AI Governance Software Market to Hit $12.5B by 2030, AIMG Says

LONDON – November 05, 2026 -- The market for software that approves, constrains and evidences enterprise AI use will grow from $3.6 billion in 2027 to $12.5 billion by 2030, a 51% CAGR, according to a Special Report from AI Markets Group (AIMG).

Enforcement, not policy, is now the constraint on enterprise AI

While 98% of organizations maintain AI data-access policies, 86% of IT leaders saw AI tools or agents access sensitive data beyond their intended scope last year. The report's headline figures point the same way: 96.5% of large US public companies have adopted AI governance policies, yet 46.3% of senior AI executives report bypasses.

"Governance is becoming a control plane, and vendors that own the enforcement points will capture most of the value," said AIMG Chair Peyman Mestchian.
