Was doing some research for a project and ended up going down a rabbit hole on where the AI agents market actually stands. Found a breakdown from Roots Analysis and a few things genuinely caught me off guard. The top-line number is $9.8B in 2025 growing to $220.9B by 2035. Yeah I know, every market report throws out big numbers. But the segment breakdown is where it gets interesting. What actually stood out: Code generation is the fastest growing use case by a mile, 38.2% CAGR. If you’ve used Cursor or watched what’s happening in dev tooling lately, it tracks. Healthcare is the fastest growing industry vertical which makes sense given how much admin and diagnostic work is still manual. Also, 85% of the market right now is ready-to-deploy horizontal agents. Build-your-own vertical agents are a tiny slice. I expected it to be more even honestly. Multi-agent systems are still behind single agents in market share but growing faster. Feels like we’re still early on that front. The part I found most honest in the report: They actually flagged unmet needs, emotional intelligence, ethical decision-making, and data privacy. These aren’t solved by Google, Microsoft, Salesforce or anyone else right now. Good to see it acknowledged rather than glossed over. North America leads (~40% share) but Asia-Pacific is growing at 38% CAGR. That region doesn’t get talked about enough in these discussions. Anyway, does the $221B figure feel realistic to anyone here or is this classic analyst optimism? Also curious if anyone’s actually seeing solid healthcare or BFSI deployments in the real world. submitted by /u/beardsatya
