"By infrastructure, the networking hardware segment is expected to register the highest growth rate during the forecast period."
Networking hardware is set to be the fastest-growing segment in the AI market due to the increasing demand for high-speed, low-latency communication between AI systems, data centers, and edge devices. AI workloads, such as training large models and real-time data processing, require a robust and efficient networking infrastructure to handle vast amounts of data with minimal delay. Use cases like autonomous vehicles, where real-time data from sensors needs to be processed and communicated quickly, and edge AI deployments in manufacturing, where quick data transmission between devices and centralized systems is crucial, highlight the need for advanced networking hardware. Additionally, the growth of cloud-based AI solutions and the demand for AI in IoT applications are further driving the need for scalable, high-performance networking hardware to support these evolving technologies.
"By business function, marketing and sales is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period."
Marketing and sales are expected to dominate the AI market share, driven by AI's transformative impact on customer engagement and sales efficiency. AI enables hyper-personalized marketing, predictive analytics, and automation, leading to improved customer experiences and increased revenue. For instance, companies like Delta Air Lines and Mars utilize AI to optimize advertising strategies, resulting in substantial sales growth. Additionally, AI-powered tools like chatbots and predictive lead scoring enhance sales processes, boosting conversion rates and productivity. The integration of AI in marketing and sales not only streamlines operations but also delivers measurable returns on investment, solidifying its position as a key driver in the AI market.
"By region, North America to have the largest market share in 2025, and Asia Pacific is slated to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period."
North America continues to dominate the AI market, driven by substantial investments from major tech companies and supportive government policies. Companies like Nvidia and AMD are at the forefront, developing advanced AI hardware and software solutions. AI adoption across sectors such as predictive analytics in healthcare, personalized customer service in retail, and intelligent automation in finance continues to drive momentum. North America's strong emphasis on public-private collaboration, digital transformation, and AI education also contributes to its dominant market position. In January 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order 14179, aiming to enhance US leadership in AI by removing certain regulatory barriers and promoting AI development free from ideological bias. Additionally, Microsoft's USD 3.3 billion investment in an AI hub in Wisconsin underscores the region's ongoing commitment to AI advancement.
Asia Pacific is experiencing the fastest growth in the AI market, driven by proactive government policies, increasing digital transformation, and heavy investments by regional tech leaders. In China, companies like Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent are advancing AI across sectors, including autonomous driving, e-commerce, and healthcare. The Chinese government has introduced clear frameworks for generative AI services, providing regulatory clarity that supports innovation. Meanwhile, India has launched the IndiaAI initiative and recently established the IndiaAI Safety Institute to boost domestic R&D and ensure safe AI deployment. Countries across the region are leveraging AI for smart manufacturing, intelligent logistics, and advanced language processing. As digital economies mature and AI integration deepens, Asia Pacific is poised to be a global hotspot for AI innovation.
