The financial industry's adoption of generative AI is faster than expected. According to 36Kr, the latest report from International Data Corporation (IDC), "Market Share of Generative AI Platforms and Application Solution in China's Financial Industry, 2025," reveals some impressive figures: In 2025, the generative AI market in China's financial industry will experience explosive growth, with the overall scale reaching 1.74 billion yuan, a year-on-year growth rate of as high as 90.4%, almost doubling within a year.
On this steeply rising track, Baidu Intelligent Cloud once again leads the way. With dual advantages of its technical foundation and practical scenarios, it maintains the top position in the market for generative AI platforms and application solutions in China's financial industry with a market share of 16.6%, successfully retaining its leading position. When a market expands at nearly a 90% growth rate, maintaining the top share is far more valuable than the number itself.
