The global AI Basic Data Services market size is predicted to grow from US$ 4784 million in 2025 to US$ 32308 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 31.5% from 2026 to 2032.

The global gross margin for AI infrastructure data services is projected to be around 49% in 2025. AI infrastructure data services refer to a collection of products and services encompassing the collection, processing, and labeling of data required for AI model training, alignment, and evaluation; quality control; data governance and version management; and the generation and delivery of synthetic data. Its core deliverables are structured data assets that can be directly used for training or evaluation (e.g., finished datasets, industry data packages, instruction and preference data, evaluation sets), or the ability to continuously produce this data (e.g., data labeling platforms and data operation pipelines). Statistically, AI infrastructure data services are typically defined by the commercial delivery of training data-related capabilities, emphasizing the transformation of data from its raw form to a trainable form. Data labeling, as a crucial step, is generally defined as adding labels and metadata to raw data such as images, text, audio, and video, making it usable for machine learning training and validation.

The core applications of AI Basic Data Services cover three main battlegrounds: First, the data closed loop for autonomous driving and advanced driver assistance systems (long-tail road scene acquisition, spatiotemporally consistent multi-sensor annotation, playback evaluation, and simulation synthesis completion); second, robotics and embodied intelligence (operation teaching and teleoperation data, multimodal interaction data such as visual-language-action or visual-language-tactile-action, and large-scale synthetic trajectories in simulation environments); and third, large models and generative artificial intelligence (instruction fine-tuning data, preference comparison and scoring data, red team and safety evaluation data, and continuous benchmark evaluation data). Among these, alignment and human feedback data has become an important part of the commercial training chain for large models. The market is moving from the traditional low-complexity annotation outsourcing stage to the high-value data engineering stage. As model capabilities improve, customers requirements for data are shifting from quantity to quality and verifiability, especially in safety-critical and high-reliability scenarios. Data providers no longer just deliver samples, but need to deliver traceable data lineage, reproducible evaluation protocols, and sustainable data production mechanisms. Synthetic data and simulation are becoming key tools for expanding coverage of long-tail and extreme scenarios, driving the evolution of data services from labor-intensive to platform-based and automated models. The competitive landscape is also being reshaped: leading clients tend to purchase both service delivery capabilities and platform capabilities to reduce the unit cost of data production and increase iteration speed; while data service companies are increasing unit price and customer stickiness by introducing expert participation, human feedback workflows, and more stringent quality control systems. Recent capital and cooperation trends surrounding data service companies also reflect the continued upward trend in long-term market demand for high-quality training data.
