2.2 AI and AIGC Market

  • AI Market: Gartner predicts that the global market for AI-driven smart devices will reach $1.2 trillion by 2025, with a growth rate exceeding 15% annually. AI technologies are increasingly applied in autonomous driving, natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, and other fields, driving sustained growth in computing demand.

  • AIGC Market: The AIGC industry has emerged as a new hotspot in the AI sector. Platforms like MetaFlow (2025) demonstrate the rapid adoption of AIGC technologies in content creation (e.g., AI-generated art, music generation). Generating a high-quality AI image may require hundreds of GPU minutes, while creating complex video content demands thousands of GPU hours. This high demand for computing power positions decentralized supercomputing blockchains as critical infrastructure for the AIGC industry’s growth.

  • Global Computing Demand: The Asia-Pacific region exhibits particularly strong growth in AI computing demand. By 2025, the Asia-Pacific AI market is expected to reach $500 billion, with China, India, and Southeast Asian countries serving as key growth drivers.
