The increased adoption is driven by the growing enterprise digitalization and the need for data-driven strategic decision-making. Synthetic data generation for NLP supports AI-powered decision-making tools by providing rich, scalable text datasets, which enhance model accuracy and improve decision-making efficiency. For example, in January 2025, Eurostat, the Luxembourg-based statistical office of the European Union, reported that 13.5% of enterprises with 10 or more employees used AI technologies in 2024, up from 8% in 2023, reflecting a 5.5 percentage-point increase. Consequently, the rise in adoption of AI-powered decision-making tools is fueling the growth of the synthetic data generation for NLP market.

Major companies in the synthetic data generation for natural language processing (NLP) market are focusing on developing advanced platforms, such as AI-powered synthetic data generators, to improve efficiency, enhance data privacy, and reduce the time and cost of dataset creation. An AI-powered synthetic data generator is a tool that uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to automatically generate artificial text datasets that replicate real-world data based on natural language descriptions. For example, in December 2024, Hugging Face, a US-based open-source AI platform company, launched the Synthetic Data Generator. This user-friendly, web-based tool enables the creation of datasets for tasks like text classification and conversational AI through a simple three-step process, significantly reducing the technical barriers and manual effort. It includes features such as automatic system prompt generation and configuration refinement, enabling seamless creation of tailored datasets without deep technical expertise. Additionally, it integrates directly with platforms like Argilla for dataset review and Hugging Face AutoTrain for immediate model training, creating a streamlined workflow from prompt to deployed model.

In October 2025, KPMG LLP, a US-based professional services firm, acquired the intellectual property and technology assets of YData Labs Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows KPMG to establish a synthetic data center of excellence and integrate YData’s platform to offer end-to-end synthetic data solutions for clients needing privacy-preserving datasets. YData Labs is a US-based technology provider specializing in synthetic data platforms and tools for generating realistic, privacy-safe datasets for AI, machine learning, and NLP model development.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs have had a relatively limited but noticeable impact on the synthetic data generation for nlp market by increasing costs of imported computing hardware and infrastructure required for on-premises deployments and high-performance model training. The effects are more evident in regions reliant on cross-border hardware supply chains, particularly in parts of Asia-Pacific and Europe. Cloud-based and software-centric segments face lower direct exposure, encouraging a shift toward cloud deployment models. In some cases, tariffs have positively accelerated adoption of locally hosted cloud services and software-only synthetic data solutions.

Synthetic data generation for natural language processing (NLP) refers to the creation of artificial, machine-generated text datasets used to train, validate, or augment NLP models. It leverages techniques such as large language models, rule-based systems, and data augmentation to mimic real-world linguistic patterns. This process includes tools, services, and platforms that help organizations overcome data scarcity, reduce labeling costs, and improve model performance while protecting privacy.

The main components of synthetic data generation for NLP include software and services. Software refers to AI-driven platforms and algorithms designed to create, manipulate, and optimize synthetic datasets specifically for natural language processing tasks. These platforms help organizations improve model performance, ensure data privacy, and scale AI training efficiently. Deployment modes include on-premises and cloud environments.
