1 The next Frontier for aI in China could Add $600 billion to Its Economy

In the past years, China has actually developed a solid structure to support its AI economy and made substantial contributions to AI internationally. Stanford University's AI Index, which evaluates AI improvements worldwide across numerous metrics in research, development, and economy, ranks China amongst the leading three nations for international AI vibrancy.1"Global AI Vibrancy Tool: Who's leading the global AI race?" Expert System Index, Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI), Stanford University, 2021 ranking. On research, for instance, China produced about one-third of both AI journal papers and AI citations worldwide in 2021. In financial financial investment, China represented almost one-fifth of international private financial investment funding in 2021, attracting $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 financial investment in AI by geographic area, 2013-21."

Five kinds of AI companies in China

In China, we discover that AI business typically fall into among 5 main categories:

Hyperscalers develop end-to-end AI innovation capability and team up within the environment to serve both business-to-business and business-to-consumer companies. Traditional industry companies serve customers straight by establishing and embracing AI in internal transformation, new-product launch, and consumer services. Vertical-specific AI business establish software application and solutions for particular domain usage cases. AI core tech companies provide access to computer vision, natural-language processing, voice recognition, and artificial intelligence abilities to develop AI systems. Hardware companies offer the hardware facilities to support AI need in calculating power and storage. Today, AI adoption is high in China in financing, retail, and high tech, which together represent more than one-third of the nation's AI market (see sidebar "5 kinds of AI companies in China").3 iResearch, iResearch serial market research study on China's AI industry III, December 2020. In tech, for instance, leaders Alibaba and ByteDance, both family names in China, have become understood for their extremely tailored AI-driven customer apps. In fact, the majority of the AI applications that have actually been commonly adopted in China to date have actually remained in consumer-facing industries, moved by the world's biggest internet customer base and the capability to engage with consumers in brand-new ways to increase client loyalty, profits, and market appraisals.

So what's next for AI in China?

About the research

This research study is based on field interviews with more than 50 professionals within McKinsey and throughout markets, together with extensive analysis of McKinsey market evaluations in Europe, the United States, Asia, and China particularly between October and November 2021. In performing our analysis, we looked outside of industrial sectors, such as financing and retail, where there are currently mature AI usage cases and clear adoption. In emerging sectors with the greatest value-creation capacity, we focused on the domains where AI applications are currently in market-entry stages and could have an out of proportion impact by 2030. Applications in these sectors that either remain in the early-exploration stage or have mature market adoption, such as manufacturing-operations optimization, were not the focus for the purpose of the study.

In the coming years, our research study suggests that there is significant chance for AI development in new sectors in China, including some where development and R&D spending have typically lagged worldwide counterparts: vehicle, transport, and logistics
