Artificial Intelligence (AI) in inventory management market was valued at US$ 1,670.3 Million in 2018 and is expected to reach US$ XX Million by the end of the forecast period (2016-2023), expanding at a CAGR of 26.30%. Several organizations across end-use industries have found it difficult to cope with rising operational costs, reducing sales, dissatisfied customers, and several such issues. In order to overcome such issues, the adoption of AI in inventory management has become imperative.
AI is equipped with computing techniques that help select and analyze large quantities of data collected from inventory management operations. Several organizations are focusing on digitizing their supply chain processes using AI. Augmenting the efficiency of supply chain operations is the key focus area for several organizations across end-use industries such as retail, automotive, and healthcare, among others. Owing to the penetration of artificial intelligence, many organizations are adopting this technology to ramp up their supply chain operations and thereby, increase profitability and reshape their businesses.
The success of artificial intelligence in accelerating business processes has attracted significant investments as well. For instance, in 2018, the government of Quebec has reportedly invested approximately US$ 60 Mn for supporting AI-enabled supply chain supercluster. In the same year, the Canadian government invested approximately US$ 230 Mn for supporting AI-enabled supply chain supercluster. Such investments have greatly improved the supply chain operations of several organizations across end-use industries. Machine learning integrated in inventory management helps in warehouse management through predictive abilities that can forecast the future demand and supply appropriately. Integrating machine learning technologies into supply chain operations will help project the best possible scenarios based on intelligent algorithms and machine-enabled analysis of huge data sets.
