AI Advisors, Agents and the Future of ALM: Is Market Demand Outpacing Vendor Supply?

This IDC Market Perspective highlights the ALM market, which is rapidly embracing GenAI and emerging agentic AI, with strong user adoption driven by predictive maintenance gains and unmet demand for embedded, domain-specific AI capabilities within ALM platforms."IDC global survey data indicates that generative and agentic AI solutions were being used by ALM applications customers in the first half of 2025, even though no embedded solutions were available in the market at that time; so the market for embedded applications for both GenAI and agentic AI should be strong." - Brian O'Rourke, research manager, Enterprise Asset Management and Smart Facilities, IDC
