Generative AI continues to streamline processes and improve experiences across industries worldwide. In manufacturing, for example, AI-powered robots and automation systems optimize production processes, reduce manual labor, and improve workplace safety. Thousands of AI-powered robots have been deployed by companies such as Foxconn in China to boost efficiency and staff well-being. According to reports, artificial intelligence (AI) technology could contribute up to $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030. Significant investments in generative AI technology have been made in China and the Asia Pacific area. According to reports, China will become the world's largest AI market by 2025, with investments expected to exceed $70 billion. This substantial investment indicates the region's dedication to artificial intelligence-driven innovation and its potential economic benefit.
Cloud-Based Automation SMBs and Mid-Markets in Asia Pacific
To explore the opportunities through generative AI, half of AsiaPacific SMB and mid-market segments plan to employ cloud-based automation applications for HCM, CRM, project management, and analytics activities. As a result, software suppliers in these industries have a major chance to give solutions to businesses and acquire a competitive advantage. To keep ahead of the competition, CRM, HCM, project management, and data analytics software suppliers are investigating generative AI technologies and introducing new features and tools that can assist SMBs and midmarket enterprises in augmenting human capabilities and accelerating time to market.
“Generative AI holds transformative potential for SMBs and the mid-market segment, enhancing productivity, efficiency, and decision-making. It facilitates a deeper understanding of customer needs, fostering personalization and innovation in products and services. However, given the vulnerability of SMBs and midmarket companies, it is critical to make responsible use of this technology that benefits everyone," says Supriya Deka, senior market analyst, IDC Asia/Pacific SMB and Midmarket Program.
