Size of the AI market in China 2016-2024

In 2023, the size of the Chinese AI market amounted to over 213 billion yuan. Since 2016, the market size has increased significantly. On the background of international competition, the Chinese government strived to make the country a leader in AI technology, designating the sector as a key industry of strategic importance. The foundation of AITo apply artificial intelligence in the real world, AI-sensors, AI-specific chipsets, and appropriate server infrastructure is required. Furthermore, software must be designed with algorithms that allow the AI to interact and perform tasks in the real world. Examples are natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, or robotics. Areas of applicationArtificial intelligence has seemingly unlimited application across all market segments. Currently, with around 50 percent of the market share, official city governance and operations accounts for the largest segment of the AI economy. In approximately 750 pilot cities, the Chinese government has been developing and testing smart city models.

至2023年，我国人工智能市场规模已超过2130亿元人民币。自2016年起，市场规模显著增长。在国际竞争的大背景下，我国政府致力于使国家成为人工智能技术的领导者，将该领域定位为具有战略重要性的关键产业。为了将人工智能应用于现实世界，需要AI传感器、专用芯片组以及相应的服务器基础设施。此外，软件设计需采用算法，使AI能够与现实世界进行交互并执行任务。例如，自然语言处理（NLP）、计算机视觉或机器人技术。应用领域方面，人工智能在所有市场细分领域均展现出看似无限的适用性。目前，约占据市场50%份额的城市官方治理与运营成为人工智能经济中最大的细分市场。在我国约750个试点城市中，政府一直在开发和测试智慧城市模型。
