UnearthInsight: Global AI spending to exceed $1 trillion by 2030
AI is getting seriously big: global spending on artificial intelligence, including generative and agentic AI, is expected to top $1 trillion by 2030, says a new UnearthInsight report.
GenAI alone is set for a huge jump, from $236 billion in 2026 to almost $1.2 trillion in 2030.
With businesses piling into AI apps and cloud tech, overall tech spending could hit more than $8.5 trillion.
Agentic AI growing over 80% annually
North America is way ahead, making up 62% of global AI spending by fiscal 2026.
The biggest spenders are large companies (over $10 billion in revenue), who account for around 42% of the enterprise AI market.
Enterprise platforms are grabbing a bigger slice of the market, and agentic AI (think super-smart digital agents) is growing at over 80% each year as budgets shift from old-school IT toward next-gen tech.
