artificial intelligence (AI) adoption in key industries across India reached approximately 48% in FY2024, with expectations to expand by an additional 5-7% in FY25, data from staffing firm Teamlease Digital showed.
“Nearly 75% of organisations across various sectors are actively considering integrating AI into their operations within the next year,” Krishna Vij, business head, Teamlease Digital, told ET.
The banking and financial services (BFSI) industry led the pack with a 68% AI adoption rate in FY24, followed by the tech industry at 60-65%.
The AI adoption rate was 52% for the pharma and healthcare industry, 43% for fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) and retail, 28% for manufacturing, 20-22% for infrastructure and transport, and 10-12% for media and entertainment, Teamlease Digital found.
It estimated that the AI market size was $6 billion in 2023, projected to reach $20 billion by 2028, at a compound annual growth rate of 26%. Additionally, 60% of the AI market share is held by IT service providers, 8% by captives/global capability centres (GCC), and nearly 7% by the IT-enabled service (ITeS) providers.
Non-IT industries hold more than 28% of the total AI market share in India, Vij said, while BFSI has a 30% AI market share across all non-IT industries.
