Consultants estimate annual AI revenue needs to reach $6 trillion by 2031 to fund rising infrastructure costs.

Bain & Company’s 2026 Global Technology Report says the AI sector must generate $6 trillion a year by 2031 to keep funding the hardware and data‑center capacity it needs. The estimate assumes AI capex will stay at about 25 % of total revenue. Bain also projects AI infrastructure spending could hit $1.5 trillion annually by 2031, up from $780 billion in 2026.
Without that revenue growth, the industry may struggle to afford the massive compute hardware it depends on.
