Digital Transformation Global Market Report 2025

Digital transformation, denoting the utilization of digital technology to innovate or modify business processes, organizational cultures, and customer experiences, relies on tools such as cloud computing, big data analytics, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things. These solutions empower traditional enterprises to streamline operations, reduce operational overhead, and enhance overall efficiency.

The primary categories of digital transformation encompass cloud computing, big data and analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and blockchain. Cloud computing is widely adopted by organizations leveraging digital technologies to create or adapt their services and business processes. Cloud service providers offer a pay-as-you-go cloud platform, allowing clients to store business databases and optimize their operations. Utilizing virtual technology, the cloud-based server hosts the client's applications off-premises, providing convenient access for business operations. Deployment options include both cloud and on-premises, catering to the needs of large enterprises and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Diverse end-user sectors, including BFSI, healthcare, telecom and IT, automotive, retail and consumer goods, manufacturing, government, and others, benefit from these digital transformation initiatives.

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.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the information technology sector, especially in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Increased duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have driven up production and operating costs for tech companies, cloud service providers, and data centers. Firms that depend on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are grappling with extended lead times and mounting pricing pressures. At the same time, tariffs on specialized software and retaliatory actions by key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and dampened foreign demand for U.S.-made technologies. In response, the sector is ramping up investments in domestic chip production, broadening its supplier network, and leveraging AI-powered automation to improve resilience and manage costs more effectively.

The digital transformation market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1755.44 billion in 2024 to $2105.59 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to strong economic growth in emerging markets, growing adoption of digital transformation in healthcare, increase in data volume generation, and increasing adoption of 5g networks.

The digital transformation market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4315.18 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing availability of mobile devices, government initiatives, increasing Internet penetration, increasing spending on marketing and advertising activities by enterprises, and increasing demand for industrial automation. Major trends in the forecast period include artificial intelligence capabilities, digital transformation series, creative networks, product launches, Internet of things, startups in big data and analytics, and strategic partnership and collaboration.

The forecast of 19.6% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.5% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Broad digital transformation initiatives in the U.S. could be delayed as tariffs increase prices for imported AI, analytics, and edge-computing infrastructure vital for large-scale upgrades. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The growing implementation of machine learning and artificial intelligence is anticipated to propel the expansion of the digital transformation market in the future. Digital transformation offers traditional businesses solutions such as cloud computing, big data and analytics, data management, and advanced features like artificial intelligence and machine learning. These solutions assist in optimizing business operations, reducing operational efforts, and enhancing efficiency. Consequently, their utilization has increased across various sectors, including healthcare, banking, transportation, manufacturing, and more, boosting demand in the digital transformation market. For example, in May 2022, the International Business Machines Corporation (IBM), a technology company based in the US, reported that 35% of businesses globally utilized artificial intelligence (AI) in 2022, marking a 4% rise from 2021. Furthermore, there was a 13% increase in organizations adopting AI in 2022 compared to the previous year. Therefore, the growing adoption of machine learning and AI significantly drives the digital transformation market.

An increasing trend toward remote work and collaboration in developed nations is projected to drive the growth of the digital transformation market throughout the forecast period. Remote work and collaboration involve individuals or teams effectively working together from various locations using digital tools and technologies. This trend has been spurred by technological advancements, evolving work preferences, and the necessity for flexibility in response to global events like the COVID-19 pandemic. Digital technologies that support remote work include collaboration tools, cloud computing, and communication platforms, which enable seamless connectivity, project management, and real-time interaction among dispersed teams. For example, in February 2023, Buffer, a US-based social media management platform, reported that 98% of respondents desire to work remotely, at least part-time, for the remainder of their careers, up from 97% in 2022. Moreover, 98% would recommend remote work to others, also an increase from 97% the previous year. Thus, the growing shift toward remote work and collaboration is expected to significantly contribute to the expansion of the digital transformation market.

The capabilities of artificial intelligence are emerging as a significant trend in the digital transformation market. AI is increasingly driving digital transformation through innovations such as machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), data labeling platforms, and predictive analytics. For example, in June 2024, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED), a department of the Canadian government, reported that the AI market is expected to reach $891 billion by 2028, with potential growth exceeding $1 trillion by 2030. In Canada, the AI market was valued at $6.5 billion in 2023 and is projected to expand at an annual growth rate of 33.9% from 2023 to 2028, reaching $28.2 billion by 2028.

Key companies in the market are concentrating on launching new products, such as digital business platforms, to enhance their offerings. A digital business platform is an integrated ecosystem that unifies digital tools, technologies, and services to streamline operations, foster collaboration, and promote innovation within an organization. For instance, in June 2022, Siemens AG, a technology company based in Germany, introduced Siemens Xcelerator, an open digital business platform aimed at accelerating digital transformation. Siemens Xcelerator is specifically designed to expedite digital transformation across various industries. It combines IoT, AI, and advanced analytics to provide scalable solutions that improve collaboration and innovation, ultimately optimizing product development and operational efficiency for organizations of all sizes.
