Tiny Machine Learning Market Size, Share, and COVID-19 Impact Analysis, By Component (Solution and Services); By Application (Retail, Healthcare, Agriculture, Manufacturing, and Others); and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Tiny Machine Learning (TinyML) is a subset of machine learning which pursues running machine learning applications on low-powered devices like microcontrollers. It is a fast-growing research area that has recently gained popularity. TinyML provides various advantages, such as low latency, low power consumption, privacy, and low bandwidth.

Even though TinyML is an emerging field, it has been in production for years. It is used in gesture recognition, audio detection, keyword spotting, machine monitoring, object recognition, and classification. Some examples of TinyML are OK Google, Hey Siri, Alexa, and other wake words.

The market growth is driven by the rising number of IoT devices and advancements in machine learning technologies. Moreover, less power consumption aids the TinyML devices to run unplugged on batteries for a long time while running ML applications on edge. It improves the productivity of deep learning artificial intelligence (AI) systems by needing less computation, less data, and fewer engineers to facilitate the big market of edge AI and IoT.

For instance, McKinsey states that 40% of the annual value created by analytics is made up of deep machine learning techniques.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Tiny Machine Learning Market

COVID-19 has positively impacted the market, with the number of machine learning applications widely increasing in the healthcare sector. Machine Learning is used in the healthcare sector to predict diseases and care for covid patients accurately.

TinyML was used as a platform to tackle and combat the pandemic. Several countries use artificial intelligence and machine learning to track, trace and understand covid cases. The pandemic has witnessed a significant acceleration in the adoption of TinyML applications.

For instance,

• According to The Brookings Institution report, researchers used CCTV camera footage and geolocation data in South Korea to track covid patients.


• French start-up, Clevy.io, launched a chatbot for people to find out about communications given by the government on COVID-19.

However, the hardware AI market has disrupted the supply chain, with trade restrictions imposed on several countries. Data Forecast's 2020 AI hardware chip global revenue fell by 12% due to COVID-19.
