A $6 trillion AI market scenario is a financing requirement, not evidence that customers will spend $6 trillion.
Bain estimates that annual AI infrastructure spending could reach $1.5 trillion by 2031. Assuming capital expenditure equals about 25% of industry revenue, sustaining that investment would require an annual AI market approaching $6 trillion.
The assumptions matter. This is a conditional economic requirement, not secured revenue.
For a B2B founder, the useful question sits much closer to the customer: which valuable activity becomes possible, who controls the budget and what would they stop buying to fund it?
Infrastructure investment creates capacity. A commercial strategy still has to establish why someone will pay to use it.
