Synthetic Data Generation Market Size

The global synthetic data generation market size was valued at USD 310.5 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 35.2% between 2025 and 2034. Due to the increasing demand for AI and ML model training, there has been a significant market growth. It’s no secret that artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms require a lot of advanced and diversified data for training. However, due to scarcity of data, privacy issues, bias, among other reasons, acquiring real-world data becomes costly, tough and time-consuming.
 

Synthetic Data Generation Market

In sectors like healthcare, autonomous cars and even finance, real-world data is not only difficult to obtain but is often illegal or unethical to acquire. To solve this issue, developers have begun relying on synthetic data that is generated to mimic real-world data while not relying on personal or sensitive information, making them a practical workaround. Such data is readily available while still being of high quality, diverse and compliant with privacy requirements, allowing companies to effectively decrease the cost and time in making AI and ML models.
 

In particular, at the end of December 2024, Mindtech Global launched their synthetic data generation platform called Chameleon 24.2. This platform was developed to assist in creating high quality, labelled training data for computer vision AI systems. The issue this computer system seeks to solve is the lack of diverse datasets that are needed to train advanced AI algorithms.
 

The utilization of synthetic data is becoming prevalent due to privacy concerns, strict compliance regulations, and growing data generation. With companies in the finance, healthcare, and e-commerce industries collecting sensitive data, they need to comply with strict regulations such as CCPA, GDPR, and HIPAA. It is where synthetic data comes in handy as it provides datasets for AI training while maintaining confidentiality and remaining PII compliant.
 

Synthetic Data Generation Market Trends

Taking into account the growing number of devices encompassing the Internet, the demand for synthetic data will only increase further. Such data is valuable for simulating environments and enhancing the performance of edge devices. Moreover, synthetic data can be employed to improve the working of AI systems for better decision-making in the ever-growing smart city industry.
 

Furthermore, the game development, augmented reality and virtual reality industry is boosting market expansion through the use of synthetic data. Such fields aim to build captivating and compelling experiences that need a large amount of data. In these sectors, synthetic data allows companies to create 3D models of settings and engagements that can be utilized for the development and training of AI algorithms to enhance user experience in virtual worlds.
 

Realistic and quality demands are serious limitations to the expansion of the market for creating synthetic data. The effectiveness of synthetic data as an AI training algorithm is highly proportional to how well the model reproduces real-life data. Even though synthetic data offers cost and space saving as well as privacy preservation advantages, its quality is still the major concern.
 

If synthetic data produced is not able to depict the intricacy and variability found in real-life data, it could severely affect the AI and produce biased models; for example, within AI training, it is still an obstacle to building virtual data resources for obscure and edge-case scenarios. For instance, in medicine where accurate artificial data is needed to determine diseases and predict outcomes in patients such as imaging, failure to leverage human biology in synthetic data construction could result in ineffective treatment and inaccurate diagnosis of the patient.
 

Synthetic Data Generation Market Analysis

Synthetic Data Generation Market Size, By Application, 2022 – 2034, (USD Million)

Based on application, the market is segmented as AI/ML model training, privacy protection, test data management, data analytics and visualization, and others. In 2024, the AL/ML model training segment held a synthetic data generation market share of over 31% and is expected to exceed USD 2 billion by 2034. The AI/ML model training is the most prominent one due to the increasing requirements to train Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) models using vast high-quality datasets at scale.
 

In real-life implementations, these models operate efficiently if a collection of varied data that is more representative is provided. However, real world data is difficult to obtain as it is elusive, often expensive, and sometimes even takes a longer time to obtain as well as comes with privacy limitations. Due to this there is a growing demand for synthetic data, which is data created artificially made to mimic real world data to help fill in gaps where actual data is difficult to collect.
 

Synthetic Data Generation Market Share, By Data Type, 2024

Based on the data type, the synthetic data generation market is divided into image & video, tabular, text, and others. The text segment held around 34.5% of the market share in 2024. The largest share in type of data in the synthetic data generation industry is occupied by the text data owing to its application in mass in almost all industries, more specifically in NLP related AI model training.

 

With the increased adoption of artificial intelligence by businesses for services like customer interactions, content writing, sentiment assessment, and data analysis, the necessity and demand for vast volumes of rich and diverse text has increased. In order to development AI systems that could comprehend, manipulate, and produce text like a human language which is essential in developing modern tools such as chatbots, virtual assistants, machine translators, and information retrieval systems, aid is paramount.

U.S. Synthetic Data Generation Market Size, 2022 -2034, (USD Million)

North America dominated the global synthetic data generation market with a major share of over 34% in 2024 and U.S. holds a significant share of this region. The advancement of new technologies, favorable government regulations, and the economic boom have vastly spurred the demand for synthetic data generation in APAC, a demand which continues to grow at an exponential rate. Countries like China, India, Japan and South Korea have begun to heavily invest in AI and ML industries, which in turn has catalyzed the process of digital transformation.
 

AI models in the healthcare, automotive, and manufacturing industries are being modified to improve efficiency and automate mundane processes. However, almost all industries require massive quantities of quality data for AI and ML models, which is why Synthetic data provides a viable solution to complex problems such as privacy, data collection expenses, data shortage and a plethora of other challenges.
 

The U.S is the key highlight in the synthetic data generation market thanks to its investment capacity and prowess in AI, technology and data industries. Other tech behemoths who operate within the country are also conducting extensive research in machine learning and AI which has skyrocketed the demand for large sum and diverse datasets. Furthermore, research institutions and Government agencies are pumping in money into the development of artificial and machine learning technologies which has significantly uplifted the delivery of synthetic data generation methods.
 

Europe owing to the regulatory, technology, and industry factors. A prime factor is the stringent data privacy laws including GDPR that is becoming the benchmark for all European data protection laws and policies. Business sectors such as healthcare, finance, and retail have begun leveraging AI and machine learning to enhance customer data management.
 

Consequently, techniques like synthetic data generation are gaining popularity as a more secure approach to privacy.
