聚焦行业,2022年中国AI工业质检领域集中关注于通信与电子制造、汽车产业及其供应链、消费品制造与原材料加工等。2023年新能源汽车产业增长情况最为可观,电子行业中的细分领域,依托技术创新和市场需求的增长,也实现了不错的规模增长。但相比之下,许多传统行业或新兴领域的发展则显得动力不足。尽管新兴行业场景不断涌现,试图开拓新的市场蓝海,但目前这些新兴领域的规模和影响力尚不足以彻底扭转整体市场的分化局面。
除此以外,中国政府对AI以及工业制造领域的扶持力度也在持续加大,各类补贴和优惠政策的出台,为企业研发创新和AI工业质检市场的商业化起到了推动作用。2023年中国AI赋能的工业质检解决方案市场份额的变化明显,体现在行业层面的横向拓展和纵向深耕,同时在技术创新、服务模式丰富和商业模式迭代等多维度企业也有了不同程度的表现。IDC预计中国AI质检市场虽然遇到明显挑战,但在政策利好、技术驱动、市场需求稳定等因素的共同作用下,会继续保持增长。

本报告通过案头资料研究,以及对行业独立软件开发商、系统集成商、IT产品厂商及最终用户的直接访谈,得出对于中国银行业IT解决方案市场份额及竞争格局的整体判断,旨在为银行机构以及IT服务商提供参考。随着银行数字化转型的深入与需求的升级,本报告覆盖的厂商范围预计也将随之不断变化。
"2023年,中国银行业解决方案市场在经济承压、IT自主创新、以及银行业全面推进数字化转型等因素影响下,市场环境更加多变且复杂,银行业整体营收增长承压,解决方案市场规模继续保持增长但是增速有所放缓。此时,需要厂商在其所聚焦的领域保持战略定力。2023年,内需疲弱,增量空间缩减,存量竞争成为银行业当前发展的重要特征,不管是商业银行,还是厂商都需要建立更加差异化的经营模式。同时,以客户体验为中心、以AI为抓手的数字化经营成为商业银行的必选项。与之相关的移动银行升级重构、以及面向银行提供智能营销、智能客服及智慧经营等解决方案成为市场热点。"——IDC中国金融行业研究经理思二勋表示。
"2023年是中国银行业承压前行的一年,压力测试在现实中开启推演。如何以全局视角进行结构化调整,向业务流程重构,运营模式转型要效益成为管理层关注的重点。与此相对应,技术服务侧的厂商格局从基础设施到应用层均呈现明显的头部效应。本报告重点关注的应用层IT解决方案市场,整体市场头部军团效应与细分市场充分竞争共存。该市场格局将在未来可预见时间内长期存在。面对行业用户业务下行压力加剧,IT预算优先级动态调整的现实,如何在战略调整与战术执行上敏捷应对,拥抱创新的同时探索业务模式的转型将是银行业IT解决方案服务商实现长期主义可持续发展目标的关键所在。未来三年将是对厂商定力、专注力,执行力的考验之时。"——IDC金融行业研究总监高飞表示。
