Driving Intelligence: How Agentic AI Is Rewiring Industry — With Product Servicing Poised to Win Big
Agentic AI is reshaping industrial decision-making by embedding intelligence directly into operations. With market growth projected from $1.4B to $15.7B by 2025 and a potential $650B annual revenue uplift by 2030, its impact is exponential. Yet only 1% of companies have reached maturity—most are still figuring out how to scale.
This article demystifies Agentic AI as more than automation—it’s a cognitive collaborator. It shows how LLMs, vector databases, and neural networks form a loop of sensing, interpreting, deciding, acting, and learning. From Mercedes-Benz’s 99.9% uptime to Merck’s 25% diagnostic gains, the results are real. Product servicing emerges as the highest-value opportunity, backed by McKinsey and SuperAGI data.
The piece closes with a strategic call to action: executives must architect their organisations to integrate Agentic AI—simplifying complexity, dissolving silos, and enabling human-machine symbiosis.
