Analyst Opinion
Matchmaking has become a big business since the early days of online dating. As these services build on some high complexity algorithms and personality tests, they remain quite expensive and therefore still generate the most revenues in the market. The market is already highly saturated, thus growth rates cannot be expected to be high in the next years. Due to the increasing amount of free services, the industry needs to explore new revenue streams and add extra value to their services. Widespread application of Artificial Intelligence could extend to AI coaching from profile recommendations to relationship and life coaching.
