Current and Forecasted Market Capitalization of Selected New and Emerging Technologies: AI, Quantum Tech, 6G, Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing), Computational Fluid Dynamics, and Automation/Robotics

     I was curious about this, so I did some quick research to estimate comparative market caps for these new technologies. AI dominates, with a current market cap estimated at $53 trillion. The AI market cap is about 36 times the next highest market cap, which is automation and robotics. AI market cap is about 2600 times that of the lowest on the list, which is quantum computing technology, a newer, currently less applicable, and less developed technology.

     The second-highest tech market cap is automation and robotics, which is about 5 times that of additive manufacturing. Estimates vary widely for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and 6G.

     It should be noted that these technologies are often used together.

     Additive manufacturing is expected to grow by about 6 times over the next decade, computational fluid dynamics by 2 times, and 6G by about 12 times. AI and automation growth will likely grow much faster than these, but I didn’t find readily available data for them. AI is the future, at least for now, followed by automation and robotics, additive manufacturing, 6G, CFD, and quantum tech.
