Here are some key points from their forecast:

AI Integration: Nearly half (49%) of technology leaders in PwC’s October 2024 Pulse Survey said that AI was “fully integrated” into their companies’ core business strategy. A third said AI was fully integrated into products and services1.

Economic Impact: PwC predicts that AI could contribute up to $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030. In 2025, the focus will be on achieving 20% to 30% gains in productivity, speed to market, and revenue through incremental value at scale.

Strategic Importance: PwC emphasizes that AI strategy is crucial for staying ahead in the competitive landscape. Companies that embed AI into their operational fabric are more likely to realize significant value1.

Productivity Gains: AI is expected to drive labor productivity improvements, which will be a key factor in initial GDP gains. This includes augmenting the productivity of the labor force and automating some tasks and roles2.

Consumer Demand: AI-driven product enhancements are projected to stimulate consumer demand, contributing to economic growth. This includes greater product variety, personalization, attractiveness, and affordability2.

Regional Impact: The greatest economic gains from AI are expected in North America, with a projected 14.5% boost to GDP by 2030.

PwC's forecast highlights the transformative potential of AI investments and the importance of strategic planning to harness this potential effectively.
