IDC Predicts: Asia/Pacific* Business Leaders to Demand 80% Success Rate on GenAI Initiatives by 2027

IDC Asia Pacific unveiled its latest technology predictions for 2025-2029, revealing that Asia/Pacific* business leaders will demand 80% success rate on GenAI initiatives by 2027. This ambitious target aims to boost efficiency and revenue growth.

The AI Pivot will move from the initial "scramble" of GenAI experimentation, currently at a 62% success rate, to comprehensive AI integration within enterprises. This shift urges businesses to move beyond pilot projects and embed AI into core operations, aiming for measurable success and strategic outcomes by 2027.

IDC also forecasts that AI will be a major driver of economic growth in the Asia/Pacific region. AI-related spending is projected to grow 1.7x faster than overall digital technology investments over the next three years. This surge is expected to generate a projected $1.6 trillion economic impact by the end of 2027 across Asia/Pacific Japan.
