Global iGaming platform market set to grow to $130.52bn in 2026 as AI adoption widens

The global iGaming platform market has grown from 110.8 billion dollars in 2025 to 130.52 billion dollars in 2026, according to The Business Research Company, representing a compound annual growth rate of 17.8 percent.

The research firm projects the market will continue expanding sharply, reaching 248.95 billion dollars by 2030 as demand for digital gambling platforms accelerates worldwide.

AI moves beyond pilot schemes

The Business Research Company said operators are now moving artificial intelligence from isolated pilot projects into integrated systems that span multiple areas of their businesses. These include customer support, marketing, customer relationship management, compliance and risk analytics.

According to the source, this shift involves the use of generative, conversational and predictive models, allowing operators to embed AI tools more deeply into day-to-day operations rather than testing them in limited or standalone applications.

The broader integration suggests that AI is increasingly viewed by operators as a core operational component rather than an experimental add-on, touching functions from how customers are engaged and retained to how risk and regulatory compliance are managed.

Market growth trajectory

The figures point to sustained expansion in the iGaming platform sector over the coming years. The rise from 110.8 billion dollars in 2025 to 130.52 billion dollars in 2026 marks a significant single-year increase, and The Business Research Company’s forecast of 248.95 billion dollars by 2030 indicates the growth rate is expected to persist or accelerate over the medium term.

The data was published by The Business Research Company as part of its analysis of the global iGaming platform market, tracking both current valuations and forward projections for the industry.
