The increasing adoption of smartphones is expected to support the growth of the artificial intelligence (AI) image enhancer market going forward. A smartphone is a portable device that integrates the functions of a mobile phone with advanced computing capabilities. Smartphone adoption continues to rise due to factors such as enhanced connectivity, growth in digital payments, technological advancements, and deeper social integration. AI image enhancers are incorporated into smartphones to automatically improve image quality with minimal user effort by enhancing details and reducing imperfections directly on the device. For example, in February 2023, according to Uswitch Limited, a UK-based financial conduct authority, there were approximately 71.8 million mobile connections in the United Kingdom in 2022. By 2025, the population is projected to reach 68.3 million, with about 95%, or nearly 65 million people, expected to own a smartphone. Therefore, rising smartphone adoption is contributing to the growth of the artificial intelligence image enhancer market.

Leading companies operating in the artificial intelligence (AI) image enhancer market are focusing on developing technologically advanced products, such as AI-powered image enhancement and creation tools, to automate complex editing tasks and deliver high-quality visual results. AI-powered image enhancement and creation tools use artificial intelligence algorithms to automatically improve, modify, or generate images with enhanced quality, detail, and creativity. For example, in May 2024, Wix, an Israel-based SaaS website builder, launched AI Image Creator, Object Eraser, and AI Image Editor. These AI-powered tools provide a simplified approach to visual content creation by streamlining image generation and editing processes. Powered by Stability.ai, the AI Image Creator produces high-quality images from text prompts in multiple styles. The Object Eraser feature allows users to remove unwanted elements easily, while the AI Image Editor enables image modifications through simple prompts, such as changing a table’s material from wood to marble, without requiring professional photo-editing expertise.

In July 2024, Canva, an Australia-based graphic design company, acquired Leonardo.AI for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition supported Leonardo in further developing its platform and accelerating user growth, including the expansion of its application programming interface business and increased investment in foundational model research and development. Leonardo.AI is an Australia-based AI-powered platform that enables users to create digital art, images, and videos.
