Read MoreHide Full Article

Addressing the audience at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia and Tech Conference, Nvidia executive Manuvir Das shared remarkable statistics concerning the artificial intelligence (AI) market, as quoted on Yahoo Finance.

According to Das, AI’s total addressable market will constitute $300 billion in chips and systems and $150 billion each in generative AI and omniverse enterprise software, with the total amounting to a staggering $600 billion. This indicates the long-term growth potential of AI.

Das emphasized that accelerated computing is still in its early stages, while traditional CPU-based computing has mostly shifted locations, being more cloud-based, rather than fundamentally evolving. With more corporate functions relying on computing, there's growing demand for data centers and energy. Nvidia is poised to leverage this shift toward digital efficiency and sustainability with its accelerated computing approach.

Growth Potential of the AI Market

In 2023, the AI frenzy is evident. Despite concerns that AI's potential was already factored into the market and would take time to materialize, Nvidia's second-quarter success tells a different story. Dan Ives from Wedbush Securities anticipates a trillion-dollar AI spending surge over the next decade, with AI's pervasive influence extending across all sectors, from healthcare to transportation, entertainment to cybersecurity, leaving an indelible mark on every industry (Read: Nvidia Earnings Show AI Boom Is Here to Stay: ETFs in Focus).

According to a report by Fortune Business Insights, the global AI market, valued at $428 billion in 2022, is set to surge from $515 billion in 2023 to an astonishing $2.03 trillion by 2030, marking a remarkable CAGR of 21.6%.

Generative AI’s Growth

Generative AI refers to a category of AI technology capable of generating diverse forms of content, such as text, images, audio, and synthetic data. According to Forbes, the rising adoption of generative AI in small businesses, driven by its cost-effectiveness and capacity to enhance various business functions such as communication, customer service and coding, suggests a brighter growth outlook for this technology.

According to a report by Fortune Business Insights, the global market for generative AI is projected to witness a CAGR of 47.5% from 2023 to 2030. Valued at $43.87 billion in 2023, the market size of the technology is expected to reach $667.96 billion by 2030.
