AI In Hardware Market Expansion Drivers: What Is Shaping Future Growth?
The expanding reach of the Internet is anticipated to stimulate growth within the AI hardware market. Internet penetration, also known as Internet adoption, quantifies the proportion of a population or a specific demographic that can access the Internet. This widespread Internet access is crucial for advancing AI in hardware by facilitating data availability, supporting cloud-based computing, fostering cooperative efforts, enabling distant access to AI services, and contributing to the broad deployment of AI applications across various sectors. For example, in April 2023, the Gov.UK, a UK-based official government information website, reported that through Project Gigabit, £5 billion is being allocated to expand gigabit broadband networks, with the goal of providing gigabit connectivity to at least 85% of premises by 2025 and over 99% by 2030. Consequently, the rising Internet penetration is projected to positively influence the expansion of AI in the hardware market throughout the forecast period.
