According to a new Protiviti–CII study, manufacturing, finance, retail, healthcare, and other industries are changing for long-term sustainability and resilience due to AI-driven automation, predictive intelligence, and personalization.

Supply chain optimization, intelligent automation, and predictive maintenance have been the key areas of innovation in the manufacturing and industrial sectors. The 'Vision AI: Trends and Strategic Insights 2025' study by Protiviti and CII states that artificial intelligence-based solutions are currently improving cash flow, reducing inventory levels, and estimating indirect material usage.

A paper claims that AI-based solutions can predict the use of indirect materials, lower inventory levels, and enhance cash flow. Predictive intelligence and process automation are transforming the manufacturing and industrial sectors, which have historically been dominated by volume and size.

Supply chains and factories are evolving into intelligent, flexible systems that maximize output, reduce downtime, and guarantee durability in erratic markets.

AI is transforming the financial services industry's decision-making, regulation, and trust. The research pointed out that financial institutions are achieving accuracy and adaptability in an industry where dependability is crucial by integrating intelligence into risk assessment, compliance operations, fraud detection, and consumer interaction.

Al has caused significant modifications in internet commerce for retail. Businesses can now predict demand, manage pricing, and provide smooth, unified commerce experiences by personalizing client journeys using transaction data.

The healthcare research claims that AI is altering the fundamentals of patient care and public health by not only enhancing human knowledge but also facilitating advances in accessibility, diagnoses, and therapies.

AI is being used by IT services and enterprise technologies to promote digital transformation on a large scale. AI has emerged as the driving force behind contemporary IT ecosystems and settings, enabling enhanced analytics, strengthening cybersecurity, and automating cloud cost management.

Intelligent automated systems are being used by the real estate and hospitality industries to improve property management, optimize operations, and provide more intuitive visitor interactions while striking a balance between efficiency and experience.

AI is being adopted by the utilities, energy, and automotive industries to promote sustainability, reduce environmental impact, enhance safety, and spur innovation. Dhrubabrata Ghoshdastidar and Sandeep Gupta, leaders of Protiviti India, claim that artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing supply chains, business models, and consumer interaction, making it essential to strategy and resilience rather than merely efficiency. According to the research, businesses that properly integrate AI will benefit in the long run by becoming more sustainable and relevant in a world that is changing quickly.
