The pressing need for governments to digitize is
evident in the growing GovTech market, which is
projected to more than double from $606 billion
today,3 to $1.42 trillion by 2034 (see Figure 1; see
section A3 on page 29 for methodology behind
the analysis).4
This projected expansion is fuelled by multiple
factors. Advances in AI, data analytics and cloud
computing have opened new pathways for
optimizing public service delivery. For example, AI-
powered platforms now streamline everything from
tax processing to land registry, significantly reducing
human error and operational costs. In the United
States, the federal government has deployed AI to
detect financial fraud and potential insider trading,
resulting in savings of millions of dollars annually.5 Governments are also responding to rising
public expectations for seamless, personalized
and efficient services akin to what consumers
experience in other sectors. The demand for
government services to match the user-friendliness
of widely available commercial technology, such
as banking apps or online shopping platforms, is
placing pressure on public institutions to innovate.
The legal and regulatory environment is
another demand driver for GovTech solutions
as governments are enacting frameworks that
not only facilitate the adoption of emerging
technologies but also ensure their responsible
and secure use. As a result, public-private
collaborations are increasingly playing a critical
role in GovTech innovation.
