Omdia: Agentic AI Outpacing Growth of Traditional Generative AI

The enterprise agentic AI software market is set to surge from $1.5 billion in 2025 to $41.8 billion by 2030, according to Omdia’s latest Enterprise Agentic AI Software Market Forecast.

The analysis shows agentic AI is significantly outperforming traditional generative AI at similar market stages. While generative AI’s initial 5-year CAGR (2022-2027) is projected at 90%, agentic AI’s forecast 5-year CAGR (2024-2029) reaches an impressive 175%. This accelerated adoption is driven by enterprise priorities for automation, with 39% of early adopters citing reduced costs and increased employee productivity as primary motivations for deployment. Previous generative AI infrastructure investments have paved the way for an easier market entry and quicker development for agentic AI, offering organizations the potential to achieve faster returns on investment.

“The agentic AI market is evolving rapidly as enterprises prioritize automation capabilities,” said Neil Dunay, Principal Forecaster at Omdia. “By 2030, agentic AI will represent 31% of the total generative AI market, up from just 6% in 2025.” The forecast identifies automated code development as the largest use case, projected to reach $8.2 billion by 2030, followed closely by virtual assistants (e.g., customer self-support agents) at $7.7 billion.
