Global AI Spending to Grow 47% in 2026
Gartner forecasts global AI spending to reach $2.59 trillion in 2026, a 47% year‑over‑year increase. AI‑optimized infrastructure – including servers, IaaS, networking and semiconductors – will dominate the market, accounting for over 45% of spend. Within that segment, AI‑optimized servers are expected to triple, driven by cloud providers expanding capacity for generative AI models and agentic workflows. Enterprises will broaden AI use but remain focused on tactical, efficiency‑oriented projects, leaving a gap between hype and measurable business outcomes.
