The global affective computing market is disrupting the traditional emotional disorder treatment practices with the introduction of advanced diagnostic solutions in the healthcare sector. According to a report by the WHO, healthcare expenditure is increasing faster, as compared to rest of the global economy, and is accountable for 10% of the global GDP in 2019. The demand for affective computing in the healthcare industry is growing rapidly, due to its capability to improve therapeutic solutions for patients. Owing to its number of applications, which include facial expression recognition for specially-abled children with dyslexia, and autism diseases, affective computing recorded a substantial growth in the healthcare sector. Growing demand for artificial intelligence-enabled solutions to determine psychological ailments is anticipated to impel the affective computing market growth around the globe. The Global Affective Computing Market size valued at $22 billion in 2018, and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 27.2%, throughout the forecast period 2019-2025.

Apart from the healthcare industry, affective computing technology is used in numerous other applications such as autonomous cars, logistics, and surgical robots. Recording passengers’ gestures and additional safety measures were deployed in autonomous cars, by the advent of affective computing. Affective computing is used in logistics for planning, implementing, and controlling an efficient flow of goods and services from the point of origin until the delivery. Robots equipped with affective computing technology can better judge the patient’s emotional state and change their programming aptly. Furthermore, teenagers can get assistance in emotional development programs in case of autism-related diseases by the use of affective computing technology. A varied range of solutions were developed for such children, which is expected to boost the affective computing market growth globally. The retail sector is dominating the affective computing market, by using data analytics, and sensors as it plays a vital role to understand consumer behavior for taking better decisions. The processing speed of affective computing to record and analyze a human response in real-time can contribute to rapid growth of this technology. For instance, Internet-based therapy cannot detect and depict a patient’s emotional state, as a face-to-face session can. On the other hand, affective computing gives more accuracy in the evaluation of a patient’s psychological condition by interpreting facial expressions and gestures.
