Sopra Steria Next unveils its study "Generative AI: from Exploration to Impact"
The generative AI market doubled in size in 2024 and is expected to reach or exceed $100 billion by 2028.
In 2024, only 22% of large companies had deployed generative AI at scale.
A major challenge for companies in 2025 is to move from testing phases to global deployments.
PARIS, Feb. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sopra Steria Next, the consultancy division of the Sopra Steria Group, a major player in European technology, publishes the second edition of its study on the global generative AI market. The study "Generative AI – From Exploration to Impact" explores the dynamics of the generative artificial intelligence market, the challenges to be met, and the opportunities to maximize the value of generative AI.
At a glance:
2024 was a year of technological acceleration for generative AI with unprecedented investment levels and the emergence of more advanced and varied solutions.
Some disappointment among companies, with only 1 in 5 managing to deploy a first use case at scale, despite the proliferation of prototypes ("POCs").
A confirmation of the generative AI market projection to $100 billion by 2028.
Fabrice Asvazadourian, CEO of Sopra Steria Next, commented: "2024 stands out as a year of contrast: on one hand, there is technological dynamism and a wealth of AI solutions; on the other, companies are still striving for maturity to fully embrace this revolution. The path is set, but widespread adoption remains a challenge. To succeed, it is no longer enough to simply conduct experiments: the focus now must be on consolidating the foundations, prioritizing the integration of solutions, and concentrating on their tangible impact. The coming months will be decisive in turning this technological momentum into a true driver of process and business reinvention."
2024, a year of acceleration for the generative AI marketSopra Steria Next reports that 2024 marks a turning point for generative AI. On one hand, its growth has accelerated dramatically, with nearly a doubling of investments from major tech players in AI infrastructure and GenAI labs, and on the other hand, Nvidia has been able to meet the surge in demand for its GPUs. With the recent announcements from Amazon, Stargate, and Meta, this trend of massive investment should continue into 2025 and beyond.

Panduit Launces Innovative Solar Drain Clip to Boost Solar Panel Efficiency Across Asia Pacific
Revolutionary drainage solution addresses critical maintenance challenges in the region's diverse climate conditions SINGAPORE, June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Panduit, a global leader in electrical and network infrastructure solutions, today announced the launch of its Solar Drain Clip in the Asia Pacific market. This innovative product addresses one of the most significant challenges facing solar installations across the region's diverse climates: water accumulation and its negative impact on solar panel efficiency and longevity. Experience the full interactive Multichannel News Release here: The Asia Pacific region has seen unprecedented growth in solar energy adoption, with installations expected to increase by 40% over the next five years. However, the region's varied climate conditions—from monsoon seasons to high humidity environments—present unique challenges for maintaining optimal solar panel performance. "Water accumulation on solar panels is particularly problematic across APAC where intense rainfall and humidity can accelerate dirt buildup and algae growth," said Gavin Lee, Business Development Director for Asia Pacific. "Our Solar Drain Clip provides a simple yet effective solution that can significantly reduce maintenance costs while maximizing energy output—addressing a critical need for solar installations throughout the region." Optimized Drainage for Maximum Efficiency The Solar Drain Clip improves drainage by effectively directing water off panel surfaces, minimizing residue buildup that can cause shading and reduced power output. By maintaining cleaner panel surfaces, the clip helps sustain consistent energy generation in all weather conditions, a particular advantage during monsoon seasons experienced across many parts of APAC. Engineered for Asia Pacific's Demanding Environments With an estimated service life exceeding 20 years*, the Solar Drain Clip is specifically designed to withstand the region's harshest environmental conditions, from extreme heat and humidity to heavy seasonal rainfall. This durability stands in harsh contrast to lower-grade alternatives that typically require replacement within 1-2 years. "For large-scale solar installations across Asia Pacific, the reduction in maintenance frequency translates to significant operational cost savings," added Lee. "This makes our Solar Drain Clip particularly valuable for utility-scale solar farms and commercial installations throughout the region." Key Features and Benefits: Tool-Free Installation: Simple clip-on mechanism enables quick installation or removal, reducing labor costs Universal Compatibility: Unique range-taking design accommodates most solar panel frame thicknesses, simplifying inventory management Retrofit Capability: Equally effective for both new installations and existing solar arrays needing performance improvements Regional Testing: Extensively tested in various APAC climate conditions to ensure optimal performance Availability The Panduit Solar Drain Clip is now available through authorized Panduit distributors across the APAC region.

Grand Vision + Full Supply Chain: Launching a Flagship Autumn Event at the Source Under the theme "Guzhen Lights Up the World," this year's fair is distinguished by its professional, market-driven, and international focus. The main venue at the Guzhen Convention and Exhibition Center will operate in synergy with 8 major sub-venues, creating an exhibition-megastores linkage with an exhibition area exceeding 1.5 million square meters. This "1+8+N" model seamlessly integrates the main exhibition hall with major lighting megastores and countless businesses, combining physical and online platforms for a one-stop sourcing experience. As Lighting Capital of China, Guzhen provides robust industrial support for the fair. The town is home to over 76,000 business entities, with more than 80% related to lighting and its supporting sectors. With 3 million square meters of dedicated lighting showrooms, the town dominates over 70% of China's domestic lighting market, forming a massive industrial cluster worth over 100 billion yuan. In response to the overwhelming enthusiasm from exhibitors, the main venue's layout across its eight halls (A-H) has been meticulously optimized. This enhancement serves to elevate brand showcases and foster greater category synergy, demonstrating our commitment to forging a more professional, diverse, and comprehensive sourcing event. During the exhibition, the main venue will convene over 1,000 exhibitors.

Based on the specific sourcing needs of visiting international buyers, the organizer will carefully select highly compatible, high-quality exhibitors. All participating exhibitors have a strong export track record and hold international certifications such as CE/ROHS (Europe), FCC/UL (USA), CSA (North America), IC (Canada), GS (Germany/Europe), SAA (Australia), PSE (Japan), and KC (Korea), ensuring they meet the high standards of global buyers. This arrangement will enable buyers from around the globe to achieve efficient matchmaking and procurement with brand manufacturers from the source region, all within an environment characterized by "precision, optimal selection, innovation, and comfort." Concurrently, it will empower enterprises to expand their networks, uncover business opportunities, and foster the creation of an international and high-end business communication platform, thereby promoting mutually beneficial development for both parties. Industry Exchange & Sharing: Elevating the Multi-Tier Sourcing Event Over the four-day exhibition period, the main venue will convene expert elites from the "Government, Industry, Academia, Sales, and Research" sectors. Significant support will be provided by the China Association of Lighting Industry and the Guangdong E-Commerce Association.
