Noshir Kaka, senior partner at McKinsey & Company, says AI will expand the addressable IT services market from $3 trillion to $5 trillion and create up to a $15 trillion opportunity by automating repetitive tasks across professional services. He cites a December 2025 CIO survey showing budget shifts and warns of legacy compression, platform-led models, outcome-based contracts, and large-scale reskilling to capture a $300B–$400B opportunity.
