The Russian artificial intelligence technology market continues to demonstrate steady growth — by the end of 2025, analysts predict an increase in the market volume by 25-30%, to 1.9 trillion rubles.
According to the Smart Ranking report, in 2024, the total revenue of the 150 largest companies in the industry from the monetization of AI solutions reached 1.486 trillion rubles, which is 25% higher than the previous year.
A feature of the market remains an extremely high concentration of income — 95% of all revenue is generated by just five companies. Yandex remains the permanent leader with a result of 500 billion rubles, demonstrating growth of almost 50% over the year. Sber is in second place with 400 billion rubles, followed by T-Technologies (350 billion rubles), VK (119 billion rubles) and Kaspersky Lab (49 billion rubles), Kommersant reports.
At the same time, some market participants express doubts about the correctness of such an assessment. Representatives of MWS AI (part of MTS Web Services) note that the figures given include revenues from related areas, while the real volume of the AI-based software and services market does not exceed 50 billion rubles. In their opinion, the calculation methodology requires a clearer division of revenues directly related to artificial intelligence technologies.
