The global industrial foundation models market is witnessing strong growth, valued at USD 1.2 billion in 2025 and projected to reach USD 6.4 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 18.3% during the forecast period.

Roland Busch, President and CEO of Siemens AG, stated, Hannover Messe is taking place at exciting times. Industries face dramatic changes in technology and their markets, and Siemens is uniquely positioned to support their transformation. As a frontrunner in Industrial AI, comprehensive digital twins, and software-defined automation, we offer the technologies our customers need to be more resilient, more competitive and more sustainable.
The industrial foundation models market is transitioning from task specific industrial AI to reusable AI architectures for capturing complex relationships across engineering, production, asset and enterprise environments. Technology providers are creating models that are capable of reasoning across time-series signals, engineering specifications, process constraints, machine behaviour, and industrial knowledge graphs, allowing organisations to build on a single model, multiple applications, and a shared intelligence layer, rather than separate AI models for every function.
Increasing specialization of industrial AI is shaping the market, with foundation models being adapted for different manufacturing environments, processes, and operational requirements. The recent advances in industrial domain model and industrial task models, combined with advances in data preprocessing, fine-tuning, retrieval-augmented generation and prompt engineering, are making it possible for AI systems to be more contextually accurate when dealing with special industrial workflows.
Adjacent opportunities include autonomous engineering, AI-powered simulation, digital-twin orchestration, robotics intelligence, predictive asset optimization, industrial knowledge management and AI-enabled virtual commissioning, all providing sustainable new pathways to use the foundation-model across the industrial value chain.


The industrial foundation models market is moderately consolidated, with major technology and industrial software firms gaining competitive advantage by introducing industrial AI models, digital twins, domain-specific datasets, cloud platforms, simulation environments, and AI-powered engineering platforms. Key companies such as Microsoft Corporation, NVIDIA Corporation, Google DeepMind, Siemens AG, and IBM Corporation are working on technologies that will allow industrial companies to leverage AI in engineering, manufacturing, robotics, asset management, and in operational processes.
Industrial AI is supported by Microsoft Corporation with Azure AI, Azure Machine Learning, Azure Digital Twins, and industrial copilots; and NVIDIA Corporation with Omniverse, Isaac, Cosmos, and AI infrastructure for simulation, physical AI and industrial robotics. Google DeepMind is providing cutting-edge AI models like Gemini Robotics and Gemini Robotics-ER for reasoning and physical interaction. Industrial Foundation Models are integrated with Industrial Copilot, digital twins, automation, and engineering software in Siemens AG, and watsonx AI capabilities are integrated with industrial asset management and enterprise automation in IBM Corporation.
Competitive ecosystem continues to grow with the integration of industrial data, foundation models, digital twins, simulation, physical AI, edge computing, cloud platforms, and industrial automation software. AI models are being increasingly integrated with engineering systems, industrial operations in factories, robotics, predictive analytics, and asset-performance applications to help industrial customers transition from sporadic use of AI to wider, re-usable intelligence across various operating functions.
