The global market for artificial intelligence (AI)-related products and services is expected to grow at an annual rate of 40-55 per cent, and can reach up to USD 990 billion by 2027, a report has said. Bain & Company's 5th annual Global Technology Report said AI workloads could grow about 25-35 per cent per year through 2027.

Fluctuations in supply and demand will create volatility along the way, but a long-term, durable trajectory seems like it is here to stay," it said. As AI expands, the need for computing power will radically expand the scale of large data centers over the next five to 10 years, it added.

60% of businesses 'off track' to meet sustainability goals: Report

Over 60 per cent of businesses surveyed are "off track" to meet their sustainability goals, according to a report by Bain & Company, which also found that consumers are willing to shell out a premium for sustainable products. According to the report, a large number of people surveyed in India say they have a high level of concern about environment sustainability. This could be driven by the spiking levels of pollution in major cities and the rising incidence of flash floods in different parts of the country. Consumers in fast-growing markets, where Bain found environmental concerns to be highest, including India, were willing to pay a greater premium (between 15 and 20 per cent), compared to markets like the US and the UK. The report further said that an Indian consumer, however, is still at an early stage of understanding sustainability and a number of related behaviours are influenced by cultural norms and financial realities. "As extreme weather prompts growing environmental ...
