AI Consulting and Support Services cover a specialized set of advisory and technical services, allowing organizations to strategically adopt, implement and maintain artificial intelligence (AI) technologies for enhancing their operations, decision-making and overall business objectives. AI Consulting Services offer expert guidance to businesses at different stages of their AI journey, ranging from initial strategy to deployment and integration. Major aspects include assessment & analytics, development of AI strategy, designing & implementing solutions, preparing & managing data, selecting & developing AI models, AI governance & ethics and training & education. The focus of AI Support Services, parallelly, is on monitoring & optimization, troubleshooting & resolution of issues, maintenance & updates, scalability & reliability, enhancement of performance and knowledge transfer. Essentially, whereas AI Consulting is concerned with providing a working AI solution, AI Support's task is to make sure that that solution continues to perform optimally and evolve with specific organizational requirements.
The global AI Consulting and Support Services market, valued at US$14 billion in 2024, is forecast to expand at a CAGR of 31.6% during 2024-2030 to reach US$72.8 billion by 2030. AI adoption is accelerating across sectors such as healthcare, finance, retail, and manufacturing, driven by automation, competitive differentiation, and enhanced customer experience. Nearly 70% of global businesses are already implementing or planning AI integration as part of digital transformation, creating strong demand for consulting and support expertise. Rising volumes of structured and unstructured data are amplifying the need for advisory services to generate actionable insights and manage silos. Large-scale investments, including the EU's US$1 billion AI Innovation Fund and India's US$7 billion India AI Mission, are further boosting demand. Increasing focus on ethical deployment and compliance with data privacy regulations is prompting companies to engage consultants, especially since around 37% cite lack of in-house expertise as a key barrier.
North America leads the global market with a 36.8% share in 2024. The United States, home to major AI innovators such as Google, Microsoft, and IBM, benefits from advanced infrastructure, cloud penetration, and strict privacy laws like the CCPA that reinforce demand for consulting services. High adoption levels across BFSI, healthcare, and retail further underpin the region's leadership. Asia-Pacific is poised to record the fastest CAGR of 36.9% between 2024 and 2030, fueled by rapid digital transformation in China, India, Singapore, and beyond. Government funding, vibrant tech hubs, and strong AI talent pools are supporting aggressive adoption in manufacturing, finance, and e-commerce. Consulting firms are increasingly sought to deliver scalable, localized solutions, ensure compliance with emerging AI regulations, and enable SMEs and startups to implement AI affordably.
Analytics Consulting is the largest service type, representing 38.1% of the global market in 2024. Its strength lies in enabling businesses to derive actionable insights through predictive analytics, ML, and big data, while optimizing processes and customer engagement. Digital Strategy & Transformation is forecast to be the fastest-growing service, registering a CAGR of 36.2% between 2024 and 2030. Demand is fueled by the need for end-to-end integration of AI into business functions, helping organizations realign models, processes, and customer experiences around AI.
Large Enterprises dominate with a 63.1% share in 2024, supported by greater budgets, complex global operations, and strong partnerships with leading consultancies like Accenture, Deloitte, and IBM. Their need for scalable, compliant AI strategies sustains leadership. SMEs, however, are expected to post a rapid CAGR of 35.9% through 2030, driven by accessible cloud-based AI tools, agility in adoption, and tailored consulting packages. Government support programs and AIaaS models are further enabling SMEs to leverage AI without heavy upfront investment.
BFSI is the largest sector, with a 22.1% share in 2024. The industry leverages AI for fraud detection, risk management, automation, and hyper-personalized financial services. Healthcare is forecast to expand the fastest, with a CAGR of 36.6% during 2024-2030, as consulting services become critical for managing massive healthcare datasets, deploying predictive models, integrating AI decision support systems, and ensuring regulatory compliance. Telemedicine and remote monitoring adoption post-COVID-19 is also boosting consulting demand.
