The artificial intelligence systems spending market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.79 trillion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 47.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth in artificial general intelligence research investments, rise in managed AI services, adoption of edge AI devices, increased spending on AI system scalability and optimization, integration of AI systems with emerging immersive technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include increased investment in AI systems, ai-driven decision support, adoption of automated AI services, integration of AI with enterprise it infrastructure, spending on AI system security and compliance.

The rising demand for automation is expected to drive the growth of the artificial intelligence systems spending market in the coming years. Automation involves the use of technology and systems to perform tasks or processes with minimal human intervention and is increasingly adopted by organizations to improve operational efficiency. The growth in automation adoption is fueled by the need to streamline repetitive, rule-based tasks - particularly in areas such as back-office operations, customer service, and financial processing - while reducing costs and errors. Artificial intelligence systems support automation by providing the software, hardware, and integrated platforms needed to execute, scale, and optimize automated processes. For example, in 2024, according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), a France-based intergovernmental organization, approximately 34 % of jobs across its member countries were classified as being at ‘high risk’ of automation. Thus, the growing demand for automation is propelling the expansion of the artificial intelligence systems spending market.

Leading companies in the artificial intelligence systems spending market are developing advanced AI-driven platforms, such as EY.AI Workforce, to enable informed, insight-based decision-making and accelerate business transformation. These platforms combine human expertise with advanced analytics, machine learning, and AI-powered automation to optimize strategic planning, risk management, tax, transactions, and operational workflows. For instance, in October 2023, Ernst & Young Global Limited, a UK-based professional services firm, launched EY.AI Workforce, developed in collaboration with IBM. The platform integrates automation from IBM Watsonx Orchestrate with EY’s HR transformation knowledge, enhancing productivity and workflow efficiency and helping organizations embed AI seamlessly into critical HR processes for more intelligent, data-driven enterprise operations.
