AI build-out requires $2.6T annually by 2030, driven by enterprise spending

A new analysis from the BCG Institute suggests the AI ecosystem will require approximately $2.6 trillion in annual end-market spending by 2030 to support its infrastructure and development. Enterprises are projected to be the largest contributors, needing to allocate $1.8 trillion, which may necessitate reallocating funds from existing technology budgets and increasing overall IT spending. The growth of the AI industry is heavily reliant on corporate investment, requiring CFOs to demonstrate clear productivity gains, cost reductions, or competitive advantages to justify these expenditures to their boards.
