Ever wondered how Netflix can figure out exactly what’s on your mind when it comes to what you might want to watch next. Or how Spotify curates those perfect for all moods kinda playlists. According to a McKinsey study, 35 percent of what customers buy on Amazon and 75 percent of what they watch on Netflix is based on recommendations from Recommendation Engines. Well, if this is not the first time you’re reading something related to big data or artificial intelligence, then you have a slight idea of what the answer might boil down to. Yes, artificial intelligence it is. Making use of unstructured and structured datasets to provide systemized conclusions in the form of replication of human intelligence by machinery is all that confides in this umbrella term called artificial intelligence. Recommendation engines put the data made available by you to practice and thus provide you with the highly personalized product or information recommendations, eventually, leading to the addition of a tailored touch by the platform in understanding the needs of their audience or consumer.
“The market for recommendation engines was worth USD 2.12 billion in 2020, and it is predicted to grow to USD 15.13 billion by 2026, with a CAGR of 37.46 percent between 2021 and 2026.”
