AI PC market seen reaching $176.99B by 2030

The artificial intelligence personal computer market is projected to jump from $62.53 billion in 2025 to $176.99 billion by 2030, driven by hybrid work, on-device AI and demand for faster, more secure computing. North America led in 2025, while Asia-Pacific is expected to grow fastest.

Why it matters: - AI PCs are becoming a mainstream category as companies and consumers look for faster local processing, better privacy and less reliance on the cloud. - The market’s projected rise signals a broader shift toward devices built to run AI features directly on the PC.

What happened: - The Business Research Company said the artificial intelligence personal computer market will grow from $62.53 billion in 2025 to $77.21 billion in 2026. - The firm projects the market will reach $176.99 billion by 2030, implying a 23.0% CAGR over the forecast period. - The company also said the market grew at a 23.5% CAGR in the recent period.

The details: - AI personal computers use dedicated AI processing units to handle AI workloads on the device. - The systems are designed for on-device machine learning, intelligent automation, real-time data analysis and AI-assisted functions. - The category is meant to improve performance, security, power efficiency and user productivity. - The report links near-term growth to demand for high-performance computing devices, broader adoption of AI applications, faster data processing and energy-efficient computing. - The forecast through 2030 is tied to demand for real-time AI features on devices, AI-assisted software development, AI-powered content creation, stronger device-level security and less dependence on cloud processing. - Expected market trends include wider adoption of AI-enabled PCs, more AI accelerators, growing demand for AI-enabled laptops and workstations, and AI-optimized hardware. - The Business Research Company said the report’s 2026 edition includes market attractiveness scoring, total addressable market analysis, company scoring matrix graphics and tables, Excel-based forecasting dashboards, market hotspots infographics, key technology and future trend analysis, and updated graphics and tables.

Between the lines: - Hybrid and remote work are helping push adoption because AI PCs can support video conferencing, noise cancellation, live transcription, security and workflow optimization on the device. - That matters because more work is moving across home and office settings, where privacy and speed are becoming part of the hardware decision. - In early 2025, the UK Office for National Statistics said 28% of employed adults in Great Britain worked in hybrid settings and 13% worked entirely from home. - North America held the largest market share in 2025, while Asia-Pacific is expected to post the fastest growth during the forecast period. - The report covers Asia-Pacific, South East Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East and Africa.

What's next: - The market’s next phase will likely center on more AI features built into laptops and workstations as vendors compete on speed, security and on-device capability. - Faster growth in Asia-Pacific could reshape the regional balance if adoption accelerates as projected. - The company is offering a free sample report and full report access through its website: Free sample report and Full market report.
