Key facts

  • This figure is higher than SpaceX's estimated $28.5 trillion TAM.

AI firm Anthropic is poised to inform investors that its total addressable market (TAM) for AI models could surpass $30 trillion, according to a Wall Street Journal report citing sources. This projection significantly exceeds SpaceX's earlier estimate of $28.5 trillion.

Anthropic's calculation of TAM is based on the entirety of work that could potentially be completed using AI models. Such a large TAM projection is intended to support Anthropic's valuation, justify its substantial infrastructure investments, guide its product development, and frame its competitive landscape against rivals like OpenAI and Google, while anchoring its growth narrative ahead of a planned initial public offering (IPO).

SpaceX had previously stated in its IPO filing that it identified the "largest actionable TAM in human history," attributing a significant portion of it to AI technology. The Claude chatbot maker is reportedly forecasting revenues between $190 billion and $200 billion for 2028, with its IPO valuation expected to be contingent on these financial projections.
