MarketsandMarkets: The retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) market is projected to grow from USD 1.94 billion in 2025 to USD 9.86 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 38.4% during the forecast period.
The market's growth is primarily driven by the rapid digital transformation of enterprise AI systems worldwide, where organizations across industries are increasingly adopting large language models (LLMs), vector databases, and generative AI platforms to enable accurate, context-aware applications such as chatbots, search engines, and knowledge retrieval tools. This transformation is being further accelerated by government initiatives and funding programs aimed at strengthening digital infrastructure in AI, particularly in regulated sectors like healthcare and finance.
