The Pitch Avatar team has collected data from authoritative sources that highlight the key current financial indicators of the artificial intelligence industry and expectations for its development in the near future.
Before moving on to the most interesting part — the numbers — it is worth noting that none of the apocalyptic predictions claiming that the “AI investment bubble would burst” or that the “financial AI pyramid would collapse” in 2025 came true. On the contrary, the optimists who argued that the next “AI winter” was still a long way off turned out to be right.
AI Market Size in 2025 + Forecast
According to MarketsandMarkets, the global AI market grew from $257.68 billion in 2024 to $371.71 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $2.407 trillion by 2032. For the sake of balance, it is worth noting the more conservative estimates provided by Statista. This source values the global AI market at $254.5 billion in 2025 and projects growth to $1.68 trillion by 2031.
AI Software Market Size in 2025 + Forecast
According to ABI Research, the artificial intelligence software market grew to $174.1 billion in 2025, up from $122 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach $467 billion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25%.

Level of Investment in AI
Summary
In conclusion, let us return once again to the opening point and explain why the Pitch Avatar team tends to be skeptical of negative economic forecasts regarding AI. Those predicting a sharp decline in the AI industry fail to account for the full potential of these technologies and the extraordinarily wide range of sectors in which they can be implemented and applied. Even at the current stage of development, AI solutions are built on a vast scientific and engineering foundation that will be sufficient for years — if not decades — to come. Moreover, AI technologies are more flexible than any that came before them: they are capable of adapting to new market and consumer requirements in months, weeks, or even days. That is precisely why we recommend looking to the future of the AI industry with optimism and focusing first and foremost on positive scenarios.
Good luck to everyone, and successful work with AI!
