The anticipated rise in the penetration rate of internet users is set to drive the growth of the artificial intelligence in the supply chain market. Over the past three months, an increasing number of internet users have accessed the web. This surge in internet usage allows for the efficient collection and dissemination of information among all supply chain members online. Businesses can now easily and quickly check inventory status, warehouse activity, and product movement. Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a pivotal role in predicting future consumer demand patterns, reducing costs related to overstocking unwanted inventory. For instance, as of July 2023, Statistics Canada reports that internet usage among Canadians aged 15 and older increased from 92% in 2020 to 95% in 2022, with the most significant increase observed among Canadians aged 75 and older, reaching 72% in 2022. Consequently, the surge in internet user penetration is a driving force behind the growth of the artificial intelligence in the supply chain market.

The increasing demand within the food and beverage industry is expected to fuel the growth of the artificial intelligence in the supply chain market. The food and beverage industry encompasses various operations related to the production, processing, packaging, distribution, and retailing of food and drink items. To streamline operations, the industry employs artificial intelligence in supply chain management, ensuring efficient inventory management, minimizing the risk of stockouts, and optimizing distribution and logistics networks for timely and cost-effective product delivery. For example, the USDA Rural Development 2021 Highlights report notes $467.20 billion in food and beverage (F&B) sales in 2021. Additionally, a report from Kirin Holdings Company Limited reveals a global consumption of about 185.60 million kiloliters of beer in 2021, reflecting a 4.0% increase from the previous year. Hence, the growing demand in the food and beverage industry is a significant driver for the artificial intelligence in the supply chain market.

A noteworthy trend in the artificial intelligence in the supply chain market is the prevalence of technological advancements. Major companies operating in this market are actively adopting advanced technologies to maintain their market position. An illustrative example is project44, a US-based software development company, which launched Movement GPT in April 2023.
