AIOps Market Growth Looks a Lot Like IT Ops Growth

This 2026 forecast for the information technology operations market looks suspiciously like projections for AIOps. Probably because most of the market is repurposed IT ops revenue, with AI features added. 


So here's one forecast for AIOps. 

And here's another. 


And another.

AIOps Platform Market Forecasts are Plentiful, but Are They Accurate?

There is no shortage of AIOps market studies, forecasts and estimates. The question some of us might have is whether AIOps revenue is actually incremental new revenue or simply some of that and a rebranding of legacy IT ops solutions. Personally, I'd lean towards the latter interpretation.

The AIOps platform market will see a 26 percent on a compound annual growth rate to 2026, according to Coherent Market Insights. How much of that growth is shifted from existing enterprise information technology or analytics spending budgets is not so clear. 



Other researchers see sales growth on the order of 25 percent CAGR until 2025, or as much as 34 percent, to reach $18.51 billion, by 2026, according to Data Bridge Market Research. 

Platform revenue is expected to be about $1.76 billion at the moment, according to Data Bridge.

AIOps is about Analytics Driving Insight

You still can get an argument about whether the primary purpose of AIOps is insight or action, but all agree inferences and insight are essential to the value proposition. 


Gartner predicts larger enterprises’ use of AIOps and digital experience monitoring tools for monitoring applications and infrastructure will rise from five percent in 2018 to 30 percent in 2023. 

The AIOps analytics market represented sales of about $2 billion in 2016, according to IDC. 


Automation, which is critical to running AIOps smoothly and efficiently, helps drive AIOps to perform, according to CIO:

  • Automated monitoring: discover the full environment and identify when new endpoints, such as a virtual server or machine, a new mobile device, or even a new cloud platform, are brought up
  • Automated AIOps: run AIOps while adhering to established policies and dependency mapping and requiring no advance configuration
  • Automated remediation: quickly and efficiently execute the necessary steps to resolve any fault or performance events

AIOps helps enterprises consolidate and analyze infrastructure operational data coming at them at a rapidly increasing pace from myriad sources, says Micro Focus. 

It can reduce the overall volume of potentially damaging events, provide alerts to conditions that could cause an outage, isolate the cause of those events, and apply process automation to remediate events, Micro Focus argues. 

Insight Arguably is Primary for AIOps

Insights are the objective of AIOps processes. Many would agree that automated or expedited response runs a close second. Knowing what to fix, then doing so, in other words. 

AIOps automation tools reducethe manual intervention DevOps monitoring tools require.
