According to a research report released by Omdia, AI commercialization, continuous supply chain fluctuations, digital sovereignty, and physical AI are the four driving forces that will shape the next stage of technological competition. Together, these driving forces point to a new development trend: AI must increasingly prove that it can deliver real returns; companies must remain competitive in the face of ongoing supply chain fluctuations; organizations must balance the costs of increasing technological autonomy and control; at the same time, intelligence will move further from software and screens to the physical world. In 2027, the tech industry will face a new test: how to turn years of rapidly growing investments and innovations into sustainable value. Omdia notes that the industry's focus is shifting from “what technology can achieve” to “what technology can bring”, including economic value, operational value, and competitive advantage.
