Agentic AI is experiencing a hyper-growth phase as enterprises transition from task-based automation to autonomous systems, with the US and China at the forefront, according to GlobalData. This shift is redefining organisational operations as companies move from pilot projects to full-scale production, leveraging self-correcting digital workers for enhanced scale and agility.
GlobalData's report, "Market Opportunity Forecasts to 2029: Agentic AI," projects the global agentic AI market to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 50.6% from 2024 to 2029, reaching $45.4 billion. The demand for autonomous decision-making and scalable AI infrastructure is driving this surge as organisations seek to enhance operational intelligence.
Rena Bhattacharyya, Chief Analyst at GlobalData, stated, “Agentic AI is moving enterprises beyond static, rule-based automation towards systems that can plan, reason, and self-correct. This evolution matters because organisations are no longer looking for tools that simply execute tasks—they need autonomous digital workers that can handle complexity, learn from interactions, and drive real operational agility at scale.”
Asia-Pacific has emerged as the largest regional market, with $3 billion in revenue for 2025, surpassing North America's $2.6 billion. This growth is supported by government-backed AI initiatives and widespread deployment across sectors such as manufacturing and healthcare.
Rohit Sharma, Lead Analyst at GlobalData, noted that enterprises are retiring rule-based automation in favour of autonomous systems, achieving up to 90% touchless operations in some workflows. As businesses prioritise agility and workforce augmentation, agentic AI is set to become a cornerstone of digital transformation strategies globally.
