In the previous decade, China has actually built a strong structure to support its AI economy and made substantial contributions to AI globally. Stanford University's AI Index, which evaluates AI improvements around the world throughout different metrics in research study, development, and economy, ranks China among the top three countries for international AI vibrancy.1"Global AI Vibrancy Tool: Who's leading the global AI race?" Artificial Intelligence Index, Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI), Stanford University, 2021 ranking. On research, for example, China produced about one-third of both AI journal documents and AI citations worldwide in 2021. In economic financial investment, China accounted for nearly one-fifth of worldwide private financial investment funding in 2021, bring in $17 billion for AI start-ups.2 Daniel Zhang et al., Artificial Intelligence Index report 2022, Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI), Stanford University, March 2022, Figure 4.2.6, "Private investment in AI by geographic location, 2013-21."
Five kinds of AI companies in China
In China, we discover that AI companies generally fall into one of five main categories:
Hyperscalers develop end-to-end AI innovation capability and team up within the ecosystem to serve both business-to-business and business-to-consumer business.
Traditional market business serve customers straight by establishing and adopting AI in internal change, new-product launch, and customer care.
Vertical-specific AI companies establish software and solutions for specific domain usage cases.
AI core tech companies supply access to computer system vision, natural-language processing, voice acknowledgment, and artificial intelligence capabilities to establish AI systems.
Hardware business provide the hardware infrastructure to support AI demand in calculating power and storage.
Today, AI adoption is high in China in financing, retail, and high tech, which together account for more than one-third of the country's AI market (see sidebar "5 kinds of AI companies in China").3 iResearch, iResearch serial marketing research on China's AI market III, December 2020. In tech, for instance, leaders Alibaba and ByteDance, both home names in China, have become understood for their highly tailored AI-driven customer apps. In reality, the majority of the AI applications that have been widely embraced in China to date have remained in consumer-facing markets, moved by the world's largest internet consumer base and the capability to engage with consumers in new methods to increase customer commitment, earnings, and market appraisals.
So what's next for AI in China?
About the research
This research is based upon field interviews with more than 50 specialists within McKinsey and throughout industries, in addition to substantial analysis of McKinsey market assessments in Europe, the United States, Asia, and China specifically in between October and November 2021. In performing our analysis, we looked outside of industrial sectors, such as financing and retail, where there are already fully grown AI usage cases and clear adoption. In emerging sectors with the highest value-creation potential, we concentrated on the domains where AI applications are presently in market-entry stages and might have an out of proportion effect by 2030. Applications in these sectors that either remain in the early-exploration stage or have mature industry adoption, such as manufacturing-operations optimization, were not the focus for the purpose of the research study.
In the coming years, our research suggests that there is tremendous opportunity for AI growth in brand-new sectors in China, including some where innovation and R&D spending have actually typically lagged global equivalents: vehicle, transportation, and logistics
