Global Chatbot Market Expected to Reach USD 44.5 Billion by 2033 - IMARC Group

Global Chatbot Market Statistics, Outlook and Regional Analysis 2025-2033

The global chatbot market size was valued at USD 7.0 Billion in 2024, and it is expected to reach USD 44.5 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 20.4% from 2025 to 2033.

The surging demand for 24-hour customer assistance is a primary driver of the chatbot market growth. Customers increasingly anticipate prompt responses to their inquiries, regardless of the time of day. For instance, according to a survey, 90% of customers rate an immediate response as an important factor when they seek customer service assistance. Traditional customer service models rely primarily on human agents, making it difficult to match expectations due to limited operation hours and the costly expense of keeping a big customer care workforce. This makes chatbots an appealing choice because they are known to run around the clock with minimal downtime, responding instantly to client requests.

Moreover, the increasing adoption of messaging platforms is one of the key factors driving the market growth. According to industry estimates, there will be nearly 473 billion mobile interactions and a 91% growth in conversational texting by the end of 2024. Messaging apps, such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and WeChat, have become staples of people's daily lives, with billions of users worldwide. These platforms provide businesses with a unique opportunity to communicate with customers in real-time and through a medium that their customers are familiar with. For example, Tata AIA Life Insurance, India, reported that approximately 3000 clients successfully paid USD 400 Million for renewal via WhatsApp. Besides this, chatbots are becoming increasingly popular in the healthcare industry, which is fueling market growth. They offer a wide range of services, including appointment scheduling, virtual consultation, medical information, symptom checks, and mental health support. For instance, in September 2024, Hackensack Meridian Health, based in New Jersey, partnered with K Health to launch a new 24/7 virtual primary care service that will provide physicians with better access to patients. HMH 24/7 will use K Health's AI chatbot technology to optimize clinical processes, automating intake and data entry before linking patients with virtual providers. Physicians use the same electronic medical record system as care teams in the health system's physical clinics, allowing for better continuity of treatment. Apart from this, chatbots are reported to save the healthcare industry up to US $3.7 Billion by assisting healthcare facilities in automating operations and taking over responsibilities, such as appointment scheduling, from front desk staff. Furthermore, healthcare chatbots can evaluate patient symptoms, make preliminary diagnoses, and offer suitable actions using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). For instance, according to a Pew Research Center survey performed in 2022, 38% believe that using AI to identify diseases and provide treatments would improve patient health outcomes.
