Global spending on artificial intelligence (AI) is projected to reach nearly $1.5 trillion in 2025, according to a recent forecast by Gartner, Inc. . This growth is driven primarily by continued investments in IT infrastructure.
John-David Lovelock, a Distinguished VP Analyst at Gartner, attributes this surge to major hyperscalers and cloud providers who are increasing their investments in data centers equipped with AI-optimized hardware and GPUs. The AI investment landscape is also diversifying beyond traditional U.S. tech giants, with significant contributions from Chinese companies and new AI cloud providers. Additionally, a strong flow of venture capital investment in AI startups is further fueling this trend.
Looking ahead, Gartner anticipates that global AI spending will surpass $2 trillion in 2026. This future growth will be largely fueled by the integration of AI capabilities into consumer products, such as smartphones and PCs, in addition to ongoing infrastructure development.
