The growth of the Russian artificial intelligence market was assessed

The Russian market for big data and artificial intelligence (AI) grew by 20 percent in 2025, to more than 0.5 trillion rubles (528 billion). Kommersant provides such estimates with reference to research data from the Big Data Association (BDA), the consulting company B1 and the TAdviser portal.

It is noted that these growth rates were twice as high as the dynamics of the IT market as a whole, and at the end of this year, experts expect a slowdown in the growth of the AI ​​market due to the fact that companies have completed quick-impact projects, and the next ones will require more resources and costs due to a shortage of computing power, a lack of high-quality data and machine learning specialists.

“We are counting on increasing the availability of data, removing regulatory barriers and promoting the development of the data market in the Russian Federation,” said DBA Director Ilya Kananykin in a conversation with journalists, according to whom in the coming years the development of the market, in particular, will be determined by sovereign, national AI and strengthening requirements for data localization. The Association associates its further growth with the speed of companies’ transition from individual projects to the industrial application of AI.
