The global generative AI market is projected to grow nearly ninefold by 2033, driven by enterprise adoption and rising investment in AI infrastructure, data centers, networking and cybersecurity.
According to a new MarketsandMarkets report, the global generative AI market is expected to grow from USD 185.45 billion in 2026 to USD 1,658.97 billion by 2033, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 36.8%.
Growth is being driven by the increasing deployment of foundation models, enterprise copilots, multimodal AI and autonomous agents. Companies are moving beyond isolated pilots and integrating generative AI into software development, customer operations, research, analytics and business-process automation.
Infrastructure investment supports AI expansion
Infrastructure is expected to account for the largest share of the generative AI market in 2026. Rising demand for AI accelerator chips, memory, storage and high-speed networking is supporting investment in increasingly dense computing environments required for model training and large-scale inference.
The transition to production deployments is also increasing demand for enterprise data integration, cybersecurity, AI governance and observability, as organizations seek to connect AI systems securely with corporate data and existing applications.
North America is expected to remain the largest regional market in 2026, supported by its concentration of semiconductor companies, hyperscale cloud providers, foundation-model developers and major enterprise technology buyers.
Key players
MarketsandMarkets identifies NVIDIA, OpenAI, Microsoft, AWS, Google, Anthropic, AMD, Cisco, IBM, Adobe and Salesforce among the major companies competing across AI infrastructure, models, platforms, applications and services.
