicates, it combines AI/ML practices with DevOps practices, and its goal is to create continuous development and delivery (CI/CD) of data and ML intensive applications. For instance, the year 2023 will also experience an expansion of AI and MLOps across various organizations, decreased time to market for AI projects, and for organizations using online feature stores to enable real-time use cases to be implemented.

On the basis of industry vertical, the IT and telecom sector dominated the MLOps market in 2022 and is expected to continue this trend during the forecast period. The IT and telecom industry are implementing MLOps, to make the best decisions for continuing to be successful in the marketplace. These factors will notably contribute towards the growth for MLOps in this industry. However, the healthcare sector has the highest growth market share in the upcoming year. The adoption of MLOps helps healthcare companies to address issues such as securities, regulations, financial factors, and standards which are in the path of the digital transformation process.

Region-wise, North America dominated the market share in 2022 for the MLOps market. The adoption of MLOps growing steadily to meet increasing demands from today’s businesses to enhance their business process and improve the customer experience will provide lucrative opportunities for the market in this region. In addition, North America is expected to exhibit high growth potential, as biopharmaceutical companies in this region are increasingly adopting MLOps for various applications such as research, drug discovery, and clinical trials, which is significantly fueling the market growth. However, Asia-Pacific is expected to exhibit highest growth during the forecast period. This is attributed to the increase in penetration of advanced technology such as AI/ML big data and others, which is particularly fueling regional market growth. In addition, surge in digitalization toward business operation, is projected to provide lucrative growth opportunities for the MLOps market in Asia-Pacific region.

The COVID-19 outbreak positively impacted the growth of the MLOps market.
