Among the three technology categories, AI software occupied 88 percent of the overall AI market.

"However, in terms of growth, AI Hardware is estimated to grow the fastest in the next several years. From 2023 onwards, AI Services is forecast to become the fastest-growing category," the report showed.

In the AI Server market, there were a total of six companies that generated over $500 million each in 2020 - Dell, HPE, Huawei, IBM, Inspur, and Lenovo. Together, they held 62 percent of the overall market share.

"We have now entered the domain of AI-augmented work and decision across all the functional areas of a business. Responsible creation and use of AI solutions that can sense, predict, respond, and adapt at speed is an important business imperative," Jyoti said in a statement.

The AI services market was estimated at $19.4 billion in 2020, representing the fastest growth relative to hardware and software.

By 2021, it is forecast to grow at 19.3 percent. Over the next five years, it is expected to enjoy the best CAGR at 21 percent.
